Traditional brick and concrete gas stations are falling out of favor. Here’s why:
Time-Consuming Builds: Construction can take months, delaying your opening and revenue.
High Maintenance Costs: Common issues like cracks and leaks lead to expensive, frequent repairs.
Weather Vulnerability: Their structural stability is a major concern during extreme weather events.
The rise of steel-structured gas stations precisely addresses these pain points. As a new type of building form, it has become the first choice for more and more operators due to its multiple advantages. Today, let's take a closer look at its “hard-core strengths”:
Fast Construction, Early Operation and Profit-making
Steel structure components are prefabricated in the factory and only need to be assembled on-site, eliminating the long wait for traditional pouring and curing. A regular gas station can be completed in 30-45 days, shortening the construction period by more than half compared with traditional methods, enabling the station to be put into use faster.
Cost-saving, Higher Long-term Cost-effectiveness
Although the initial material cost is slightly higher, the construction requires less labor and has a short construction period, saving a lot of miscellaneous expenses. Moreover, steel is corrosion-resistant and anti-aging, so almost no major repairs are needed in the later stage. Over ten years, the maintenance cost is more than 30% lower than that of traditional structures.
High Safety and Stability, Confident in Dealing with Risks
The strength of steel is several times that of concrete, with strong earthquake-resistant and typhoon-resistant capabilities. After being coated with professional fire-proof paint, its fire resistance fully meets the standards, making the operation of gas stations more reassuring.
High Aesthetic Appeal, Suitable for Diverse Scenarios
Steel structures have strong plasticity and can create various styles such as flat roofs, sloping roofs, and special-shaped roofs. Whether it is a gas station on a street in an urban area or a gas station in a highway service area, it can easily adapt to the surrounding environment.
More Environmentally Friendly, in Line with the Green Trend
Steel can be 100% recycled, and there is no dust and less construction waste during the construction process. It meets the current “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” requirements and can also help establish a green image for the brand.
With significant advantages in construction time, cost, safety, and design, steel-structured gas stations are the new industry standard. As this technology matures, it’s becoming the definitive choice for forward-thinking projects.
