LEARN MORE ABOUT AC472

IAS AC472 is a complete quality control assessment management process system specifically for steel structure manufacturing companies, accredited by MBMA – Metal Building Manufacturers Association and ICC – International Code Council.

IAS AC472 is important not only for works manufactured and constructed by Steel Structures for the world’s No. 1 advanced country like the US. AC472 is the “Passport” for non-US steel structure manufacturers who want to officially export structural steel products to this market, requiring AC472 quality certificate.

In the US, AC472 Certificate for steel structure constructions, projects ensures that all products comply with the design, construction, and fabrication process in accordance with quality standards and evaluated by an independent third party. Investors using products and services from manufacturers and companies producing pre-engineered steel buildings with AC472 certificate will be assured of quality. A steel building manufactured according to AC472 standard will receive the following benefits:

  • Pre-engineered steel building projects manufactured on the basis of AC472 will be granted construction permits faster.
  • The durability and safety of steel buildings according to AC472 standards will be higher.
  • The cost of buying insurance for the works is lower.
  • Maintenance cost for steel building system will be lower.
  • The commercial value of these works is higher.

About the IAS AC472 Certificate Authority:

  • AC472 is overseen by the International Accreditation Service (IAS), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the International Code Council (ICC).
  • This body evaluates and accredits building departments, special inspection bodies, testing and calibration laboratories.
  • Official website: https://iasonline.org.

6 Amazing Advantages Of Steel Structure For Construction Works

01. FAST CONSTRUCTION & INSTALLATION TIME

Steel structures are pre-fabricated at the factory and then transported to the construction site and erected by bolts, so the construction time is shortened to only about 1/3 compared to the construction time of traditional concrete houses, helping the project to be quickly put into use.

02. LARGE CLEAR SPANS

Pre-engineered steel buildings claim to exceed large spans up to 100m, pre-engineered steel buildings can be flexibly applied in many projects, especially commercial centers, exhibition centers, airports,…

03. SAVING COST

Because of the lightweight of steel buildings, lighter foundation requirements result in significant cost reductions. In addition, the shortened construction period greatly reduces labor costs at the construction site.

04. FLEXIBILITY IN EXPANDING

The components of the steel building are linked together through bolts and pre-designed connection faces, so the expansion is flexible and does not take much time and cost.

05. LESS WEIGHT

Reduce the load pressure on the foundation compared to traditional concrete construction. In addition, with a lightweight structural frame system, help to limit the effects of seismic problems.

06. SUITABLE WITH MANY MATERIALS

Pre-engineered steel buildings are suitable for many types of finishing materials such as corrugated iron, wood, glass, brick, etc.

Hundreds of projects are used by WorldSteel Group with this solution to implement in Vietnam and international markets. Refer here: Our Project.
