Zed purlins and infill walling from Metsec have been supplied for the new Barnsley Transport Interchange project. The company supplied 22 tonnes of 142mm deep zed purlins to act as a fixing for the boarding to create a curved shape to the exterior. Fixed, light gauge galvanised steel framing from Metsec was also specified as infill walling on the retail/office part of the project. Some 1800m of 150mm SFS sections form the infill.

Long span, curved, lightweight steel lattice trusses from Metsec's lattice joists division, have been used to support the roof covering a new medical centre in Kent. The trusses' strength to weight ratio allowed restrictions on the ridge height of the two storey, 580m, L-shaped building to be overcome. Lattice joists from the company were specified due to their light weight and shallowness at the eaves.

Some 12000m? of Metsec infill walling has been used as an efficient and lightweight way to enclose Berkeley Homes' Devonshire Court development of luxury apartments at Eastborne, the company claims. The company's SFS site fix light gauge framing system provided the infill between the main concrete frame members to create 89 two- and three-bed apartments. Erected in 30 weeks by BR Hodgson, SFS was specified as the quickest way to achieve early dry envelope on the 64 week construction programme. The 150mm steel stud and track sections were delivered as cut to length components and screwed together on site. Repeatability of the cold roll-formed sections enabled fast installation of the infill walling and ensured accurate setting out and lining up of the bay windows.
