Summary
Maxispan Steel Building Frames is a South Australian based fabricator that supplies local builders and developers with fully engineered steel framing solutions. Their product range includes wall frames, roof trusses, floor joists and most recently, flooring cassettes, which are all made from TRUECORE® steel.
Maxispan’s floor cassette system consists of open web floor trusses made from TRUECORE® steel, particleboard and wet area floor sheeting. The floor cassettes are manufactured and preassembled off-site in Maxispan’s outer-Adelaide factory. Each floor cassette system is created to an optimum size based on the individual building’s floor area and transport restrictions. The finished floor area for each cassette typically ends up being between 18m2 to 22m2.
Key Benefits Delivered
Efficiency
Maxispan’s wall frames are made from TRUECORE® steel and come with recessed fixings and pre-punched service holes. This makes it more efficient for follow-on trades such as plumbing, data and electrical services.
Due to the off-site prefabrication of the frames, fewer trades are required on-site which contributes to a fast and highly efficient installation.
The trial installation of the floor cassette system resulted in substantial on-site time savings with fewer people on-site and for shorter periods of time.
With the floor cassettes being manufactured in a controlled environment, there are no delays due to weather.
Each floor cassette is fitted with lifting lugs to help ensure the safe and efficient lifting from the truck to the top of the wall frames on-site. In most instances, truck or trailer mounted HIAB cranes can be used which negates the need for a separate crane to be organised.
