NPS® Cls Beam
NPS® Cls beams, with a precast concrete base, are self-supporting and provide excellent integrated fire resistance.
Ideal for large spans and high loads, they integrate with any slab, particularly with hollow core and precast slabs.
Advantages
- Integrated fire resistance up to 180′ without additional fire protection measures
- Ideal for large spans (even over 18 metres)
- Optimal solution when the section geometry has no downstanding limits, allowing costs to be reduced and integrated fire resistance to be maintained.
- Seismic resistance even without bracing
- Speed of construction
- Slim sections
- Self-supporting (no need for propping)
- Can be combined with all types of slabs and supports
- Adaptable to floor plan geometries
- LEED and DGNB certified
- Certified product
- Design and technical support from Tecnostrutture technicians
Areas of application
NPS® Cls beams are ideal for buildings with large spans or high loads, such as underground car parks, where fire resistance is required. The concrete base protects the bottom rebars and offers integrated fire resistance. Perfect for infrastructures that require self-supporting solutions without shoring.
Common application areas include:
- Buildings in seismic zones
- Healthcare
- Culture and education
- Residential
- Industry and commerce
- Buildings with fire resistance requirements
- Mariner quality

Sustainability
Up to 93% recycled steel, EPD certified.
NPS® Basic beams are made from up to 93% recycled steel for more than 84% of their weight, as certified by the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) issued by a third party.
This declaration is based on life cycle analysis (LCA), calculated per kg of beam, providing transparency on the environmental impact of the product.
NPS® beams support obtaining credits for sustainability certifications such as LEED and DGNB.
Assembly
An NPS® beam is assembled in just five minutes, with the intervention of just three operators. No shoring is normally required. Immediately after casting, the subsequent construction operations continue, without having to wait 28 days for the concrete casting to cure. A fast and efficient solution, ideal for speeding up construction time.
Accessories
NPS® Safety is a fall protection system integrated into the NPS® beams.
The NPS® beams can be supplied with integrated support for fall protection on request. This allows the parapet to be fixed to the ground, ensuring safe and fast installation.
References
For decades, NPS® Cls beams have been successfully used in thousands of projects, from residential buildings to schools, from car parks to infrastructure.
The reason? Structures with integrated fire and earthquake resistance, speed and high construction flexibility. In addition, the general designer can count on Tecnostrutture’s engineering support for more efficient and simpler construction.
