Services
Metfloor Metal Decking
We supply and install CMF Metfloor profiles (55, 60, 80) for suspended slab construction. These shallow decks offer exceptional spanning capabilities with reduced concrete usage. Our systems incorporate fire-resistant designs and acoustic insulation, suitable for commercial and industrial buildings. The Magnelis-coated options provide enhanced corrosion protection for demanding environments.
Shear Stud Welding
Our certified teams provide precision shear stud welding for composite steel-concrete structures. Using advanced equipment, we ensure optimal positioning for structural integrity. This service enhances load distribution in flooring systems, meeting strict construction standards while reducing on-site verification requirements.
Safety Netting
We design and install safety netting systems compliant with FASET standards. Our directly controlled teams erect fall arrest solutions for construction sites, ensuring worker safety during high-level operations. Nets are integrated with decking installations to create secure working platforms.
Concrete Pouring
We supply and pour concrete slabs onto metal decking systems, completing composite flooring solutions. Our process ensures even distribution and optimal bonding with decking profiles. This service includes reinforcement placement and finishing, delivering durable structural elements for multi-storey buildings.
CAD Detailing
Our in-house drawing office utilises CAD and TEKLA software for precise decking system designs. We create detailed installation plans and structural calculations, incorporating load spans and fire performance data. This digital approach ensures accuracy in complex projects and seamless integration with client specifications.
