Steel Buildings in West Virginia

Pre-engineered metal buildings in West Virginia and Virginia find an audience who already appreciates steel construction. The greatest project ever developed in West Virginia would have been impossible without steel.

The New River Gorge Bridge

A triumph of engineering and steel construction in West Virginia, the New River Gorge Bridge spans the chasm over the river. When it opened in 1977, it was the highest vehicle bridge in the world.

The stats on the awesome steel arch bridge are impressive:

• Over 16,000 vehicles cross the bridge daily.
• The bridge runs 3,030 feet in length.
• The longest span is 1,700 feet.
• The roadway hangs 876 feet above the gorge floor.
• The bridge framing required over 88 million pounds of steel.
• The bridge cuts travel from one side of the gorge to the other from 45 minutes to 45 seconds.
• Guided bridge-walks allowed on the steel catwalk underneath the roadway.

West Virginians are so proud of the New River Gorge Bridge, they chose it to grace their commemorative state quarter in 2005.

Benefits Of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

There’s a reason steel was chosen as the building material for the New River Gorge Bridge — only steel can span massive distances while maintaining its strength and integrity. Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material, and this quality makes it ideal for open, unobstructed building interiors as well as bridges. Churches, warehouses, aircraft hangars, pavilions, equestrian arenas, big-box stores, gymnasiums, recreational facilities, and other structures enjoy the open spaces afforded by steel. However, clear span interiors are just one of the many benefits enjoyed by owners of steel buildings in West Virginia and Virginia.
