Following the Northridge earthquake, SidePlate Systems introduced an unprecedented steel connection technology that revolutionized the way steel frame structures were built for high seismic, blast and progressive collapse load conditions - saving 1-4psf in frame tonnage. Now, with SidePlate FRAME™, there are no CJP welds, less weld and plate material, and shop and field man-hours are significantly reduced for shop fabrication and field erection. Which means SidePlate FRAME™ now saves money on virtually any steel frame construction project—of any size, worldwide.  Plus, our breakthrough technology decreases construction time while delivering more connection performance than SidePlate Technology has already been known for.
