ICF(Insulated Concrete Form) Bracing
Pre-Engineered Steel Truss Offering Rapid Installation for Warehouse and Production Halls
How Pre-Engineering Works – The Science of Speed
The speed of our system isn't magic – it's systematic engineering:
• Integrated system design – designed as a complete system, not individual members. Every component – chords, webs, connections, and bracing – is optimised to work together, eliminating trial-and-error adjustments.
• CNC precision manufacturing – all fabrication performed on CNC equipment in our controlled workshop. Members are cut to exact lengths, holes drilled to AISC/EN tolerances (±1.5mm), ensuring components fit perfectly the first time.
• Modular segments – trusses are designed in segments for efficient transport and quick assembly.
• Material efficiency – pre-engineered systems consistently require less steel than conventional buildings – lighter components, easier handling, faster erection.
Built for Warehouses and Production Halls
Warehouses and production halls share critical requirements that our pre-engineered truss addresses directly:
• Column-free interiors – the triangular lattice configuration enables spans customised to your project without intermediate columns, creating open, unobstructed floor space for high-bay racking and flexible equipment layouts.
• High strength-to-weight ratio – delivers exceptional load capacity with minimal self-weight, offering significant steel savings compared to conventional systems – reducing material costs, foundation requirements, and handling complexity.
• Multiple configurations – Warren, Pratt, Howe, or custom lattice – allowing you to achieve the optimal balance of structural efficiency and architectural requirements.
• Future adaptability – the pre-engineered approach allows for simple end-bay extensions – your facility can expand without major structural modifications.
Custom-Engineered to Your Project
Every warehouse and production hall has unique requirements. We custom-engineer each truss to match your specifications. What we customise: span length, roof slope, column spacing; dead, live, snow, wind, and seismic loads; truss type – Warren, Pratt, Howe, or custom lattice; member sections – H-beams, channels, angles, or tubes; connection details – bolted field connections preferred; surface treatment – shop primer or hot-dip galvanized. Engineering deliverables: 3D models (Tekla Structures / STAAD Pro), detailed shop drawings with dimensioned members, erection plans with step-by-step assembly sequence, connection details for field bolting, and material take-offs and lifting plans.
Fabrication – Quality Before Site Arrival
All fabrication occurs in our ISO 9001-certified facility, ensuring consistent quality regardless of weather or site conditions. CNC cutting & drilling ensure exact member lengths and accurate bolt hole positions – eliminating on-site rework. Jig-set assembly maintains consistent geometry across all trusses. Certified welding is performed by EN ISO 9606-1 certified welders using approved WPS (SMAW/GMAW/SAW). Inspection & testing includes dimensional verification against shop drawings, visual inspection of all welds, NDT (UT/MT) on critical joints as required, and coating thickness verification. Trial assembly is available for complex projects to verify fit before shipment.
Quality Assurance – Built-In Reliability
We maintain a comprehensive quality system that ensures reliability at every stage:
• Full material traceability – heat numbers linked to Mill Test Certificates for every component
• Certified welders and procedures – WPS/PQR documentation available for review
• In-process inspection – checks at every fabrication stage, from cutting to packing
• Third-party inspection welcome – SGS, BV, TÜV, or your specified inspector at any stage
• Complete documentation – MTCs, NDT reports, dimensional records, and as-built drawings provided with every shipment
