siFramo Modular Steelwork Solutions

This amazing product simply screws together, eliminating the need of drilling, bolting and welding, effectively preventing on-site delays through its pregalvanised finish.

siFramo has revolutionised support structures for services by providing the first real alternative to welding structural framework for supporting weights beyond capacity of strut.

Solid Seismic Supports

siFramo is seismic rated and can become a fully engineered solution.

Free design service. Seismic rating available to make sure your project is compliant.

Benefits

• Quick and easy to install

• Non-welded modular steelwork

• Higher performance / lower weight of steel

• Maximum flexibility, minimum installation time

• Easy to assemble and disassemble

• Compatible with other installation systems

• High corrosion resistance as standard

• One thread forming screw for all component connections

• Frame and module assembly modifications can be made quickly on site with no loss of time, cut-outs or re-works

• Parts are reusable

siFramo Product Specifications

HCP Coating - High Corrosion Protection

All siFramo products come with the high-quality HCP coating as standard.

To meet the most stringent corrosion protection standards, siFramo support system is developed with a new individual multilayer coating, a design which is confirmed as complying with the corrosion category C5-I. This is the highest corrosive category; hence the coating is suitable for industrial fields, involving exposure to high humidity and aggressive environmental conditions.

The perfect system for time-saving screw connection

The siFramo system is assembled via thread-forming tapping screws. The chip-less, custom-fitted cold-work hardening of the female thread means the screw develops form closure and no longer becomes loose. They can also be removed and reused again - excellent for adjustments.

Comparison with torsional moment of inertia lz (cm4). The torsional stiffness of siFramo 80 is approximately 2 to 3 orders of magnitude greater than with open profiles.

Running tight on time and resources?

Extend your team on site and access ACURA’s pre-fabrication service.

siFramo Pre-Fab Solutions

ACURA can facilitate pre-fabrication of your designs off-site. Your required solutions will be assembled for you off-site and delivered to site for you to install them.

On-site installation

Pre-assembled units encompass the potential for great savings and are a key part of modern installations. We also produce customer tailored mounting solutions made of siFramo and deliver siFramo sections cut to length based on customer specification. This minimizes the installation work required, accelerates construction and allows certainty for calculation.

On site delivery

Your pre-fabricated solutions will be delivered to site, on time and to budget.

We can arrange crane lifts, tested liftings, all with our own managed delivery system.

ACURA Group can provide comprehensive designs and drawings for any project, including weight and seismic calculations, that will ensure any products we supply are compliant.

PTOCC in Perth

The $50 million Public Transport Operations Control Centre project, faced a critical challenge in finding a seismically rated solution to the support electrical and dry fire services.

The project requirements include a full seismic design certificate, integrated remote monitoring sign-off process with photographic evidence, 3D modeling, and take-off to ensure an end-to-end compliant outcome.

ACURA Group worked with engineers, providing a comprehensive seismic engineered solution, and a full six-level support program that included the use of the versatile Zip-Clip wire bracing, rod stiffener for the multi-layered tray, and specialised seismic rated fixings. These products played a vital role in ensuring the solution met all of the client's compliance needs.

With ACURA Group's 5 runs a day in metro Perth, products will be delivered to site level by level, on time, every time.

The solutions ACURA Group has and is providing this project with, clearly demonstrates the exceptional capabilities and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Royal Adelaide Hospital

“For large and complicated builds, only the best in support solutions will do. We helped to implement the world standard in seismic support at nRAH,” says Simon Joyce, ACURA Group Sales Director.

The Royal Adelaide Hospital spans the equivalent of three city blocks and contains almost 4 hectares of landscaped parks and gardens. What lies beneath the surface is a carefully designed and executed technologically advanced facility - one of the nations best in complex clinical care.

It was therefore a natural fit to be part of the construction process, with ACURA Group supplying the best in innovative seismic approve solutions to this flagship facility.

With services traveling up and down and across 9 levels at nRAH, the support needs of the electrical, HVAC, seismic and fire protection sectors was vast for this $2.4 Billion dollar project.

Seismic compliance became a very large issue on this project and it was necessary to work closely with the electrical, medical gases, plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical contractors to provide a seismically approved and engineered solution.

ACURA Group designed a versatile prefabricated and seismically approved common support frame (CSF) based on the siFramo system, which the contractor built off site. The support frame was then transported in large sections on-site, lifted

by crane (see page 7), and successfully installed across all corridors.

An estimated total of 12km of siFramo was used in this innovative solution, along with other seismic approved products like Zip-Clip and seismic approved fixings.

This innovative solution contributed to fast install times without comprising on compliance.
