Bi-Steel wall systems

Bi-Steel

Bi-Steel is a Corus-patented construction material comprising two steel plates that are connected together to form panels by an array of friction welded transverse bars. The void between these panels is then filled with ready-mixed concrete to create a composite material with outstanding strength and performance.

Bi-Steel shear walls

Bi-Steel is increasingly being used to construct shear walls to provide additional stability to multi-storey steel frame structures. Typically, a Bi-Steel shear wall will be selected to provide an additional structural element, which, together with the structural core(s) specified for the scheme, will deliver the required structural rigidity. Bi-Steel shear walls provide accurate structures that are quick and easy to erect.

Bi-Steel blast walls

Bi-Steel blast walls are used in military, government and commercial environments where the highest levels of protection against blast are required. Blast walls constructed in Bi-Steel deliver superior protection against criminal and terrorist attack involving the use of explosives or extreme physical force. Bi-Steel has been fully tested in association with recognised Government agencies. It offers unrivalled protection against attack for security sensitive premises, such as data and cash storage sites, airports, ports and rail terminals, power generation facilities, oil and gas storage sites and overseas embassies located in conflict zones.
