The Past, Present and Future of Space Frame Structures

UZAY SYSTEM is an engineering and construction company specializing in space frame structures, prefabricated steel buildings, steel roofing systems, roof and façade systems and large-span structural solutions.

With an integrated approach to engineering, design, manufacturing and installation, UZAY SYSTEM develops project-specific solutions for industrial, commercial, architectural and large-span structures.

Our scope of services extends from structural engineering and detailed design to manufacturing, transportation and site installation. We also provide turnkey solutions for industrial buildings, incorporating structural steelwork, roofing and façade systems, infrastructure and reinforced concrete works.

Our objective is to provide technically sound, efficient and constructible solutions while maintaining coordination throughout every stage of the project.

At UZAY SYSTEM, each project is considered as a complete structural and architectural system rather than as an individual product or application.

Our engineering process evaluates the interaction and compatibility of the major components of a building, including the primary structural system, space frame, roofing, façade, architectural elements, infrastructure and reinforced concrete works.

Project-specific connection details, interfaces and installation requirements are considered during the design process to ensure continuity between engineering, manufacturing and site execution.

When acting as a subcontractor, UZAY SYSTEM works in coordination with main contractors, architects, structural engineers, consultants and other project disciplines, providing specialist engineering and construction expertise as a technical solution partner.

Structural Engineering and Load Analysis

Structural analysis is an essential part of our engineering process.

Depending on the structural system and project requirements, analyses are performed considering the relevant design loads and environmental effects, including:

• Dead loads
• Live loads
• Snow loads
• Wind loads
• Thermal effects
• Seismic effects

For space frame structures, wind actions are evaluated according to the geometry, configuration and orientation of the structure. Where applicable, wind effects are considered within the plane of the frame, perpendicular to the frame and along relevant diagonal directions.

Load cases and combinations are established in accordance with the applicable design standards and project criteria.

Our engineering approach aims to achieve an appropriate balance between structural safety, durability, material efficiency, manufacturability and ease of installation.

Modular Structural Systems

UZAY SYSTEM's space frame solutions are based on a modular structural concept, enabling the system to be manufactured, transported and assembled in a controlled and systematic manner.

The modular nature of the system provides flexibility during production and installation and allows structural configurations to be adapted to project-specific requirements where applicable.

This approach also facilitates efficient logistics, site organization and installation planning.

Installation Technology

Installation methodology is determined according to the structural geometry, building dimensions, site conditions, accessibility and project schedule.

Where site conditions permit, wheeled scaffolding and specialized erection techniques can be employed to reduce the requirement for conventional crane operations.

For suitable projects, the space frame can be progressively assembled at elevation, reducing the dependence on heavy lifting equipment.

This installation methodology can contribute to:

• Reduced erection time
• More efficient site organization
• Reduced heavy lifting requirements
• Improved installation control
• Optimized project scheduling
• More efficient use of labour and equipment

The integration of manufacturing and installation planning can significantly improve project execution and contribute to bringing facilities into operation at an earlier stage.

From Engineering to Installation

UZAY SYSTEM manages projects through an integrated workflow designed to maintain continuity between design, production and site execution.

Engineering → Structural Design → Analysis → Detailing → Manufacturing → Quality Control → Transportation → Installation → Site Execution → Project Completion

Each stage is coordinated with the following stage to minimize technical conflicts, improve constructability and maintain control over project requirements.

This integrated process enables us to respond effectively to complex geometries, large spans, demanding site conditions and project-specific architectural requirements.

Each project is evaluated individually according to its structural, architectural, functional and operational requirements.

Turnkey Industrial Building Solutions

In addition to structural systems, UZAY SYSTEM provides integrated solutions for industrial buildings.

Depending on project scope, our services can incorporate:

Infrastructure → Reinforced Concrete → Structural Steel → Space Frame → Roofing → Façade → Installation → Project Completion

This integrated approach enables different construction disciplines to be coordinated under a common project execution strategy.

Quality, Precision and Project Coordination

Successful structural projects require more than manufacturing capability. They require accurate engineering, precise detailing, controlled production, effective logistics and disciplined site execution.

UZAY SYSTEM therefore approaches every project through the combined principles of:

Engineering • Quality • Precision • Coordination • Efficiency

From the initial design stage to final installation, technical requirements are continuously evaluated to ensure that the structural system, manufactured components and site application remain consistent with the project objectives.

Experience and Continuous Development

The development of modern space frame and steel structures requires continuous advancement in engineering methods, structural analysis, manufacturing technology and installation techniques.

UZAY SYSTEM combines accumulated industry experience with contemporary engineering practices and production technologies to develop structural solutions for projects of varying scale and complexity.

Our approach is based on a long-term understanding of structural systems and on continuously improving the relationship between design, manufacturing and construction.

Our Approach

UZAY SYSTEM is committed to developing solutions that are:

Engineered for Performance
Designed for Constructability
Manufactured with Precision
Installed with Control

From concept to completion, our goal is to provide an integrated technical service that delivers reliable and efficient structural solutions.
