About
GLP
The GLP Lightweight Beam is an innovative structural component featuring a trapezoidal corrugated web and plate flanges. This design enhances stability against buckling, allowing for longer spans and reduced material usage.
GLP
Lightweight Beam for high-performance span constructions
The solution of choice for durable and scalable structural projects
Key Features
Material Savings
Reduced need for web stiffeners and thinner webs result in material cost savings of 10–30% compared to conventional beams.
Longer Spans
High strength-to-weight ratio enables free spans up to 160 meters, minimizing the number of required columns.
Efficient Installation
The corrugated web provides higher resistance against bending, reducing the need for auxiliary lifting equipment during erection.

Why choose
GLP
?
The GLP Lightweight Beam is designed for high-performance, large-span constructions where weight, material efficiency, and structural stability are key. The corrugated web increases buckling resistance and eliminates the need for traditional stiffeners, resulting in up to 30% material savings compared to conventional I- or box beams.
GLP beams allow for free spans of up to 160 meters, reducing the number of columns required in your structure. They are ideal for roof girders, floor beams, frames, and load-bearing systems in industrial and architectural contexts. Thanks to their optimized geometry and reduced weight, GLP beams are easier to transport, lift, and install — making them both cost-efficient and construction-friendly.
Designed according to Eurocode standards and available with various corrosion protection options, GLP is the solution of choice for durable, scalable, and high-load structural projects.
