Dream Bigger with HSS

Hollow structural segments (HSS) give architects powerful tools to design taller, wider and bigger, supporting more weight while weighing less than comparable wide-flange sections. HSS’s distinctive rounded edges also offer great aesthetic possibilities for designs that make use of exposed structural steel.

Food Processing Manufacturing Plant

Topeka, KS

See how HSS’s closed design and efficient strength-to-weight ratio made it possible to build a bacteria-resistant facility without breaking the bank on fabrication costs.

I think architects are pleasantly surprised by the finish we can get with HSS — the shape of the members and their connections are beautiful in and of themselves.
