Steel beam design London – the service we offer
If you require structural beams, often known as RSJ’s or Universal Beams (UB’s), a single steel beam or an entire fabricated and erected steel box frame, we can design, supply and install any structural steel product.
Steel Beams are ideal for loft conversions, home extensions or opening up walls to make space for a new kitchen lounge, but they must be designed correctly!
Benefits of our steel beam design service
Being mindful that our steel beams will eventually hold up structures where people live and work, their is zero room for getting steel beam designs wrong. This can have life threatening consequences if steel beams are incorrectly designed
Our steel beam design process:
structural design plan
We follow industry standards in designing and specifying steel beams for our customers.
Heres our steel beam design process in simple steps:
1 – Initial site visit and survey. We prepare an outline sketch with dimensions
2 – Calculate the influence area of the steel beam.
3 – Calculate the physical loads affecting on the steel beam
4 – Measure the Length of the steel beam
5 – Calculate the maximum bending moment displaced across the steel beam
6 – Calculate the section modulus required for a steel I beam
7 – Select the correct steel I beam section from a steel sizing matrix
8 – Check the Shear of the steel beam
9 – Check the deflection of the steel beam
Generally, we over specify the size of our steel beams during the design stage. This is common practise to ensure safety and stability of the super structure surrounding the steel beam(s).
Following these processes we are confident that we can design structural steel beams to carry safe working loads in your living or workspace.
