Composite Lattice Beams
|
|
|
|
The Composite lattice beam is designed specifically for composite
floor construction where longer column free spans are required.
Lighter than alternative long span hot rolled steel beams the Composite lattice beam with
it's unique cold rolled top chord member with integral off-site pre welded shear
connector plates eliminate hot works created by on site stud welding.
The standard lattice beam open web configuration provides unprecedented flexibility for
the routing of M&E services. This includes the ability to cross over services within
the depth of the lattice beam, which can be more difficult to achieve with cellular steel beams.
Bespoke oversized rectangular openings can be designed, if required, to
offer even more flexibility, maintaining minimum floor zones to maximise floor to
ceiling heights or reduce the overall height of the building.
Taking advantage of new manufacturing processes for trapezoidal metal decking, that
enable a crushed end to be formed during the roll forming process, this innovative
feature eliminates the need for end caps to be installed on site. This benefit in
conjunction with the increased spanning capability of modern decks and lower concrete
usage all add up to a value engineered solution with significant cost and programme
savings.
