Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB)

Primary Structural Members

Primary Structural Members

Main Frames

PHX Rigid Frame

Steel frames consist of columns and double-sloped beams, known as rafters, which support the roof of the building. This design creates a stable structure with runners that securely hold the sheeting to form a complete building enclosure.
The PHX rigid frame features a clear-span structure, highlighted by tapered columns and rafters, including tapered haunches for added stability. This system is perfect for customers seeking an economical solution with column-free spaces, unmatched flexibility in plant layout along with the ability to achieve a clear span of up to 395 ft

PHX Continuous Beam

This system is based on the rigid frame concept with the addition of intermediate support columns, which allows larger building width and economical designs. This system typically has a lower cost per square foot of space and offers an interior column spacing of 66 ft or more. This system can be installed in any width or eave height and is ideal for larger production or storage units.

PHX Unibeam

A Unibeam frame consists of a single gable clear span with straight hot-rolled sections for the columns and built-up sections for the rafters. It is designed following AISC Type-II construction standards.

PHX Lean-To

This structure features a single column and one sloping rafter. One end of the rafter is supported by an adjacent building, while the other end is supported by a column. Designed with a single slope or pitch, this frame relies on the adjacent building for additional support.It offers an open and unobstructed interior space, including peaked, single-slope, and lean-to roof designs, accommodating spans up to 100 ft.

PHX Deck Frame

The deck sheet components are provided for multi-story buildings. This type of frame is typically designed to offer mezzanine floors and membrane roof applications and is aesthetically superior. The standard panel is used as a form (shuttering) on mezzanine floors. The deck frame can also be used as a deck panel over which concrete is poured. This type of structure also enhances the speed and economy of steel floor construction.

End-Wall Posts

End-wall posts are vertical structural elements placed at the ends of the building, forming part of the end- wall framing system. These posts provide support for the walls, which typically include doors, windows, and other openings, and contribute to the overall stability of the structure by helping with load support, weather and wind resistance.

Rafters

We manufacture solid web and open web rafters for our PEMBs. Rafters are the primary structural components of the roof system. They are horizontal or sloped beams that span across the width of the building, forming part of the main frame. The rafters support the roof covering and transfer the roof loads, such as the weight of the roof itself, wind, and other environmental forces, to the columns or side walls of the building.

Secondary Structural Members

Purlins and Girts

Purlins and girts are essential structural components positioned beneaththe roof and wall running along theperimeter of pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs), providing critical support for the roof sheets and wall cladding. Phenix Construction Technologies Inc. offers two types of purlins and girts: (i) PHX-Zees and (ii) PHX-Cees, with depths ranging from 6 1/2 to 11 13/16 inches and thicknesses ranging from 12, 14 to16 Ga.
A purlin is a cold-formed horizontal secondary member in the roof structure that overlaps the outer rafter flange, forming a continuous support system. It provides essential support for roof panels, which are further stabilized by the building's primary structural framework.Similarly, a girt is a cold-formed secondary member that overlaps the outer column flange, creating a continuous support member for wall panels. Purlins and girts play a crucial role in enhancing the building's structural integrity, offering lateral stability and ensuring the strength and performance of pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs).

Eave Struts

Their primary function is to support the gutters while also serving as the junction between the roof and wall cladding. Acting as the final purlin, this component plays a critical role in the structural system by effectively transferring longitudinal loads from the roof to the wall, ensuring stability and durability.

Open Web Joists

These are long-span, load-carrying components suitable for providing direct support for floors and roof decks in buildings. An open web joist is a fabricated structural member and is often used in mezzanine structures. These types of joists are composed of top and bottom chords that are connected by a web of diagonal and vertical steel members, forming a truss-like structure.

Open Web Joists for Custom Steel Building Construction

Cable / Angle / Rod Bracing Tube

The bracing system in pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs) is a crucial component that ensures longitudinal stability by transmitting forces to the foundation. It consists of roof bracing and wall bracing, where the roof bracing transfers longitudinal forces to the wall bracing, which then channels them to the foundation through the columns, enhancing the overall structural integrity.

Roof & Wall Sheeting

Phenix Rib

Purlins and Girts

Phenix Construction Technologies Inc.’spre-painted Galvalume (alu-zinc) sheeting features amulti-layer coating designed for enhanced durability invarying weather conditions and improved aesthetics. These claddings are suitable for roofing and wall coverings (sheeting) that encase the main steel frame and are available with orwithout insulation. Sandwich panels consist ofanexterior metal skin, apolyurethane core, and aninner metal skin. The core thickness options are 1 19/50 in, 1 97/100 in, 2 19/20 in, and 3 47/50 in, with apolyurethane density of2 9/50 - 2 1/2 lb/ft³.

Decking

Purlins and Girts

Steel decking is a structural component made of cold-formed, corrugated sheet metal, used as a base for concrete slabs or roofing systems in commercial and industrial buildings. It provides strength, durability and ease of installation. Steel decking is efficient and strong and used widely in high-rise buildings, bridges and industrial facilities.
