Building on an Existing Structure
The current stringent seismic regulations, the need to build a lightweight floor slab that does not add load to the existing one, the requirement to minimise the number of columns, and the difficulty of formwork make structural choices of fundamental importance. The use of the MTR® System resolves every type of structural and technical issue; in particular, among the 3 types — MTR® A, MTR® T, MTR® C — the most suitable for this application is the MTR® A Beam.
Light to lift and install, adaptable to any architectural requirement, fully self-supporting, the MTR® A Beam represents the ideal solution for a vertical extension, combining load-bearing reinforcement and permanent formwork in a single element.
