RSJ Installation FAQs
What is an RSJ?
RSJ stands for rolled steel joist. The term is now commonly used to describe a structural steel beam installed to support part of a building. The actual steel specified may be a universal beam, universal column or another suitable steel section.
When might an RSJ be required?
An RSJ may be needed above a new or enlarged opening, between an existing property and a house extension, or where additional structural support has been specified. The requirements will depend on the individual property and design.
Do I need a structural engineer for an RSJ installation?
Structural calculations and installation details will normally be required to determine the correct beam size, bearings and connections. Churchfield Construction Company can install the steelwork in accordance with the structural specification provided.
Does RSJ installation require Building Regulations approval?
Structural steel installations will commonly fall within the scope of the Building Regulations. The exact requirements depend on the project, so the necessary structural details and approvals should be established before work begins.
Can you supply and install the steel beam?
Steel supply can be included within the quotation where required. The beam will need to be manufactured or sourced using the dimensions and details specified for the project.
Can you install connected steel beams and columns?
Yes. We can install single beams, connected steel sections and supporting steel columns where these form part of the approved structural design.
Can you complete the building work around the RSJ?
Yes. As an experienced building company, we can complete the associated masonry, fire protection and making good included within the agreed quotation.
How much does an RSJ installation cost?
The cost of an RSJ installation depends on the size and weight of the steel beam, access, temporary support, bearing preparation and the amount of associated building work required. Connected steel sections, supporting columns, fire protection and making good can also affect the price.
