Selection guide for steel hangar kits in extreme climate zones

Against the backdrop of intensified global climate change, frequent extreme weather events have raised higher requirements for the durability and functionality of infrastructure. Whether it's the extreme cold in the Arctic Circle, the scorching heat in the Middle East, or the typhoons that hit coastal areas, traditional building structures often struggle to cope with complex environmental challenges. In this context, steel hangar kits have become the preferred solution for extreme climate zones due to their high strength, modularity, and rapid deployment characteristics. This article will analyze the core requirements and material selection of steel hangar kits based on global climate characteristics, and explore how Canglong Group can provide innovative support for this field.

1. The challenges of extreme climate zones and the core requirements of steel hangar kits

Extremely cold regions (such as the Arctic Circle and Siberia)

Challenge: Low temperatures below -40 ℃ can cause material brittleness, and strong wind and snow loads pose a challenge to structural stability.

Steel hangar kit requirement: Low temperature tough steel (such as Q345C/D grade) should be used, combined with insulation layer design to prevent cold bridge effect. The modular structure needs to support rapid assembly to reduce on-site operation time. 

High temperature and arid regions (such as the Middle East and African deserts)

Challenge: High temperature above 50 ℃ accelerates metal oxidation, and sandstorms erode surface coatings.

Steel hangar kit requirements: corrosion-resistant coating (such as hot-dip zinc+polyurethane coating) is required, combined with ventilation and heat dissipation system. Steel Structural Kits require enhanced thermal expansion resistance design.

Frequent occurrence of typhoons/hurricanes in coastal areas (such as Southeast Asia and the Caribbean)

Challenge: Strong winds above level 17, salt spray corrosion, and storm surge impact.

Requirements for steel hangar kit: anti wind pressure structural design (such as reducing wind resistance with conical roof), C-shaped steel columns+anti rust aluminum magnesium alloy connectors, combined with concrete foundation anchoring system.

High altitude/strong ultraviolet areas (such as the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the Andes Mountains)

Challenge: Ultraviolet radiation accelerates material aging, and the temperature difference between day and night exceeds 30 ℃, causing thermal stress.

Requirements for Steel Hangar Kits: Add UV resistant polyester fiber coated sheet, use thermal insulation anchor bolts to reduce heat conduction, and reserve expansion joints in structural design.

2. Core materials and technological breakthroughs of steel hangar kits

Main structural materials

High strength H-beam and box girder: yield strength ≥ 550MPa, used for wind pressure resistant frames.

Weathering steel (such as Corten A/B): can resist corrosion without additional coating and is suitable for high humidity environments.

Sandwich insulation board: rock wool/polyurethane core material, which combines fire prevention, insulation and sound insulation functions.

Connection and anti-corrosion technology

Friction type high-strength bolts: excellent seismic performance, suitable for earthquake prone areas.

Arc sprayed zinc aluminum coating: with a thickness of up to 200 μ m and a salt spray resistance life of over 20 years.

Cathodic protection system: For offshore hangars, magnesium alloy sacrificial anodes are used to extend their lifespan.

Modular design innovation

Pre arching adjustment technology: Prefabricated components adapt to frozen soil settlement or foundation deformation through adjustable points.

Intelligent ventilation system: Integrated temperature and humidity sensors, automatically adjusting the internal microenvironment.
