Web Plates

Steel web plates are strong, flat steel components used to form reliable connections in structural steelwork. In Kenya, web plates are commonly used in beam connections, column connections, and general steel fabrication where a clean, bolted or welded joint is required. Because the web area of a beam carries major shear forces, a well-made web plate helps improve stability and load transfer in many steel structures.

Our web plates in Kenya are cut to size and prepared for fast fabrication. Whether you need web plates for industrial buildings, warehouses, platforms, walkways, or custom steel frames, these plates offer dependable performance on site. They are ideal for contractors and fundis looking for consistent quality and accurate dimensions.

Web plates are often specified alongside other connection plates like gusset plates, splice plates, stiffener plates, and base plates. In heavier connections, a web doubler plate (reinforcement plate) may be added to strengthen the beam web and reduce local buckling in high-stress zones. This is a common detail in professional steel detailing and fabrication work.

Common uses in Kenya

• Beam-to-beam and beam-to-column connections

• Structural frames for warehouses and steel buildings

• Brackets, cleats/fin-plate type connections, and support plates

• Reinforcement as web doubler plates where needed

Steel web plates are structural components made of steel, typically used in bridges or buildings, designed to distribute loads evenly and provide stability through a network of interconnected plate elements.
