Custom Steel Beam Services
RSJ beams made to order provide solutions for custom construction projects. These beams are made to your specifications, so they fit and will perform as intended in place, whether a residential, commercial or industrial application.
They can not only create a structurally robust design based on specific loading requirements, but they also help to support the construction process by minimising on-site modification and material waste, ultimately saving time and costs.
Custom steel beams have unparalleled design possibilities and allow for a much wider range without building constraints of standard beam sizes. They also have a wide range of steel fabricating options to meet rigid and exact specifications. Each beam is manufactured to necessary quality standards and is ultimately made to last.
The process from the first consultation to the delivery as well as the specifications is handled professionally and creates a series of custom steel beams that will be readily integrated to any project, acting to facilitate efficiency and performance from day one.
What Are Universal Steel Beams?
Universal steel beams, also known as builders beams, H-beams, I-beams, or R.S.J.’s, are integral to any construction project.
These steel beams are shaped with an I- or H-shaped profile, making them a good option for construction of large projects because they combine strength, rigidity and size.
You will find a steel beam used in any construction project from large buildings, to civil engineering works, to renovations for floor plans or load bearing walls.
They work extremely well to carry incredibly heavy weights, meaning they are perfect to prop buildings within a large range of constructions or developments.
Stability is critical to the quality of a building, that is why here at Southend Steels, we will fabricate our steel to the required industry standards i.e. EN10025.
Beams are the very backbone to the stability of a building, supporting and spreading the load. With the highest quality of steel beams used you can be assured of the sustainability and safety of any building.
Steel Beams for Residential Construction
Use our steel beams for residential construction projects across the UK. From small family homes to multi-storey buildings, Southend Steels manufactures various steel beams in different sizes and thicknesses, made for almost any structural steel project.
If you’re in need of bulk steel beams, simply get in touch. We will be more than happy to help, no matter the circumstance.
FAQs
What features do steel beams have?
Universal Beams are renowned for their robust strength and durability, making them exceptionally efficient at bearing heavy loads. They are frequently employed to form the structural framework of buildings, providing essential support and stability.
How are steel beams constructed?
Universal Beams, or I-beams, are typically crafted from structural steel. While steel is the most common material, alternatives such as aluminium can also be used in the manufacturing process.
Can steel beams serve as columns?
Universal steel beams and universal steel columns serve distinct purposes due to their unique properties. Universal Beams excel at carrying tension loads and are suitable for horizontal applications like roof rafters or floor joists.
Universal Columns are better suited for compression loads, making them ideal for vertical applications such as bridges or walls. Selecting the appropriate beam type is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and preventing potential failures.
What are steel beams used for?
Steel beams are primarily used in construction to support loads in buildings, bridges, and other structures. They provide strength and stability due to their high load-bearing capacity.
What are the common grades of steel used for beams?
Common grades include ASTM A36, ASTM A992, and ASTM A572. Each grade has specific mechanical properties and chemical composition suited to different applications.
What is the difference between an I-beam and an H-beam?
An I-beam has a narrower flange and is typically lighter, making it suitable for applications where weight is a concern. An H-beam has wider flanges and a thicker web, providing greater strength and load-bearing capacity.
