LOW FLOOR-TO-FLOOR HEIGHTS WITH STRUCTURAL STEEL
THE SGBS INTRODUCTION
Mid to high rise residential structures have traditionally used a cast in place reinforced concrete structural system which offers such benefits as low floor to floor height and fireproof construction. With similar benefits, low to mid rise buildings often utilize bearing wall systems supporting precast slabs. These structural systems are time consuming, weather sensitive and labor intensive.
SGBS set out to develop a more efficient structural steel based framing system for mid and high rise residential construction.
APPLICATION
UTILIZING PROVEN MATERIALS THAT HAVE LONG BEEN USED BY THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, THE SGBS PROVIDES A COST-EFFECTIVE LOW FLOOR TO FLOOR HEIGHT SOLUTION FOR MID AND HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION.
The SGBS (SMART GREEN BUILDING SYSTEMS) in combination with a structural steel frame offers a complete steel and concrete superstructure. It is ideal for use in mid to high-rise residential structures such as hotels, student housing, apartments, senior housing and condominiums.
The SGBS (SMART GREEN BUILDING SYSTEMS) greatly improves construction operations and the ability to meet critical deadlines. Unlike cast-in-place concrete structures, the SGBS Intl. system uses off site prefabricated components that are quickly erected on site by one trade even in cold weather (Ironworkers).
AVAILABILITY
THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM, STRUCTURAL STEEL (INCLUDING THE EnviroBeam™) AND PRECAST HOLLOW CORE SLABS, CAN BE MANUFACTURED AND SUPPLIED BY MANY SUBCONTRACTORS GUARANTEEING THE OWNER COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT OF THE BUILDING'S SUPERSTRUCTURE.
With practically an unlimited source of supply, the EnviroBeam™ is manufactured by your local steel fabricators as part of a complete structural steel package.
Our list of "System Fabricators" consists of companies who have completed or bid on projects that utilized the SGBS system technology, and serves as a resource for builder's who wish to obtain pricing in their market.
