A Fabsec beam is a cellular beam fabricated out of plate which has been analysed and designed within the FBEAM software and procured from one of our licensed fabricators. This gives both the specifying engineer and the client the confidence that the beam is designed and produced in accordance with industry leading standards.

Our innovative product range and design software enables clients and their professional teams to achieve enhanced project economy, swifter construction and optimised design.

This is why FABSEC® beams and our revolutionary FBEAM® software is used on prestigious construction projects across the UK. Our track record of success has been achieved through a clear understanding of structural steelwork engineering demands and commercial realities. This insight ensures we will continue to lead the industry in thinking through new product development and so enable building owners and their advisers to realise even greater levels of project performance and efficiency.

FABSEC® Products

Steel designers can design both FABSEC® beams at ambient temperature condition and FIREBEAM® in the fire condition. Web infills are never required and good design can eliminate the need for any stiffeners which creates highly economical solutions.

The primary applications for FABSEC® beams are for long span composite and non-composite construction, which give fewer columns and enhanced architectural freedom.

These solutions are used in many sectors of the construction industry including offices, hotels, retail parks, hospitals, car parks and warehouses.

FIREBEAM® has been tested exhaustively at Exova Warringtonfire in a three year programme of loaded, coated, composite fire tests.

FABSEC Software

FABSEC focuses on making our software as user-friendly as possible for the steel designer while offering market-leading optimised designs for FABSEC® cellular beams with unrivalled cell geometry and location. The result is free UK FBEAM® that provide the most efficient cellular beam design solution in seconds.

FBEAM® is easy to use and constantly under development to introduce new technology giving major time and cost savings for designers and developers of steel framed buildings. FBEAM® can design composite and non-composite plain and cellular beams, steel designers can design FABSEC® beams at ambient temperature conditions, they can be symmetrical and asymmetric with a wide combination in almost any arrangement and are simple to design. FBEAM® can handle complex loading arrangements and a variety of different floor types in helping achieve project economy, swifter construction and optimised design.

FIREBEAM® incorporates the fire engineering module which is a state of the art technology solution fusing the latest optimisation and coating technology to provide the UK’s only integrated solution for optimised fire-engineered beam designs. This software now offers steel designers’ the ability to design their FIREBEAM® with the additional benefit of using the latest intumescent coatings. The holistic approach within FIREBEAM® looks at the structural section size AND the intumescent coating thickness in conjunction with one another, to determine the most cost-effective/optimum combination. By increasing the mass of steel, consequently using less intumescent paint can often be overall a more economical solution.

Using its unique Beam Wizard technology, designers can optimise anything from a single beam to a whole floor or building with the click of a button. Designs that took days can now be completed in minutes saving significant mass and cost

FBEAM® and FIREBEAM® embody the latest in structural engineering know-how and is always up to date with new guidance and standards. The software is developed under strict quality control by Microsoft certified developers. Each new version of the software is accredited by external independent bodies.
