In capital projects where load integrity and spatial efficiency are key considerations, steel framing offers superior strength-to-weight ratios and design versatility. The design of bespoke steel framing systems transcends conventional construction, enabling column-free spans exceeding 60 metres, multi-storey industrial mezzanines supporting 10,000 kg/m² of live load, and millimetre-precise exposed building structures.
Advanced Engineering Principles for Frame Manufacturing
Seismic/wind optimisation: moment-resistant connections with an R=8 response correction factor can be used in resistance strut systems for distributing lateral forces.
Large-span solutions: casting of structural beams up to 1,200 mm deep, reducing deadweight by 40%.
Vibration control: tuned mass dampers integrated into the floor beams in accordance with ISO 10137.
Fire protection engineering: grades with intumescent coatings. The material can withstand a temperature of 1200°C for 120 minutes.
Material Selection:
High Performance Alloys: High speed steel with high yield strength tensile strength or weathering steel, etc. are used. For example, A992, A500 Gr C, etc.
Precision connection systems: CJP welded and sliding critical bolted connections with UT/RT testing.
Seismic energy dissipation devices: Architectural Exposed Steel Structure (AESS) connections.
Advanced fabrication and installation:
Specialist welding: GMAW, TIG, manual arc, resistance and laser welding.
Laser projection: High-precision assembly with ±1 mm alignment
Modular pre-assembly: 25-tonne shop-floor assembly support bracket.
Top-down installation: Self-climbing system for use in restricted locations.
Performance testing:
Structural testing: 200% of the required load capacity.
Dynamic analysis: ODS testing to determine resonance frequency.
Digital twin calibration: data for IoT dashboards with a sensor-embedded frame.
To date, we have provided specialist solutions to over 200 countries and territories. As a Structural Innovation Partner, we offer frame designs that exceed minimum code requirements and address a range of potential constraints. Our designs also have the capacity to embed metering points for lifelong deformation monitoring.
