Cellular & Castellated Beams

 

Tranex Fabricators specialises in the fabrication of cellular and castellated beams, providing lightweight yet high-strength structural solutions for a variety of commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. These engineered beams are designed to maximise structural efficiency while reducing material usage, making them an ideal choice for modern construction.

 

What Are Cellular & Castellated Beams?

 

Cellular Beams – Steel beams with regularly spaced circular openings along the web, reducing weight while maintaining strength and allowing services (such as electrical conduits and HVAC ducts) to pass through.

Castellated Beams – Steel beams cut and reassembled to create a hexagonal web pattern, increasing depth and load capacity without significant additional weight.

 

Benefits of Cellular & Castellated Beams:

 

    Weight Reduction: Lighter than solid-web beams, reducing foundation loads and overall project cost.

    Increased Span: Enhanced strength-to-weight ratio allows for longer spans without additional supports.

    Service Integration: Web openings facilitate easy routing of mechanical and electrical services through the structure.

    Aesthetic Appeal: The open-web design can add visual interest in exposed architectural applications.

 

Our Capabilities:

 

    CNC plasma cutting for precise web opening patterns.

    Fabrication of custom beam profiles to meet engineering specifications.

    Compliance with relevant structural steel fabrication standards.

    Supply and delivery for both prefabricated beams and fully installed solutions.

 

By combining advanced fabrication technology with engineering expertise, Tranex delivers cellular and castellated beams that meet demanding structural requirements while contributing to cost-effective and efficient building designs.
