Concast’s C4 Beam is a pre-stressed beam with a 4’ pitch, suited for ‘A’ frame buildings such as typical portal frame buildings, which can economically achieve clear spans of up to 36m. The C4 is ideal for buildings which require a high degree of flexibility, with single or multiple bays.
Benefits: Less columns are required due to the longer bays, which also decreases the foundations requirements. Large clear span capabilities allowing increased design flexibility Columns can be designed to support overhead gantry cranes. Decreased maintenance costs as the frame is virtually maintenance free. Hygiene
ledges where dust and dirt congregates are minimised, which is ideal
for high precision industries such as food processing or high
technology plants.
Manufacture: The beams are cast vertically in a steel mould, with automated hydration and vibration. This process provides a fair faced finish on both sides of the unit.
