The patented Speedwall panels consist of:

• ‘Ladder trusses’ are formed using a 3mm diameter zinc electroplated galvanized wire, forming 50cm or 100cm squared centres. These trusses are manufactured onsite in the patented truss machine.
• Trusses are strapped together on each face and spot welded with further steel wire creating the structural framework of the panel.
• The central insulating core comprises 24 pieces (5cm x 10cm x 244 cm) of fire retardant quality insulating core.

Attributes of panel:

• A standard panel size is 2.4m x 1.2m with a finished thickness of either 100mm or 156mm.
• The length and thickness can be adjusted, and requires only resetting of the Speedwall equipment to obtain the modified dimension.
• A standard panel allows for an unsupported span of approximately 4m.
• The resultant monolithic structure is adaptable to virtually any structural requirement or climatic, environmental or seismic condition as wind-load and load-bearing tests attest.
• Speedwall structures are rust proof due to the zinc coating to the wire members.
• Speedwall panels have an excellent thermal and acoustic rating and a 2-hour fire rating. Higher ratings can be achieved with additional cladding.
• Speedwall panels are suitable for internal and external use in walls, floors and roofs of buildings up to three storeys.
• Effective as internal and external in-fill in framed structures where they are ideal for multi-story applications as partitions or curtain walls.
• The integrated reinforcing and lightweight nature of the Speedwall panels makes them ideal for construction in zones subject to earthquake.
