Cellular Beams help to create buildings that use less steel and minimize the lifetime costs and environmental burdens associated with construction.

Reduced use of raw steel

  • Cellular Beams use 25 - 50% less steel that ordinary plain beams

    25-50% lighter loads to transport

Minimum Lifetime costs or Environmental Burden

The  most important factor by far in the longevity of multi-storey buildings is maximizing the flexibility of layout for future tenants. Cellular floor beams produce column-free, long span floors at the same overall costs as the short spans of the 1980s. Today's clear span structures will not be demolished due to lack of flexibility.

Furthermore, cellular beams allow the adoption of circular ducting without increasing the overall depth of construction. Circular ducting is up to three times more energy efficient than rectangular ducting. (See Technical Support)

Recycling of Steel

Local and imported steels all contain recycled steel. All the steel waste generated in our production facilities is recycled.
