LOW FLOOR TO FLOOR HEIGHTS WITH STRUCTURAL STEEL

THE GIRDER-SLAB® SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

Mid to high-rise residential structures have traditionally used a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structural system which offers such benefits as low floor to floor height and fireproof construction. With similar benefits, low to mid-rise buildings often utilize bearing wall systems supporting precast slabs. These structural systems are time consuming, weather sensitive and labor intensive. Girder-Slab Technologies, LLC set out to develop a more efficient structural steel based framing system for mid and high-rise residential construction.

APPLICATION

UTILIZING PROVEN MATERIALS THAT HAVE LONG BEEN USED BY THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, THE GIRDER-SLAB® SYSTEM PROVIDES A COST-EFFECTIVE LOW FLOOR TO FLOOR HEIGHT SOLUTION FOR MID AND HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION.

The GIRDER-SLAB® system in combination with a structural steel frame offers a complete steel and concrete superstructure. It is ideal for use in mid to high-rise residential structures such as hotels, student housing, apartments, senior housing and condominiums. The GIRDER-SLAB® system greatly improves construction operations and the ability to meet critical deadlines. Unlike cast-in-place concrete structures, the GIRDER-SLAB® system uses off site prefabricated components that are quickly erected on site by one trade even in cold weather (Ironworkers).

AVAILABILITY

THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM, STRUCTURAL STEEL (INCLUDING THE D-BEAM® GIRDER) AND PRECAST HOLLOW CORE SLABS, CAN BE MANUFACTURED AND SUPPLIED BY MANY SUBCONTRACTORS GUARANTEEING THE OWNER COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT OF THE BUILDING'S SUPERSTRUCTURE.

With practically an unlimited source of supply, the D-BEAM® girder is manufactured by your local steel fabricators as part of a complete structural steel package. Our list of "System Fabricators" consists of companies who have completed or bid on projects that utilized the GIRDER-SLAB® system technology, and serves as a resource for builder's who wish to obtain pricing in their market.
