Multichannel4 has an extensive range of hole and notching options providing a choice of connection details in both the flange and web.
A selection of hole size and shapes is available from 7.9mm through to 150mm diameter.
Multichannel4 will widen the applications for which the Multichannel range can be used including wind posts and secondary support members.
Significant savings can be achieved when adopting Multichannel4 as a substitute to some labour intensive steelwork elements.
Multichannel4 is the result of a GBP4 million investment in highly innovative and flexible production lines at the Sherburn site in North Yorkshire.
Sales and Marketing Manager, Ian Hodgson explained "Site programmes are constantly under pressure and the size, shape and geometry of steelwork structures is becoming increasingly complex".
"We have developed Multichannel4 to provide designers and steelwork contractors with cost effective and speedy structural solutions".
The range is available in section depths of 175mm to 450mm.
No special finishes are required, as all sections are pre-galvanised and can be supplied direct to site as single components or assemblies.
A technical handbook on the new Multichannel4 is available from the Kingspan.
