Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate welding procedures for the load requirements.Consult structural load calculations and adhere strictly to specified fastening methods and weld joint designs to ensure system integrity.
Failure to account for thermal expansion and contraction in bracing systems.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible connections where significant temperature fluctuations are anticipated to prevent stress buildup.

Common Applications

  • Overhead structural bracing for HVAC and electrical conduits
  • Support framing for heavy machinery and equipment
