The Composite Metal Deck System With Excellent Spanning Capabilities
MegaSPAN® is a composite metal deck system with excellent spanning capabilities, high composite performance, and reduced concrete and rebar usage. This system is designed to improve the cost efficiency and performance of all building construction, specifically for multi-story residential, industrial, commercial, and retrofit projects.
The System

267mm (10½”) to 356 mm (14″) |
10M, 15M, 20M, 25M, 30M, 35M |
20gauge, 18gauge, 16gauge |
2400 kg/m3 (Normal Concrete Density) |
High Composite Performance and Reduced Concrete Usage
Here is a closeup look at MegaSPAN, a deep steel deck pan that bonds with concrete and steel rebar to create composite action. This composite technology allows the system to reach long spans up to 30’ – 0” economically. The system also serves as a working platform and formwork during construction, eliminating the need for traditional formwork and shortening construction time.

The System: MegaSPAN Deck, Rebar, Mesh & Concrete:
Slab thickness is typically governed by fire requirements and then load requirements will dictate.
Increasing deck thicknesses will reduce shoring requirements, especially in the longer spans where we can typically remove 1 line of shoring by increasing the deck gauge.
Versatile and Efficient
MegaSPAN® is versatile and efficient, providing many options for installation, serviceability, and finish. It accommodates all framing systems, including lightweight steel framing, structural steel, masonry, and poured concrete structures. It also integrates concrete and metal deck profiles with custom side lap treatments to create a unique composite bond.

With MegaSPAN®, you can get the most out of your building’s construction. This composite metal deck system offers excellent spanning capabilities, high composite performance, and reduced concrete usage. It is designed to improve the cost efficiency and performance of all building construction and provides many options for installation, serviceability, and finish.
MegaSPAN Advantages
Profile Features
- Excellent composite performance is due to optimized metal deck profile design, which provides clear long spans up to 35 ft.
- A small thickness-to-span ratio reduces overall floor height. Slim floor depth ranges from 10½ in. to 14 in.
- Architectural flexibility for angled and arched slab edges. Concrete beams, mezzanines, and balconies are easily integrated.
Cost Effective
- Up to 60% less rebar, 65% less shoring, and 40% less concrete when compared to poured-in-place concrete slabs.
- A unique composite design reduces concrete volume and rebar reinforcement to provide additional savings on concrete foundation and shoring.
Performance
- MegaSPAN has the best fire rating in North America, which provides 1HR and 2HR fire-resistance ratings without any protective membrane or coating.
- Acoustical performance that exceeds Building Code Requirements with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 60+.
Fast-track Construction
- Provides a safe working platform and meets 100% of concrete forming requirements.
- Easy site handling and flexibility in storage. Easy to stack deck profile in bundles to optimize shipping.
- Deck panels are cut to length based on shop drawings and can be installed one by one without using a crane. Alternatively, pre-cut deck pieces can be placed into panels on site and then placed into position by crane, ready for rebar and concrete.
Engineering Process
MegaSPAN Engineering Team reviews and provides support by coordinating with Consultants & Architects
Proposals & accurate bids are determined by preliminary design based on discussion with Clients & Project Managers
Engineering softwares are used to frame Megaspan and optimize the cost of composite metal deck system
3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) is used to develop accurate shop drawings
Deck profile is manufactured with high quality control and precision for fast & easy construction
Our Engineering Team will guide your installation crews and provide training to ensure accurate installation
Engineering & Construction Support
Below are some of the MegaSPAN-related support services that we provide:
- Estimation and cost analysis
- Coordination with consultants, trades, and other stakeholders
- Stamped engineered shop drawings (installation layout and details)

Installation
- Align and fasten the End Closure to the supporting structure as per the shop drawing using self-drilling fasteners, taps, or powder-actuated fasteners (PAF), depending on structure type.
- Following the shop drawings and as per the bundles matching tags, Place the predrilled side of the deck panel on top of the other next piece to overlap. Fasten the deck panels to the End Closures at each side using two self-drill fasteners on each panel.
- Place Side Lap Washers at the predrilled pilot holes using #14 screws. Slide a Rebar Chair at the fourth washer for rebar support "approximately 48 in. o.c."
- Place Inside Trims, Perimeter Trims and Restraint Straps as per shop drawing requirements.
- Place Rebar and Wire Mesh as per shop drawings, and secure the temporary shoring as per the projects showing drawings.
- Pour concrete according to the manufacturer's specification, per engineer of record requirements and follow good construction practices.
