Metric Sheeting

Metric Sheeting

A Unique Steel Sheeting with the Industry’s Best Strength to Weight Ratio

Cold-formed CONTECH Metric Sheeting serves where heavy hot-rolled sheeting is impractical and where other materials are structurally inadequate. Metric Sheeting's unique profile gives it a higher degree of stiffness resulting in the industry's best strength to weight ratio. Higher stiffness also results in less driving effort.

Benefits of Metric Sheeting:
  • Greater laying width – 215/8” net laying width means more coverage per section driven
  • Higher stiffness–translates into less driving effort
  • ALUMINIZED STEEL Type 2 coating – provides improved durability versus galvanizing for applications requiring longer life or when aesthetics are a concern
  • Galvanized coatings – available for additional corrosion protection

Metric Sheeting for Earth Retention

Metric Sheeting for Earth RetentionCONTECH Metric Sheeting offers solutions for light-duty earth retention needs. Installation can be conducted with two laborers by pushing into the ground with a backhoe. In more difficult driving conditions, it can be driven with conventional drop hammers, vibratory drivers and diesel hammers.

 

SS Credit 5.1 – Site Development, Protect or Restore Habitat, 1 Point

Intent – Conserve existing natural areas and restore damaged areas to provide habitat and promote biodiversity.

Potential contribution: Retaining Wall Systems
  • Eliminate sloped transitions to reduce disturbed area
  • Increase vegetated footprint by enabling terraced landscapes
  • Use vertical cuts to replace steep erodible slopes

MR Credit 4 – Recycled Content, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase the demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials. The sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project.

Potential Contribution: CONTECH Metal Pipe and Structures
  • Steel is the most recycled material in the world
  • Up to 80% recycled content

MR Credit 5.1 – Regional Materials, 1-2 Points

Intent – Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured locally to a job site in hopes to reduce the environmental impact that would result from transporting these goods. Products manufactured, extracted and recycled within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost of the total materials value.
