Do I have to shutter the pre-cast beam? Only minimal shuttering may be requires, to close open ends.

Does the beam price include the reinforcing steel? The beam price includes the steel specified by the appointed engineer.

Do I need to do any steel fixing? The steel is cast into place in the beam; however, there may be some steel required

Do I have to prop the beam during installation? Yes, we recommend props at 1.8/2 metre centre.

What is the maximum width, height and length that can be manufactured? There is no maximum width; we can manufacture a 600mm deep beam reaching a span of 7 metre. For spans greater than 7 metre, we split the beam along the length.

What strength (Mpa) concrete is required when pouring the concrete? Generally, 25Mpa concrete is required unless the engineer specifies otherwise.

Why is the system eco-friendly? Being lighter, the system is less invasive on resources. In fact, the system reduces waste, with minimal timber required during installation. It is also labour intensive, ensuring the employability of unskilled labour.
