Building Construction

Trachte buildings have a complete, internal, stand-alone structural-steel framework which provides tremendous strength and design flexibility. Trachte’s heavy-duty, overlapping architectural siding and roofing provide complete weather and environmental protection using the steel building industry’s most up-to-date construction materials and techniques.

Trachte’s ribbed, Galvalume steel panels feature a baked-on Kynar 500 PVDF resin-based super-coating with standard 30 and 40-year finish warranties and meet the most stringent Architectural Steel Coating specifications. Trachte’s superior design, engineering, materials, construction and quality combined with the lowest operating costs over time, provide the greatest value and make it the ideal choice for utilities, owners, and engineers who need maximum design flexibility, durability, and security for their vital electronics, power, control, protection, communications, & other technical equipment and mechanical systems.
