Truedek’s Steel Decking System Saves Time And Money

Announcement posted by Truedek- Premier Steel Technologies 13 Feb 2017

Premier Steel Technologies has established itself as a creator of custom-built permanent formwork while keeping up with the highest levels of quality, safety and efficiency. Truedek’s steel decking system offers flexibility in both design and construction. Construction differs according to the configuration and depending on span, load and fire rating requirements.

The Truedek steel decking system has many benefits. It comprises a rigid and robust truss panel and an optional flat infill panel offering a 7 plus metre un-propped spanning capacity, which is significantly longer than other decking systems. Other features include pre-cambering to eliminate wet concrete deflection and produce a truly flat soffit; thinner slabs that reduce concrete volume and steel reinforcement and accommodation of prestressing cables.

The advantages of Truedek’s steel decking system include nominal truss and infill panel width of 250mm for ease of handling and faster installation, predictable formwork costs and availability in varying truss heights of 90, 110, 140 and 160mm.

Truedek panels help save time and money since they do not require propping or back propping, with the exception of unsupported edges reducing the labour required for installation. This reduces cycle time drastically. It also reduces cutting requirements, material scrap and wastage, as Truedek is manufactured according to the required site lengths.

Moreover, their pre-cambered panels remove dead load sag, prevents concrete ponding and creates a truly flat soffit so that an accurate estimation of concrete volume and speedier, simpler fit outs can be made. Besides this, the fitting out can commence the day after pour, reducing onsite labour requirements and minimising cycle time. Truedek is now recognised as one of the safest and most practical concrete formwork systems available.

Premier Steel Technologies has been engaged in equipment design and new developments for many years. They have a highly experienced team with in-depth understanding of the unique challenges faced by many different industries, including construction. Their expertise has benefited countless industries through their precise and well-tailored machinery solutions.
