COLD ROLLFORMING
Cold rollforming is one of the most versatile and productive manufacturing methods for forming metal. Hadley Group’s rollformed profiles can offer a number of advantages over extrusions, including significant savings thanks to the low weight ratios and increased strength. In addition, the rollforming process is more efficient and uses less energy than extrusion.
At the heart of Hadley Group’s cold rollforming technology is the innovative and internationally patented, UltraSTEEL® technology. UltraSTEEL® is a major technical breakthrough in the development of rollforming as it can be applied to virtually any cold rolled profile. The process has helped customers from different industries around the world to improve product efficiency, save weight and reduce the use of raw materials.
LIGHT GAUGE STEEL SFS AND STRUCTURAL FRAMING
Hadley Group’s expertise in steel framing solutions means they can supply complete load-bearing systems including roofs, walls, floors, door/window openings, bracing, and external finishes for standalone low or medium rise structures. Components are designed, detailed and manufactured at the production facility then delivered to site where they are screwed together in accordance with the drawings. Such structures are ideal for buildings across all commercial and residential sectors. The process enables fast build turnaround times and the lightweight construction system offers a lighter, easier to erect alternative to steel or concrete frames. The light but robust design of all components makes this solution particularly suitable for sites with limited space or access. Hadley steel framing solutions extend to providing for external wall infill, continuous walling and high bay walls.
PURLIN SYSTEMS AND MEZZANINE FLOOR SYSTEMS
UltraZed™ (engineered Z profile) purlin and side rail system is the most advanced profile system available and has been engineered to deliver outstanding load bearing capacity, maximum ease of use and impressive levels of sustainability. UltraBeam side rails are engineered from high-tensile pre-galvanised steel and outperform traditional products in every respect as it achieves straighter runs ensuring easier, more accurate construction. All UltraZed™ and UltraBeam rails go through the patented cold rollforming production process to deliver components of significantly greater strength for a reduction in raw materials and easier lifting.
UltraMezz™ (engineered C profile) is an innovative mezzanine floor beam system technology that takes performance, design simplicity and speed of project turnaround to new levels. This unique beam design has been further refined to enhance its performance and deliver a lighter, stronger product. The resulting efficiency of design makes the UltraMezz™ flooring system the most efficient on the market, capable of delivering significant benefits in weight and span.
The construction industry adds nearly £90bn to the UK economy each year and employs 2.9m people however it is feared that current productivity and skills will not meet demands. Making the most of skills and labour that already exists in the industry and undertaking a fundamental shift towards off-site construction methods will bring lower costs, faster delivery, lower carbon emissions and reduction in the import/export trade gap. Hadley Group specialises in producing a wide range of innovative solutions that will benefit off-site construction.
