The Stelling Properties Ltd PBSA Modular Volumetric Steel Framed Building System v2.0

Each Module has a primary structural frame formed from hot rolled steel. These frames are designed to allow a range of sizes to cater for different value room offerings and different site configurations. When initially laying out a building it is essential the grid line dictated by these frames dimensions is used.

All modules have a width of 3175mm. All modules have a gap of 50mm between them, giving a grid width of 3225mm. Module lengths can vary with a range of 6400mm – 8820mm. Modules have an internal floor to ceiling height of 2400mm.

The Stelling Modular system is intended to be ‘turnkey’ operation, that is the shell of the building including external and internal finishes will be designed and erected by Stelling Properties Ltd. The 95% internally completed units are transported to site, erected on a pre-prepared substructure and foundations. Stelling Properties Ltd act as main contractor on site overseeing sub contract trades. Modules are structurally interconnected to provide composite action using connection plates, and pins in accordance with the engineer’s fixing specification to meet the requirements of the UK structural codes.

Durability Assessment: Minimum of 60 years
