Vescom’s Simple Erection Process

1. Bay Framing

After bays are framed with Vescom composit truss girders and joists, the joist bundles are placed.

2. Joist Spreading

Joists are spread to require spacing. NO need for time consuming bridging.

 

 

3. Pre-cut decking is placed and welded.

A rugged working platform is now ready for immediate use.

4. Mesh is rolled into place.

Unique top chord design eliminates the need for high chairs.

 

 

5. Placing the concrete

The final step

6. The Finished Floor

The finished floor, with no forms to strip, is ready for other trades.

 

 

 


Vescom Composite Floor System Offers Obvious Residential Construction Advantages

  • Economical
    Greater spans, wier spacing, less labor cost, less weight and hiehgt results in a more economical floor system.

  • Structural Integrity
    The interlocking of concrete and steel produce less deflection, less vibration, greater stiffness and superior lateral diaphragm action.

  • Sound Deadening
    An STC of 57 gives Vescom the best in sound transmission rating of all conventional floor systems.

  • Fire Protection
    Vescom has a two-hour U.L. Fire Rating using only one layour of ½” sheetrock. This rating allows the use of PVC plumbing and eliminates the need for fire dampers.

  • Simplicity
    Vescom is easier than conventional joists or structural steel to erect. It requires no bridging, no stripping of forms, no scaffolding, no high chairs and no need to coordinate trades.

  • Flexibility
    No restrictions are required on spacing, which allows easy access for mechanical and electrical systems.

  • Seismic and Wind Bracing
    Vescom composite truss girders and joist resist wind and seismic forces with simple moment connections. No bracing for these lateral forces is required.
