RAAC Panel Support System

Fabric & Structure

EXTEND-SYSTEM
Reinforcement for Floor/Ceiling/Roof Slabs Affected by RAAC

The EXTEND SYSTEM is an innovative reinforcement solution that uses extendable, telescopic beams to provide structural support to existing beams and floor panels/systems. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloy, the length of each beam can be adjusted on site to ensure a precise fit, removing the need for bespoke off-site fabrication, reducing both costs and installation time.

The system is particularly well-suited for RAAC panel support. Where existing RAAC can be stabilised, the system can be installed rapidly by small teams, with minimal disruption to the day-to-day operation of the building (for example, 350 beams were installed in 3 weeks in a school in Spain, by a team of just 6 people).

Key Points

FAST INSTALLATION: The multi-span adaptablility of Extend-System beams facilitates fast and efficient installation without the need for offsite cutting. They are assembled without welding.
HANDLING: The high-strength, lightweight beams are easy to handle and installation can be carried out by just two people.
MATERIAL and FINISH: Milled aluminium.
CERTIFICATION: DIT (Document of Technical Suitability) – The Extend System has been tested and certified by the Spanish building science institute EITCC.
CERTIFICATION: Applus+ is an independent and impartial certification body, and is part of one of the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification companies.
CE MARKED: All Extend System beams and components are CE marked.
