A fire-rated structural beam for supporting riser walls that removes the need for secondary steel beams and the subsequent cladding works for fire protection.
The Comtec WallBeam is a multi-functional structural element designed to support fire-resisting partition walls, retain walls from below, and incorporate deflection head details. It can be used as part of an AlphaRiser unit or as a standalone component fixed directly to walls or floors.
System integration:
WallBeam is a innovative structural support system. This support beam that gives more than 120 minutes of vertical and horizontal fire stopping and provides a suitable product for supporting riser partition walls.
Replaces the need for the use of secondary steel beams which require subsequent fireproofing works to achieve compliance. This is costly, labour intensive and brings an additional layer of risks to the construction project from working at height, coordination of trades, rework because of site damage and potential programme delays.
The design incorporates the AlphaRiser channel profile and therefore enables full compatibility with the GRP support joists of lateral accommodation of additional WallBeams.
