Multispan warehouse

A multispan warehouse is a steel structure with multiple bays separated by internal columns. This allows for larger overall spans, heavier loads, and flexible roof support. At Steel & Prefabs, we design and fabricate multispan steel warehouses for industrial, commercial, and storage applications in Kenya.

Unlike clear span warehouses, multispan warehouses use strategically placed columns to support larger roof areas. This makes them suitable for heavy inventory, industrial machinery, and high-density storage operations.

Why Multispan Warehouses Matter

Large industrial operations need efficient storage while keeping construction costs reasonable. Steel multispan warehouses allow you to build bigger areas without excessively thick roof trusses or expensive single-span beams. Proper design ensures safe load distribution and structural integrity.

Poorly designed multispan warehouses risk roof sagging, column misalignment, or uneven load distribution. Professional engineering eliminates these issues.

Key Benefits

• Multiple internal spans allow larger overall warehouse area

• Strong steel construction for heavy-duty storage

• Cost-effective compared to extremely wide clear span warehouses

• Flexible internal layouts for racks, machinery, or storage

• Long service life with minimal maintenance

These features make multispan warehouses ideal for industrial and commercial operations.

Common Applications

Multispan steel warehouses are widely used for:

• Industrial manufacturing facilities

• High-density storage and distribution centers

• Agricultural produce storage

• Logistics and freight warehouses

• Commercial multi-bay storage

We fabricate custom multispan warehouses based on roof span, bay width, load requirements, and site conditions. This ensures safe, efficient, and durable storage structures.

Built for Strength and Safety

Multispan warehouses operate under significant loads. Improper engineering can compromise safety and operational efficiency. At Steel & Prefabs, every multispan warehouse is designed with proper load calculations, quality steel sections, and secure connections for long-term reliability.
