Keyfab Structural Steel

Keyfab was chosen to deliver the steel sub-structure for an innovative, Passivhaus certified timber-framed school construction.

We worked in collaboration with Timber Innovations, to help deliver a pioneering timber frame design for a new primary school in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton.

Keyfab’s collaborative engineering expertise and bespoke steelwork solutions played a key role in delivering this innovative, sustainable Passivhaus school project.
Keyfab supplied a precision-engineered steel sub-structure designed to integrate seamlessly with the timber frame system, supporting the stringent airtightness and performance requirements of Passivhaus construction.

As well as our technical expertise and reliable product offering, our ability to interpret complex architectural plans and provide precision-engineered solutions was critical to our selection for the highly specific requirements of the Passivhaus standard. We worked with the structural engineer and Timber Innovations from the early design stages to deliver a steel frame system that enabled the airtight, energy efficient construction that’s fundamental to Passivhaus principles. The new facility will provide nearly 450 much-needed primary school places and serve as a cornerstone for community regeneration.

Keyfab’s technical expertise and precision-engineered steelwork were vital to the success of the Wednesfield Passivhaus school. Their seamless integration with our timber frame solution helped us deliver a sustainable, high-performance building on time and to specification.
