Benchmark Case | H-Beams, Angle Steels & Steel Plates Exported to El Salvador for Government Construction Project

Our client is a renowned construction engineering firm in El Salvador, entrusted with the construction of a key municipal government office building in San Salvador—the capital city. As a landmark government project, it demands strict compliance with local building codes and international quality standards, with core requirements including high structural safety, durability, and adaptability to El Salvador's seismic zone conditions. The project required a full range of steel profiles to form the building's load-bearing frame, structural bracing, and floor slabs, making the quality and performance of the steel materials critical to the project's success.

Product Solution: Customized Steel Profiles for Government Building Structures

After in-depth technical communication, review of the project's structural design drawings, and analysis of seismic and load-bearing requirements, we provided a comprehensive solution featuring H-beams, angle steels, and steel plates—all tailored to meet the rigorous standards of government construction. The key product advantages and customizations are as follows:

- H-Beams (Main Load-Bearing Structure): Adopted Q355B (equivalent to ASTM A36) grade H-beams, the core load-bearing component of the building frame. This grade boasts excellent yield strength (minimum 355 MPa) and tensile strength (minimum 470 MPa), enabling it to withstand the building's self-weight, occupancy load, and seismic forces. Customized specifications (height: 200mm-600mm, flange width: 100mm-250mm, web thickness: 6mm-14mm) were provided to match different layers and structural sections of the government building.

- Angle Steels (Structural Bracing & Framing): Supplied Q235B (equivalent to ASTM A283 Gr.C) angle steels for structural bracing, roof truss connections, and wall framing. With excellent ductility and bending performance, the angle steels enhance the overall stability and anti-seismic capacity of the building. Customized sizes (leg length: 50mm-125mm, thickness: 5mm-10mm) were designed to fit the complex connection requirements of the building's non-load-bearing structures.

- Steel Plates (Floor Slabs & Structural Reinforcement): Provided ASTM A36 steel plates for floor slab fabrication and key structural reinforcement areas. The plates feature uniform thickness (8mm-20mm) and high flatness, ensuring seamless welding with H-beams and reliable load transfer. Strict surface quality control (no cracks, inclusions, or defects) was implemented to meet the high standards of government construction.

- Quality Compliance: All steel profiles underwent rigorous quality testing, including chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing, and dimensional accuracy inspection. They are fully compliant with ASTM international standards and El Salvador's local building codes, with complete quality certificates provided to facilitate project acceptance by government authorities.

Application Scenario & Implementation

Our steel profiles were widely used in the core structure of the government office building:

1) H-beams formed the main frame columns and beams, supporting the entire building's weight and resisting lateral forces (seismic, wind);

2) Angle steels were used for cross-bracing in the frame and roof truss assembly, improving structural rigidity;

3) Steel plates were processed into composite floor slabs and used for reinforcement of beam-column joints, enhancing connection stability.

To ensure the smooth progress of this key government project, our team provided full-cycle professional support:

1) Collaborated closely with the client's engineering team to optimize product specifications, ensuring perfect alignment with the structural design;

2) Arranged efficient maritime logistics and streamlined customs clearance processes, delivering all steel profiles to the construction site in San Salvador ahead of the scheduled timeline;

3) Dispatched technical experts to the site to provide guidance on steel installation, welding quality control, and structural alignment, ensuring compliance with project standards.

Project Outcome & Client Feedback

 

With our high-quality customized steel profiles and professional technical support, the El Salvador government office building project progressed smoothly and passed the strict acceptance inspection by local government authorities. The steel structure demonstrated excellent stability and seismic performance, meeting the highest safety standards for landmark government buildings. The project has now entered the final decoration phase and is expected to be put into use soon, providing a modern, safe, and efficient office space for local government departments.

 

The client highly recognized our products and services: "The H-beams, angle steels, and steel plates from ROYAL STEEL fully meet the rigorous requirements of our government construction project. Their stable quality, precise specifications, and compliance with international standards have laid a solid foundation for the project's structural safety. ROYAL STEEL's efficient delivery and professional on-site support have also helped us avoid construction delays. We are proud to cooperate with ROYAL STEEL and look forward to partnering on more key infrastructure projects in El Salvador in the future."
