Steel structures and metal frameworks in Mauritius

Y²M Co. Ltd designs and erects steel structures for industrial, commercial buildings and sports complexes in Mauritius. Registered with the CIA as a Building Contractor (ref. CT/BW/L/H-01663) and Civil Contractor (ref. CT/CE/L/H-01684), our company specialises in composite structures combining reinforced concrete and steel framing.

Under the direction of a civil engineer with over 25 years of experience, our team works on large-span structures requiring rigorous technical coordination between the concrete and steel packages.

Our services in metal framing

  • Erection of steel frames and large-span metal structures
  • CIS (Corrugated Iron Sheeting) roofing and cladding
  • Mixed structures: steel frame fixed to reinforced concrete walls
  • Replacement of roofing and cladding on existing buildings
  • Demolition and reconstruction of damaged steel structures

Mixed structures of reinforced concrete and steel

For buildings requiring large open spaces without intermediate columns, we construct combined structures where reinforced concrete load-bearing walls support a steel frame. This technique allows us to cover large areas while maintaining the strength of the reinforced concrete at the base.

  • Load-bearing reinforced concrete walls up to 3 m high
  • Steel frame from 3m to 10m and more depending on the project
  • CIS sheet metal roofing and facade with insulation if necessary
  • Anti-corrosion treatment adapted to the Mauritian tropical climate

Supplementary works

Our steel frame projects often include ancillary reinforced concrete structures and outdoor amenities to deliver a complete and functional website.

What type of structure should be chosen for an industrial building in Mauritius?
The composite reinforced concrete and steel frame structure is the most common solution for large buildings in Mauritius. Reinforced concrete load-bearing walls provide structural strength in the lower section, while the steel frame spans large areas without intermediate columns. The design is validated by a certified civil engineer.
A properly dimensioned roof structure incorporates the cyclonic wind loads stipulated by Mauritian standards. CIS roof fixings are designed to withstand gusts. Y²M Co. Ltd operates under the supervision of a civil engineer with 25 years of experience in tropical zones.
Reinforced concrete is preferred for load-bearing walls and slabs. Steel framing allows for large spans without intermediate supports, reduces construction time, and lowers the load on the foundations. The two techniques are regularly combined in Y²M Co. Ltd. projects.
The cost of a steel structure depends on the span, height, and type of CIS roofing. Y²M Co. Ltd provides a free quote based on project plans or a site visit. Contact us at (+230) 455 1029.
