Figure 7 – Anchoring to Hollow Structures
ATTACHMENT TO STEEL I-BEAMS
As with any structural member, the specifications and load bearing limitations should be checked at the
time of the site assessment. The most significant determining factor with respect to material and labour
cost is the span between beams. When surveying a room, the surveyor should note the exact distances
between beams, how many beams are in each room, and where they are located. In some cases, it may
be necessary to penetrate the firewalls between rooms to attach structural steel between I-beams in
adjoining rooms.
NOTE: There are a wide variety of I-beams clamps available. Refer to the manufacturer specifications
for methods of attachment and load bearing limitations.
