The K-Span, a self-contained manufacturing factory on wheels, is capable of fabricating and assembling an entire building at the construction site. The high speed of construction and the patented process of seaming panels allow a small crew of workers to assemble a building in as little as a single day. Construction time is shortened, since ABM steel buildings require no screws, bolts, fasteners, beams, trusses or columns.
K-Span costs 40 to 60 percent less than labour-intensive conventional construction or prefabricated buildings. The ABM state-of-the-art technology lowers cost by reducing the crew and by eliminating dependency on architects or engineers. With the ABM’s patented seaming machine, there is no need for nuts, bolts or screws. This is a feasible solution allowed for high efficiency in the manufacture of the A.B.M. Buildings through a great reduction in production time, thus saving valuable time and money.
