X-CALIBR™ Roll-formed Structural System
Introducing X-CALIBR™, the new roll-formed structural steel system that can replace traditional heavy steel construction methods.
Up until now, large portal buildings required heavy steel beams which were slow, expensive and time consuming to manufacture and install. Times have changed.
X-CALIBR™ ushers in a new era of steel portal construction with strong roll-formed sections that can frame an entire building faster and more cost effectively than ever before.
The X-CALIBR™ system creates a roll-formed, exceptionally strong structure that is completely pre-fabricated without the need for drilling, cutting, welding or measuring.
The machine-fabricated structural sections can be configured to create portals, wind posts, purlins or girts to frame an entire mid to large-span project, such as a distribution centre or warehouse. Larger spans can be achieved by increasing the section depth, and width, to cater for the structural demands.
X-CALIBR™ sections are from locally sourced G450 Z450 galvanised steel with a nominal 1.95mm wall thickness and connected with specifically developed large hollow tube rivet technology.
The fully automated, precision roll-forming process for X-CALIBR™ slashes material costs, processing and handling in the factory whilst dramatically cutting assembly time onsite. The roll-formed sections require significantly less raw material but are equal in strength to structural steel with the advantage of lower base material costs.
Using X-CALIBR™ reduces labour costs by eliminating human error and boosting quality and accuracy. Faster processing times mean more projects can be delivered in a shorter time frame, creating a significant reduction in overheads which can be passed on to the customer.
- Our X-CALIBR™ roll-forming machine feeds from a pallet-sized coil of clean, galvanised steel.
- All sections are produced by the fully automated roll-forming process. Sections are precision cut to size and all holes are pre-drilled, saving time marking and drilling plate locations.
- Completed sections are placed on trestles by hand then accurately riveted together without the need for grinding, welding, sandblasting or painting. Then we attach the members together in position, then rivet the connecting plates.
- The preassembled, galvanised sections are then delivered from the workshop to the site, without the need for sandblasting or painting. More sections can be delivered at once, reducing transportation costs and requiring less heavy lifting equipment for unloading.
- Once on site, X-CALIBR™’s exceptional strength to weight ratio makes preassembled sections easy to handle with a smaller crew. Simply line up the holes and bolt the sections together in a process that takes just hours instead of days.
Commercial and Industrial
- Large full portal structures
- Warehouses
- Distribution centres
- Workshops
- Cantilevered or conventional canopies
- Agricultural structures for storage, feed pads or bunkers
- X-CALIBR™ is the ideal solution for large buildings on soft ground where a lightweight structure is essential
X-CALIBR™ is made in New Zealand from high quality NZ steel. Simply order what you need for your project with the confidence of knowing your X-CALIBR™ sections will be delivered when you need them without extra cost, waste, or international shipping and storage fees. Most projects will follow this standard ordering process:
- You supply us with your project requirements and the intended location.
- We mock up your structural frame requirements in 3-D and provide an estimate.
- Once approved construction documents are then produced and filed for consent.
- We manufacture your order once building consent has been granted.
- We then ship the structure to your site location and we are happy to arrange installation if required.
