Description
Our presenter will be discussing a pre-engineered structural steel clamping system that enables the user to connect secondary steel to primary steel without the need to site drill or weld. This can be used for secondary support applications. Including, pipe supports, equipment supports or tray supports. Any type or size of steel can be connected providing a permanent connection with guaranteed load capabilities greater than 50,000 lbs including a safety factor of 5:1.
Topics of discussion:
- Features and benefits of pre-engineered clamp connections vs. conventional connections.
- Markets and clients utilizing pre-engineered connections.
- How to design a connection using LNA Solutions’ BeamClamp.
- Cost analysis of BeamClamp / BoxBolt vs. conventional connection.
- Applications of LNA Solutions connections, i.e. pipe supports.
- No site drilling or welding required.
- Steelwork is not weakened.
- Site adjustments easily made.
- Protective coatings remain intact.
- No “Hot Work”
- Cuts installation and labor costs substantially.
