MiTek PosiStruts the ideal commercial roofing solution

Casey Central Secondary College, on the outskirts of Melbourne, is set to open its doors to over 1,000 students soon. Like most schools, large, open-planned areas are the ideal. However these large areas need long trusses to answer their roofing challenges. Cost and time were critical factors - that's why licensed MiTek fabricator, Bowens Roof Trusses (Dandenong) and PosiStruts were chosen. Bowens have a purpose-built PosiStrut production line...and the capacity to meet a large demand in a short deadline.

In the end over 14,500 lineal meters of PosiStruts were used. This meant the manufacture of more than 2,000 individual PosiStruts, incorporating over 35,000 lineal metres of timber, 4,500+ PosiStrut Webs and nearly 40,000 Gang-Nail connector plates! The longest trusses were in excess of 11m (doubled), with most accommodating a 1.2m cantilever. Because the buildings were erected on concrete slabs, the open-webbed design of PosiStruts allowed excellent access for services too...further aiding the developer's ability to meet a testing deadline!
