As the construction industry shifts rapidly toward efficiency, optimization, and sustainability, shaped steel has become increasingly important in modern structural systems. In addition to delivering technical efficiency, shaped steel contributes to shorter construction time and lower total project costs. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of shaped steel, Viet Son Mechanical proudly supports hundreds of projects across Vietnam, from industrial factories to residential buildings.
1. Modern Construction Trends and the Role of Shaped Steel
As building standards increasingly emphasize industrialization, fast construction, and cost-effectiveness, traditional materials like reinforced concrete are gradually being replaced by lightweight steel structures. Among them, shaped steel stands out as a superior solution due to its high load-bearing capacity, ease of installation, and adaptability to various project types.
Shaped steel is widely used in:
- Pre-engineered steel buildings
- Logistics centers
- Cold storage and industrial warehouses
- Modular residential buildings
- Showrooms, supermarkets, and steel-frame offices
- Power substations, solar panel structures, and technical stations
2. Types of Shaped Steel Provided by Viet Son Mechanical
Viet Son Mechanical is one of the few enterprises in Vietnam that specializes in manufacturing and supplying high-quality cold-formed shaped steel products, including:
U, C, Z, G Steel – Purlin Solutions for Industrial Structures
- C Purlin: Commonly used in secondary frames, wall purlins, or medium-load structural elements.
- Z Purlin: Ideal for sloped roofs with interlocking features for quick and efficient assembly.
- U Purlin: A simple, durable section used for boundary frames, rafters, and secondary support.
- G Purlin: Often applied in bracing systems, lightweight trusses, or structural reinforcement components.
Omega and Sigma Steel – Core Profiles for Modular Buildings
- Omega Purlin: Omega-shaped cross-section designed to evenly distribute loads, used in partition walls, ceilings, or light wall structures.
- Sigma Purlin: Designed with longitudinal folds to increase vertical stiffness, ideal for multi-story modular buildings and lightweight residential structures.
Steel Floor Decking – Composite Concrete Floor System
- Corrugated profile with embossments for concrete bonding
- Widely used for mezzanine floors, multi-story factory flooring, and showroom decks
3. Key Advantages of Shaped Steel in Modern Construction
Optimized weight, increased efficiency
Compared to hollow or solid steel sections, shaped steel is up to 40% lighter, reducing foundation load and saving on substructure materials.
High load capacity and structural stability
Optimized cross-sectional designs (Z, Sigma, Omega, etc.) provide excellent performance in resisting deflection, torsion, and bending.
Quick assembly, faster project completion
Products can be pre-fabricated at the factory and bolted on-site without welding, reducing construction time by 30–50%.
Cost-effective and easy to maintain
More affordable than hot-rolled sections or traditional materials. Galvanized surfaces offer long-term rust protection of up to 20–30 years.
4. Real-World Applications in Modern Construction
Industrial factories and warehouses
- Main frame: hollow steel
- Secondary frame: C/Z shaped steel, G-type bracing
- Floor decking: used for mezzanine levels and service platforms
Modular residential buildings and urban lightweight homes
- Wall system: Omega steel
- Roofing: C steel with Z purlins
- Ceiling: Sigma steel combined with insulated panels
Showrooms and commercial centers
- Lightweight frame systems that maximize open spaces without columns
- Floor decking that reduces story height and enhances design flexibility
Solar farms and technical facilities
- Solar mounting systems using C/U/G shaped steel, optimized for outdoor durability and reduced structural load
