The SGBS
FEATURES & BENEFITS

OVERVIEW

The SGBS is the result of combining materials long proven within the industry.

  • The Building Superstructure Design and Specification Process follows established methods and practices applicable to competitive bid or design-build procurement.

  • A registered professional engineer is engaged to design the superstructure according to customary practices.

  • Superstructure design follows typical AISC steel design criteria including lateral load resistance.

  • Steel fabricators can provide the entire steel frame superstructure package including all of the SGBS Intl. (SMART GREEN BUILDING SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL) components.

  • The EnviroBeam™ is fabricated from a standard rolled wide flange section and flat bar. Fabrication can be self-performed by steel fabricators or they can outsource fabrication of the EnviroBeam™

  • The steel erector performs the assembly and erection process for the entire steel and precast superstructure.

  • Commonly used precast, prestressed hollow core slabs are available from many precast producers.

CHARACTERISTICS

The SGBS offers the combined advantages of structural steel and flat plate concrete.

  • Lightweight structural system.

  • Composite floor or roof slab assembly.

  • Used in combination with a steel frame.

  • Choice of column types and perimeter spandrel details.

  • Non-combustible construction.

  • meets building code fire rating.

  • Utilizes conventional structural steel or concrete lateral load resistance.

  • The underside of slabs is free of obstructions to accommodate ductwork and piping.

  • The underside of slabs can become finished ceilings.

  • Provides faster access to the work of other trades.

  • Substantial reduction in on-site waste and debris.

  • The system is available competitively from customary sources.

  • More accurate control of building dimensions & tolerances.

  • It lends itself to exterior curtain wall systems to speed up the building enclosure.

  • 100% factory fabricated and engineered components (steel beams & precast slab units).

FEATURES & BENEFITS

The SGBS can meet specific architectural, structural and scheduling requirements.

  • 8″ or 10″ floor depths maximize unit floor to ceiling height while minimizing the height of the building.

  • Super-fast structure and building completion.

  • Reduced building structure weight.

  • Floor plan design flexibility.

  • Limited weather impact (including cold climates).

  • Structure assembly is one process, one source (Ironworkers).

  • Integrates well with retail and parking areas below.

  • Meets AISC tolerance standards.

  • Meets fire code ratings using UL K912.

  • Meets required sound (STC) ratings.

  • Limited on-site labor.

  • Reduced on-site overhead costs.

  • Eliminates/reduces soffits.

  • Factory-made quality components.
