Metallic Long Bay

RAM Construction, Inc. is pleased to offer you a win-win solution for your large-scale project roofing needs. The patented Long Bay® System (LBS) is custom engineered to accommodate structures requiring expanded areas of open floor space, while allowing for uncommon flexibility in architectural design.

You'll find LBS enables you to achieve an ideal balance of alignment and functionality for such structures as manufacturing facilities, warehouses and retail buildings. Open web truss sub-framing provides roof support and simplifies the installation of mechanical and electrical systems. Less bridging, fewer footings and a reduced number of columns result in significant overall cost savings, while compatibility with multiple wall and roofing systems gives you increased flexibility in construction design.
