Cellular Beam Application Technology.

The structural efficiency and economy of cellular roof beams in clear span structures makes them eminently suitable for use in sports facilities. The beams are lighter than plain beams and much less costly than lattice beams.

Cellular beams have been used in over half the stadia developed in the UK since the early 1990’s. Whether for massive spans in major stadia such as the revolutionary Galpharm Stadium, Chelsea FC and Hull KC Stadium, or in smaller stadia such as Burton Albion FC and The Stoop at Harlequins RFC, cellular beams were chosen for their economy, appearance, or in most cases, both. These are usually formed using tapered cellular beams. Extreme cantilevers can be achieved with lightweight and economical designs. (Click here for more information on tapered beams).
