ModuSec construction options - steelworks

As discussed, ceilings can span up to 6m without additional support (3.8m for High Security options). For rooms with spans greater than this we can support off the existing structure or alternatively design, manufacture and install independent steelwork - for external and internal projects.

We work with clients to design a structure to meet the particular needs of a project, minimising the impact of columns to the layout of the space. The initial aim is always to have a space with 'no internal columns'. However, for larger spans with limited height, this is not always possible, due to the size of steels or trusses required. It is often more cost effective to include some internal columns – strategically placing them within rack runs to maximise the rack capacity of the space. We try to restrict column sizes for internal rooms to just 100mm square (130mm square with fire protection cladding). Most commonly, we use 152 x 152 RSJ/UB clad beams to support ceilings from underneath. This offers optimum security and sealing against flood risk – as all joints can be double sealed above – if access is available. Ceilings can alternatively be supported below beams via our suspension 'top hat' system.

Note that we can also design and build 2 storey structures with 'double stack' rack halls or for M & E services above. For external structures, almost any style of roof can be accommodated. All designs are by qualified structural engineers who can provide clients with the necessary calculations and documentation for Building Control approval.
