305 x 305 x 97 kg Universal Column S355
Rolled as a universal column measuring 307.8 × 304.8 mm, the 305 x 305 x 97 kg Universal Column S355 is the section you reach for when the member stands up and carries load down. The near-square geometry gives a much better minor-axis radius of gyration than a beam of the same weight, which is what keeps slenderness — and therefore buckling — under control over storey heights.

At 97 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 10.3 linear metres. This is a substantial member. Connection design, bearing detail and temporary stability all deserve attention at the drawing stage. Held in S355 to BS EN 10025-2 and cut to length before it leaves the yard. Mill certificates accompany every load, and any fabrication is executed under our BS EN 1090 EXC 3 factory production control.
Typically specified for multi-storey load paths, building stanchions, storey-height posts, baseplate-mounted columns and goalpost frame legs.
If the column is exposed in the finished building, specify the finish early: blast-cleaning and priming are done before fabrication marks are covered.
