We hit
the magic million - and it’s no accident!
25th January 2007.
Skanska UK specialist steel decking company Richard Lees Steel Decking,
the UK’s leading manufacturer of steel decking solutions, this week
notched up a magic one million accident-free man hours – despite
its employees working in some of the most demanding environments in UK
construction.
The company, based in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, has completed more than 1,200 construction projects since its last recorded accident in August 2003.
Deckspan
Version 6.0
In line with Richard Lees commitment to continual research and development,
the latest structural innovation has been incorporated in the Deckspan
design software. In addition to designs utilising steel mesh and bar reinforcement
to satisfy crack-control, distribution and fire performance requirements,
the software now includes an option to select STRUX® 90/40 fibre in
lieu of steel reinforcement to fulfil composite and fire load-carrying
requirements.
The software is readily available to download free of charge from the website or contact RLSD for a copy on CD-ROM.

STRUX®
90/40 sets new standards for reinforced concrete
Following a two year development programme between
Richard Lees Steel Decking Ltd and Grace Construction Products, the first
100% fibre concrete reinforcement for use in steel deck composite floors,
is now available in the UK.
STRUX® 90/40 sets new standards both in terms of project time savings and cost. The launch of the fibre reinforced concrete solution offers a practical alternative to traditional (mesh) steel fabric reinforcement. Capable of providing a higher strength-to-weight ratio and fineness than traditional steel fibres, the new solution offers lower dosage rates, eliminating the need for specialist handling equipment.
