Concast Precast Ltd Industrial Frame - Warehouse Industrial Warehouses are generally designed using a beam and column arrangement. The beams in these structures are often required to be long span, to create large open plan areas for storage or manufacturing. To cater for these long spans, Concast us it’s C4 beam. This is a pre-stressed roof beam with a 4’ pitch, which are available at spans of up to 36 m, and generally at bays of 6 m. Multiple spans can be accommodated using our valley detail (as shown on page 3). It is recommended that expansion joints (i.e. double columns) should be used where...
