Engineered specifically to withstand the harsh Australian climate and demanding job sites.
Australia’s construction and civil engineering sectors are experiencing rapid transformation. With massive infrastructure initiatives underway across the Eastern Seaboard—including the Sydney Metro, Melbourne Suburban Rail Loop, and significant road and bridge construction in Queensland—efficiency, safety, and component longevity have become paramount. In modern concrete formwork design, the H20 Timber Beam serves as the foundational structural element, distributing loads from concrete slabs and walls directly to the supporting shoring systems.
Under the rigid frameworks of AS 3610 (Formwork for Concrete) and AS/NZS 4357 (Structural Laminated Veneer Lumber), components must meet strict limits for bending stiffness, shear strength, and overall material reliability. The high cost of domestic labor in Australia means that construction sites require light, robust, and easily handled formwork components that dramatically reduce cycle times. H20 beams meet these challenges perfectly, providing a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional timber joists or heavy steel alternatives.
Standard H20 timber beams must withstand rigorous bending moments ($M$) up to $5.0 \text{ kNm}$ and shear force capabilities ($Q$) of at least $11.0 \text{ kN}$. Utilizing non-compliant timber beams runs the risk of localized collapse, excessive deflection, and concrete surface finish failures. That is why working directly with certified Chinese manufacturing facilities offers not only a significant cost advantage but guarantees engineered consistency.
Zhuozhan Group is a diversified and innovative enterprise that seamlessly integrates scientific research, manufacturing, and sales. With a robust portfolio of subsidiaries, including Laoting Zhuozhan International Trade Co., Ltd. and Hebei Shuangyang Metal Structure Co., Ltd., Zhuozhan Group has firmly established itself as a key player in the construction and manufacturing industries.
Founded in 2014, Hebei Shuangyang Metal Structure is a pivotal subsidiary that has rapidly advanced to the forefront of the industry, occupying a total area of 13,132.68 square meters, with a construction area of 7,124.58 square meters. The company operates with more than 500 skilled employees and is equipped with over 150 sets of advanced machinery and equipment. Over the years, Shuangyang has successfully secured 15 patents, demonstrating its strong commitment to innovation. The company’s impressive production capabilities include an annual output of 300,000 tons of steel pipes, 1 million tons of scaffolding, and 400,000 tons of adjustable steel supports, making it a critical supplier to both domestic and international markets.
Importing timber components into Australia requires careful compliance with biosecurity laws (governed by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) and local structural design codes. Our manufacturing plants ensure that all H20 timber beams destined for the Australian market are treated and manufactured using premium timber species (such as Spruce, Pine, or Douglas Fir), combined with high-grade structural webs (3-ply solid wood panel or Laminated Veneer Lumber - LVL) bound with premium weather-resistant melamine/phenolic WBP glues.
Our commitment to quality goes hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility. Production lines are optimized to control emissions and reuse waste materials. Here is a breakdown of our advanced production processes for both vertical and horizontal elements, highlighting our rigorous control over potential pollutants:
Sizing structural steel pipes. Generates noise (N) and solid waste (S) which are safely managed.
Precision punching of locking components. Generates noise (N) and steel scrap for recycling (S).
Welding the pipe to disc parts. Generates minor waste gas (G) treated with environmental extractors.
Outsourced hot-dip galvanizing to ensure a rust-resistant layer exceeding 10 years of lifespan.
Raw steel pipes are measured and cut (generating noise and steel offcuts).
Punching holes in structural tubing for fastener engagement.
Automatic welding with casting black parts. Uses fume extractors to capture exhaust.
Riveting inserts with outsourced galvanized parts. Finished product is ready for transport.
The ring lock scaffolding and structural timber beams manufactured by Zhuozhan Industry have passed multiple international quality certifications (such as EN 12810/12811, ISO 9001). We utilize high-strength materials (including Q355B structural steel and premium grade spruce timber) to guarantee a long service life, ease of modular installation, and excellent safety metrics on site.

Yes. Our export-quality H20 timber beams are engineered to meet the mechanical and structural performance criteria outlined in Australian Standard AS 3610.1 (Formwork for Concrete). The bending stiffness (EI) and shear load properties are strictly audited using high-grade wood panels and moisture-controlled LVL flanges to ensure reliability under heavy concrete loads.
We primarily utilize high-density Nordic Spruce or structurally rated Pine for the flanges, and premium 3-ply structural panels or LVL for the web. Prior to shipping to Australia, all timber components undergo biosecurity-compliant treatments (such as kiln drying or heat treatment) to meet the strict entry requirements of the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
Our Hebei Shuangyang factory maintains a continuous testing process. The moisture content of the wood is dried and stabilized to 12% - 14% to prevent warping, shrinkage, or deformation in the arid parts of Australia. Furthermore, the structural glue line uses WBP Melamine or Phenolic resin, passing 24-hour boiling tests to guarantee against delamination.
As a key division of Zhuozhan Group, Hebei Shuangyang Metal Structure operates on a total area of 13,132.68 square meters with over 150 advanced machines. We achieve an annual output of over 1 million tons of scaffolding components, 400,000 tons of adjustable steel props, and thousands of cubic meters of engineered timber beams, ensuring rapid turnaround times for major projects in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
