Keyfab Structural Steel

KeyFab was chosen to provide a structural steel solution for a unique, self-build project in Rosses Point Co. Sligo, a design which demanded a cantilevered steelwork solution.

Keyfab’s bespoke propped cantilevered L-frame steel solution eliminated the need for visible support posts, delivering uninterrupted Atlantic views while maintaining structural integrity and buildability.

Keyfab combined innovative engineering and precision steel fabrication to transform a complex architectural challenge into an elegant, concealed structural solution.
With large windows providing expansive views of the Atlantic through irregular-shaped, acute angled windows, the initial design scheme had identified a supporting beam and corner post as the only workable solution.

However, this risked watering down the original design and impacting views from inside. After analysing the load conditions, we were able to propose an alternative approach that delivered on the original architectural intent without compromising on strength, while also remaining fully concealed within the brickwork envelope. The solution was a propped cantilevered, L-frame which redistributed the structural load. Not only did this remove the need for the corner post, it simplified the construction and integrated more simply with the surrounding brickwork.

Keyfab delivered an innovative structural solution that preserved our client’s design vision while ensuring robust performance and seamless buildability—proving themselves a trusted engineering partner.
