Internal view of GLA Hall.
LSFs are increasingly playing an important role in the construction sector.
In typical Ultra-Span style, the 19m
trusses were preassembled in braced
pairs and then lifted into their final
position on the roof ensuring fast
erection of the roof structure and other
installation works to continue a
stable platform.
Satisfied customer, Stefan Kleyn
from the GLA, says the MiTek team
designed and installed a cost-effective
solution that not only looks impressive
but is also an extraordinary feat
of engineering.
John Barnard, director at Southern
African Light Steel Frame Building
Association (Sasfa), says that the project
is indicative of an area of construction
where LSF is increasingly playing a
significant role.
“It is not only perfect for complex,
long-span roofing structures, but LSF
building is now increasingly relevant in
a construction environment that is
facing rising costs in materials and
transport and in an end-user
environment where energy costs are
soaring, and environmental issues are
paramount,” he concludes.
