LONG SPAN LATTICE BEAMS

Lattice beams provide greater innovation in design buildability and greater ease and safety to installation teams. They provide a greater strength to weight ratio than traditional beams with the added aesthetic benefit allowing services to pass through the web of the lattice saving key floor to ceiling height.

BEAM DESIGN

Gorge are specialist design engineering business that understand the challenges faced by architects, engineers and of coordinating between disciplines, and as such its own expert design team can assist with innovative design solutions to solve buildability problems and help enhance the appearance of building.

Our experienced engineers can produce complete profiles of all types of lattice beams to client requirements.


ARCHITECTURAL INNOVATION

Lattice beams provide greater flexibility to designers to enhance internal space due to the long spans, up to 40 meters, that can be accomplished without the need for intermediate column supports.

BUILDABILITY

Due to their strength to weight ratio lattice beams can be upto 50% lighter. This simplifies and accelerates on-site installation and reduces H&S risks to erection personnel.

Gorge’s lattice beams are a tailored design especially for your project and can be fabricated to suit the following applications listed below.

PARALLEL LATTICE BEAMS

Our parallel beam can be used with secondary C-sections to support a suspended ceiling as it provides the ability to run split-level ducting through the lattice without any loss of internal headroom. A further benefit is that future changes to the building services can easily be accommodated by running piping or ducting through the lattice.


PARALLEL PITCHED BEAM

Parallel pitched beams are suitable for all types of duo – pitched roof construction. They provide superior headroom over an above that of a pitched steel truss.



CURVED LATTICE BEAMS

Gorge can provide curved lattice beams to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a roof profile.

LATTICE BEAMS SURFACE FINISHES

All Lattice beams are supplied shot blast and are applied with an epoxy zinc phosphate primer as standard.

Additional options for galvanising and painting to standard RAL colours can also be accommodated.
