In its effort to provide innovative and cost-effective products to the industry, Fielders has introduced Aramax FreeSpan to its diversified product range. The product has also recently been incorporated into a significant number of projects across the country.
Aramax FreeSpan, which is produced on a mobile roll-former, has the unique ability to be rolled onsite anywhere in the world. Its deep profile enables the roof sheeting to span large unsupported distances between steel portals, which Fielders says makes it bigger, bolder and deeper than conventional steel cladding profiles.
One of the major benefits of the product is its ability to allow for large spans of up to 20 metres without the use of purlins or girts required in conventional structural framing offering significant cost-saving in terms of fabrication and installation.
Designed to accommodate individual project requirements, Aramax FreeSpan has diverse project appeal including sports stadiums, aircraft hangers, warehousing, factories and shelters to name a few.
Fielders GM of Sales, Marketing & Engineering, Matt Lloyde says the business has witnessed significant uptake of Aramax FreeSpan roll-forming since acquiring exclusive rights to supply it nationwide in February this year.
“Aramax FreeSpan has been a popular choice for major projects over the past six months, such as Sydney’s White Bay Passenger Terminal, WIN Stadium in Wollongong, and WesTrac’s new site in WA, where Fielders’ record-breaking 122m long sheets were rolled onsite.
“More and more designers have been opting for this profile not only because of its excellent spanning capabilities and aesthetic appeal but its ability to save costs, which is vital in this unpredictable market,” says Mr Lloyde.
Since its inception, the profile’s versatility has been demonstrated with the release of Aramax FreeSpan roadside noise prevention barriers to help decrease noise levels in high traffic areas. Future developments planned for Aramax include the integration of thin film photovoltaic technology to capture solar energy on previously underutilised roof catchment areas without impacting the aesthetics of the design.
