Channels 380 x 100 x 9 metres Mild Steel PFC 55.2KG/MTR

Premium Mild Steel Channel for Construction Projects in Sydney, NSW

In Sydney's advanced construction industry, structural integrity and engineering excellence are essential for the most demanding building projects. The Channels 380 x 100 x 9 metres Mild Steel PFC (Parallel Flange Channel) at 55.2KG/MTR represents a superior structural solution that delivers exceptional load-bearing performance for critical applications throughout New South Wales.

Technical Specifications

This heavy-duty mild steel channel features substantial dimensions with a 380mm height and 100mm flange width, providing impressive load-bearing capacity at 55.2 kilograms per metre. The extended 9-metre length offers significant advantages for spanning major distances in critical structural applications while minimizing intermediate supports.

Manufactured in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3679.1, this PFC ensures consistent performance with a minimum yield strength of 300 MPa and tensile strength between 430-510 MPa. The parallel flange configuration provides optimal stress distribution and simplified connection details for complex structural systems.

Applications in Sydney's Construction Industry

Commercial Building Applications

Sydney's commercial construction sector utilizes these substantial channels for primary framing in large structures, major transfer beams supporting multiple floor levels, critical structural elements in high-rise buildings, and essential components in commercial facilities requiring maximum structural integrity and performance.

Industrial Construction

Throughout NSW's industrial facilities, these channels serve as primary structural members in large manufacturing buildings, substantial crane runway beams for heavy lifting operations, major support structures for industrial equipment, and essential components in facilities where exceptional loads and vibration resistance are required.

Infrastructure Projects

In Sydney's infrastructure development, these channels excel in major bridge construction components, substantial support structures for transportation facilities, critical structural elements in public buildings, and essential components in infrastructure projects where structural performance is paramount.

Engineering Considerations

The section properties of the 380 x 100 PFC channel provide exceptional moment of inertia and section modulus, enabling superior load-bearing capacity and excellent deflection control. Sydney engineers specify these channels for critical applications where structural performance cannot be compromised and where larger spans or substantial loads must be accommodated.

Connection details require comprehensive engineering analysis, typically employing substantial bolted connections with high-strength bolts or fully welded joints designed to develop the full capacity of the section. Sydney's construction standards require detailed structural analysis and connection design for these major structural elements.

Installation Best Practices

The substantial weight and extended length necessitate specialized mechanical handling equipment, comprehensive transportation planning, and professional installation procedures. Sydney's coastal environment requires advanced corrosion protection, typically through hot-dip galvanizing or engineered coating systems depending on exposure conditions.

Building Supply Advantages for NSW Projects

As a premium building supply in Sydney's construction market, these substantial mild steel channels offer several advantages:

• Superior load capacity for the most critical structural applications
• Reduced structural complexity through fewer supporting elements
• Compatibility with advanced engineered connection systems
• Availability through specialized steel suppliers throughout NSW

For construction professionals addressing the most significant structural challenges across Sydney and NSW, the 380 x 100 x 9 metres Mild Steel PFC at 55.2KG/MTR delivers the optimal combination of strength, performance, and engineering excellence.
