INTRODUCING THE UB PANEL SYSTEM
The UB Panel system is a unique system of precision-manufactured, prefabricated floor and walls. Each panel consists of light-weight steel elements encased in a cementitious infill and are designed to lock rapidly together to create a building's super-structure.
SO MUCH MORE THAN TRADITIONAL PRE-CAST
UB panels incorporate all columns and bracing elements to support the building structure, conduits for electrical and sprinklers, insulation, fire protection as well as linings and finishes. Inert structure eliminates need for chemical treatment for termites, mould and fungus. UB panels have approved 2 hour fire rated protection (120/120/120)
Efficient Installation
UB Panels minimise the need to pour concrete onsite and virtually eliminate all traditional wet trades onsite. Consequently, there is no back-propping, no formwork stripping and no requirement for concrete curing times. Proprietary connection systems interface seamlessly with façade, glazing and bathroom/kitchen pods. Our pre-installed safety handrails, harness points and propping points ensure rapid and safe on-site installation and finishing.
FLEXIBLE
Our panels can be readily integrated into a wide range of projects. They are also compatible with almost any façade types including traditional concrete elements, lightweight cladding or complete curtain walls and can incorporate free-spanning cantilevered balconies.
A BUILDING SOLUTION LIKE NO OTHER
PROVIDING
+ Superstructure columns
+ Shear and division walls
+ Fire rating protection
+ Acoustic linings
+ Wall and ceiling linings
+ Services rough-ins

ELIMINATING
- On-site concrete pouring on site
- Back propping & formwork stripping
- Delays in curing
- Setout of services
- Complications in locating façade brackets
- Need for blockouts and grouting
- Waste and inefficiencies
- Excessive carbon footprint
HOW IT WORKS
Our range of services varies from project to project. We aim to provide head contractors with an enhanced building superstructure that integrates with facade and roof systems to reduce the time and costs associated with reaching lock-up and overall project completion.
Design & DOCUMENTATION
Our in-house architectural experts work with your team to optimise designs, co-ordinate integration of services with others and develop final production shop-drawings
FABRICATION
Each panel is individually custom-produced to exacting requirements and to your specified designs and dimensions at our dedicated facility in St Albans
