The versatility of FreeSpan™ beams is demonstrated by its use across an extremely wide spectrum of building types, sizes and specialized functions. Project owners benefit from buildings that perform with greater space efficiency, unfettered by cost and performance limitations imposed by other construction methods. For parking garages, hospitals and most any project where space is at a premium, the beam offers a structurally lean and low profile with an open, airy, and aesthetic appeal. In addition, the beam is more space-efficient and cost-efficient than concrete, making it possible to design wider bays with refreshingly creative form and function at lower costs. And there are far fewer impediments to the trade professionals who integrate the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire suppression systems. Erectors find that FreeSpan™ beams erect faster than concrete and more easily. Structural engineers now have the means to reduce or eliminate traditionally accepted project costs. Applicability of the products and the accuracy of the data should be assessed by a licensed professional engineer or architect to determine the suitability for the intended application.Ĭastellated and Cellular Beams Freedom of designįreeSpan™ castellated and cellular beams bring you more options for greater structural design freedom and the means to increase project performance, while reducing project costs.Īrchitects now have the means to create better-designed spaces.

LIABILITY STATEMENT The data published in this brochure has been developed using recognized engineering principles and is intended for general information only. Customized beams are engineered to address unique project needs, including welded infill sections for special connection points. Our highly efficient manufacturing facilities can produce 90-foot castellated beam sections. The split halves are then offset and welded back together to create a beam that is the same weight, but is now deeper, stronger, and ideally suited for long span applications. During the castellated beam production process, a solid steel beam forged from recycled steel is cut in half lengthways, using automated plasma torch cutting. 24ĪISC certified manufacturing New Millennium manufactures FreeSpan™ castellated and cellular beams right here in the USA at our production facility in Continental, Ohio.
