This steel weighs a fraction of what it should ๐ชถ
The frame going up here holds a roof close to 4 basketball courts in size, on beams far lighter than the job would normally call for.
Meet ILB.
A traditional steel beam is solid, and heavy. ILB rethinks what a beam is - using shape (not bulk) to carry the load.
It's the same reason cardboard is so strong for how light it is: shape the middle, and you get serious strength out of barely any material.
The result is a beam that's lighter, just as strong, and able to span much further. Fully engineered, and a direct replacement for traditional structural steel.
What that means on site:
โ More open buildings, with fewer columns in the way
โ Less steel to make, to truck, and to lift
โ Builds that go up faster, and safer
All of it fabricated by Stripes ๐๏ธ
This is what happens when you stop accepting how things have always been built - and engineer for what's next.
