Specifications

C4 Beams: Pre-stressed beams with a 4’ pitch, capable of spanning up to 36m. They are ideal for flexible building designs with fewer columns, reducing foundation requirements and maintenance costs.
Grid Jumper Beams: Act as transfer beams, reducing the need for columns and foundations. They can support C4 beams on each side if needed.
Gutter Beams: Span between C4 beams, providing structural ties and a clean fascia line. They can be pre-stressed or reinforced and include drainage connections.

Procedures
The manufacturing process involves casting beams vertically in steel molds with automated hydration and vibration, ensuring a fair-faced finish. Installation details include connection specifics for roof beams, columns, and gutter systems.

Recommendations
For buildings exceeding 60m in length, expansion joints with double columns are recommended. Mezzanine levels can be incorporated using additional products like wall panels and stairs.

Benefits

Reduced column and foundation requirements due to long-span capabilities.
Increased design flexibility and decreased maintenance costs.
Minimized hygiene ledges, beneficial for industries requiring high cleanliness standards.
