4. Design Technology Specifications and Capabilities -Roof beam pitch 7 degrees 7 minutes (i.e. 1 in 8) -Span Clear span capabilities are available up to 40m approx. - Bay width 6.0m is a recommended economic spacing of frames. - Eaves height 3.0 to 13.0 approx - Fire Resistance of 1-4 hours -Cladding is variable from block work to metal sheeting Concast – The G-Frame is a precast concrete structural frame which works similarly to a Steel Portal Frame structure. Longitudinal support is be gained through the use of steel purlins or gurts.

5. All information found at www.concast.ie Concast G-frame Benefits -Larger span capabilities, allowing increased design flexibility. -Competitive pricing -Hygiene - ledges where dust and dirt collects can be minimised, which is ideal for high precision industries (such as pharmaceutical, computer or food processing facilities). -Inbuilt fire ratings avoid additional board or sprayed protection. -Factory production, quality checks prior to arriving on site. -Speed of erection. -Decreased maintenance costs – the frame is virtually maintenance free. -Clean finish. -Overhead gantry cranes – supports for overhead gantries can be provided in columns if requested at design stage.
