Type
Modular building frames and enclosure frames
The welded skeleton of a modular room or a technical enclosure: a rectangular hollow section frame with four corner posts, a ribbed floor deck and an open roof frame; a long frame whose walls are filled with closely spaced studs and rails; a low open cage of hollow sections; a frame of upright slatted panels. The customer clads and fits it out.
The gallery holds modular frames from four and a half metres to seven and a half metres.
What the drawing must show
A part like this is priced from the drawing. The quotation is fastest when it carries:
- The overall dimensions and the stud and rail pitch, so the cladding fits
- Section sizes and the material grade
- The floor deck and the lifting points
- Weld symbols on the corner joints, and the squareness the frame must hold
- The finish, and whether the frame is painted or hot-dip galvanised

Real structures that came through this company as built jobs, quoted enquiries or designs from our own office, shown as anonymous models with their measured size. Open one for its description.
- Overall size, L x W x H
- 5 990 x 2 438 x 2 818 mm
A modular building frame of rectangular hollow section posts and rails, with cross members bracing the open roof and a ribbed floor deck of closely spaced joists below. Corner lugs with bolt holes top each post for stacking or anchoring. It measures about 6.0 by 2.4 m and stands about 2.8 m high. Parts like this are tacked up on a fixture and welded through, then blasted and painted in house.
- Overall size, L x W x H
- 7 500 x 2 960 x 2 990 mm
A long box frame built from hollow section posts and rails forms this modular building frame, with both long walls filled by closely spaced vertical studs tied into horizontal ladder rails. Diagonal cross members brace the open roof, and a small mounting bracket sits on the floor rail near one door opening. It measures about 7.5 m long, 3.0 m wide and 3.0 m high. Parts like this are tack welded on a fixture and welded out, then blasted and painted before shipping.
- Overall size, L x W x H
- 6 000 x 3 230 x 2 990 mm
A wide modular building frame like this is built from hollow box section corner posts and base and top rails, with closely spaced vertical studs and horizontal rails forming each wall into a grid. The roof stays open and the base rail runs flush around all four sides for a floor. It measures about 6.0 by 3.2 m and stands about 3.0 m high. A part like this is welded out on a fixture, then blasted and painted before shipping.
- Overall size, L x W x H
- 4 480 x 2 220 x 984 mm
An open enclosure frame built from hollow steel sections, with corner posts, top cross rails and a second ring of rails low near the floor for a future deck. Both views show the same even grid of uprights and horizontals, with no cladding yet, forming a bare cage for walls and floor to be fixed on later. It measures about 4.5 by 2.2 m and stands about 1.0 m high. Such parts are tacked up on a fixture and welded through.
- Overall size, L x W x H
- 4 745 x 595 x 2 182 mm
A frame with slatted panels built from upright box-section posts and top rails, forming a row of standing panels with open bays between them. Two panels carry rows of horizontal slatted plates, while a door frame and narrow plain plate panels close off one end. It measures about 4.7 m long, 0.6 m wide and 2.2 m high. A part like this is tacked up on a fixture and welded through, with every bore and pad cut after welding.
Each model is rendered from its own geometry in raw steel, without paint, and is shown as a still. Customer names, machine designations and drawing numbers are not published; part lists and files are not offered. The interactive model above this section is a parametric example, not one of these.
How a part like this goes through the hall
Hollow sections are cut to length and the frame is welded square on a jig, floor first, then the walls and the roof frame; a series of frames is welded on the 14 m robotic track. A frame that fits the blasting chamber, 8 000 x 5 000 x 3 000 mm, is blasted and painted in house; hot-dip galvanising is arranged on request.
