Beam Dimensions. Depth – 200mm to 2000mm. Flange width – 150mm to
1250mm. Web and Flange thickness – 8mm to 80mm. CWB’s can be
fabricated with lengths between 6m and 31m.

Steel plate options. Thickness –

8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,25,28,32,36,40,50mm. Flange widths –
183,210,245,295,370 and 490mm are optimum however any other width is
also possible.

Steel Grade. G350L15 in compliance with AS/NZS 3678 (2011). Material test
certificates available upon request.

Welds. Double side 6mm or 8mm submerged arc welds are standard. All

Specifications. CWB’s are manufactured to AS/NZS 5131 (2016) as the

standard specification. Should AS/NZS 3679.2 (2016) be specified, we can
offer this, however the extra testing requirements results in higher costs and
longer lead times.

CWB’s are ideally suited for many applications including large span portal
frame structures, parking and office buildings, bridge and crane beams. We
offer a free specifier design service to cost engineer the most efficient CWB
solutions into your project. For expert technical advice please phone
