Ultra-Span® Story

Ultra-Span® Service Page

Introduction

The innovative Ultra-Span® trusses, introduced by MiTek in 1989, revolutionized construction with their patented Z profile galvanized cold-formed steel design. These trusses boast the market's best strength-to-mass ratio and are engineered using MiTek's advanced Pamir roof software, ensuring superior structural integrity and longevity.

Manufacturing and Distribution Excellence

As a four-time winner of the Southern African Steel Institute of Construction Awards, Ultra-Span® has proven its excellence in construction projects across Africa. Its lightweight, compact design enables efficient logistics, with up to 4000m² of material fitting in a single container. Manufacturing takes place at MiTek's specialized facility in Midrand, with distribution handled through licensed fabricators like Consolidated Roof Brands (Pty) Ltd.

Impact on Affordable Housing

Perhaps most remarkably, Ultra-Span® has found unexpected success in affordable housing projects throughout West, East, and Southern Africa. Despite being designed for ultra-spanning applications, its simplicity and low-tech nature have made it ideal for community projects utilizing local unskilled labor. This adaptation to smaller-scale residential construction demonstrates a market-driven versatility that transcends its original purpose.
