The LOW CARBON A-BEAM W^®  beam is particularly well-suited for winter construction conditions since the W-beam's enclosure is already filled with concrete at the factory, eliminating the challenging winter casting phase. Concrete casting at the factory stage can be done more reliably and economically than on-site during winter conditions.

Due to the cast enclosure, the bending and torsional resistance of the beam to loads during the installation phase is significantly higher than that of the A-BEAM® S beam, allowing for the abandonment of support during installation. The beam is used both as a single-span and continuous structure, and without separate fire protection up to fire class R120. The fire rating of the beam has been updated and is carried out according to the latest European standards.

LOW CARBON A-BEAM W^® beams are manufactured using lower-emission raw materials, which reduces the emissions generated during their production.

A unique, patented innovation for moisture removal

The moisture removal pipe is advantageously placed in the least loaded parts of the beam. The pipe is available for both A-BEAM W^® and A-BEAM S^® beams. The pipe shortens the drying time of the concrete in a closed box structure. It can also be used to heat the beam during winter or cool the beam during summer.

The AOK^® bracket

The AOK^® support operates in the hollow core slab level opening as a supporting structure at the head of the slab. The bracket is used together with both A-BEAM W^® and A-BEAM S^® beams.
