HENGON successfully concluded its participation in BUILDEXPO Africa 2026, held from July 8 to 10, 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya. The three-day exhibition provided an excellent opportunity for us to connect with customers, contractors, developers, and construction professionals from across Africa.

When people shop around for companies that build with steel, the first thing they usually look at is the price. But after years of exporting steel buildings to customers around the world, we've found that experienced contractors tend to ask different questions.

Discover how HENGON completed a steel canopy expansion for a warehouse project in the Philippines, matching the original roof slope and delivering on time for seamless installation.

When it comes to buying a steel building, people usually think about the cost, how long it takes to get it, and what it looks like. But contractors who have been around the block know that what really sets suppliers apart is how they put the steel structure together.

When many people first hear about prefabricated steel buildings, they usually focus on one advantage: faster construction. But after working with clients in Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East, we've found that speed is not always the biggest concern.

When planning a stadium, airport terminal, exhibition hall, aircraft hangar, or large logistics center, one challenge always comes up: how do you create a huge open space without filling the building with columns?

When people think about steel structures, warehouses and factories are usually the first buildings that come to mind. But today, steelwork applications are expanding far beyond industrial projects. More developers, architects, and investors are choosing steel for office buildings, shopping centers, exhibition halls, and other commercial developments.

When businesses plan a new factory or workshop, one question often comes up: What is steelwork, and why is it so common in industrial buildings? Steelwork refers to the use of structural steel components like columns, beams, and roof trusses to build the main framework of a structure.

If you are planning a modern chicken farm, one of the first questions you may ask is: What is steelwork, and why do so many poultry farms use it? Steelwork refers to the structural steel system used to build the framework of a building. In poultry farming, steel structures are widely used for chicken houses, feed storage buildings, egg production farms, and equipment rooms.

If you searched “What is steelwork” while planning a warehouse project, you may have noticed one thing. Almost every modern industrial warehouse today uses steel structures.

A space frame can resist bending, compression, tension, and shear forces together because of its rigid joints. A space truss mainly resists tension and compression through axial force transfer.

Compared with conventional construction, a prefabricated steel workshop builds faster, expands more easily, and better suits modern industrial production. For many manufacturers, logistics companies, and engineering contractors, steel buildings have become the practical choice for projects that need both efficiency and flexibility.
