Steel Props Supplied to Cuba for Urban Construction

Strengthening Concrete Construction Across Cuba

Cuba's construction sector is evolving to meet the growing demand for safer, faster, and more durable building methods. Amid efforts to upgrade housing and infrastructure, HAMAC contributed to this progress by exporting a shipment of adjustable steel props - a practical and efficient tool used for supporting horizontal concrete structures such as slabs and beams during the casting phase.

These props are now in use at multiple sites across the island, supporting both residential buildings and commercial developments. Their versatility, strength, and simple assembly process have made them a preferred choice among local contractors and construction crews.

Flexible Design for Diverse Building Styles

In Cuba, where buildings often vary in height and architectural style, construction tools must be adaptable to a wide range of applications. HAMAC’s adjustable steel props offer just that - a telescopic system that allows for quick height changes, enabling contractors to efficiently shore structures from floor to ceiling without custom fabrication.

Whether used in single-level residential projects or multi-storey frameworks, the props provide critical vertical support while concrete sets, ensuring alignment and structural integrity. Their ease of use also supports labor-saving workflows on sites where skilled manpower may be limited.

Engineered to Perform in Tropical Conditions

Cuba’s tropical climate poses specific challenges for construction equipment, including humidity and salt-laden air in coastal regions. HAMAC addressed this by applying corrosion-resistant surface treatments to the steel props before shipping, ensuring long-term durability even under demanding weather conditions.

These protective coatings minimize rust and wear, extending the product’s usable lifespan and reducing maintenance costs for clients. As a result, Cuban builders have expressed confidence in reusing the props across multiple projects - a key factor in long-term return on investment.

Safe and Efficient Solutions for On-Site Operations

Safety and efficiency were two of the main drivers behind the client’s decision to import from HAMAC. Compared to traditional timber props or handmade supports, HAMAC’s adjustable steel props offer:

• ✔️ Precise load-bearing capacity
• ✔️ Fast installation and dismantling
• ✔️ Consistent dimensions and build quality
• ✔️ Better stacking, storage, and transportation

These features helped reduce project timelines and improved working conditions for laborers on the ground. Site managers particularly appreciated the intuitive handling and uniform sizing of each unit, which helped streamline formwork preparation and slab casting.

Continuing Support and Future Cooperation

The successful delivery and deployment of HAMAC’s steel props in Cuba marks a promising step toward long-term cooperation. The client has expressed satisfaction not only with the quality of the products, but also with the professional service and follow-up provided by HAMAC’s team. Discussions for future orders are already underway as construction momentum continues to build in the region.

HAMAC is committed to supporting infrastructure improvement efforts in Cuba and other Caribbean countries by providing reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use construction solutions. Our goal is to become a lasting partner in building stronger, safer communities through practical and affordable tools.
