Hospitals:
Cellular Beam Application Technology.

See Also: Hospitals Case Studies

A rapidly growing area of use for Cellular floor beams is in hospital construction.
The beams provide clear spans and massive flexibility for service integration within any floor depth specified by the client.

	For operating theatres there is also a requirement for very a high quality dynamic response. Composite asymmetric Cellular Beams have the ideal weight distribution to achieve such a response
	Westok and the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) have physically tested clear-span hospital floors built using Cellular Beams. In all tests the Measured Response Factors surpassed the HTM2045 requirement of R = 1, suitable for Operating Theatres. Moreover the clear-span floors tested performed better than short-span frames tested elsewhere.
