Vescom Composite Joists

[MacGruber22]

I can't seem to get design information for Vescom joists. I spoke with one of the owners and he said that he would send me literature. Never happened.

Does anyone have recent literature?

They appear to be conventional long span steel joists, with maybe a cold formed chord, top and bottom. They also appear to still be in business. Why are you selecting this particular manufacturer?

I am not selecting them. The property owner has some odd preference for them. Their preference may shift when they get the Hambro price.

They also appear to still be in business

I spoke to the owner of Vescom, so they are in business. They just seem to be oddly secretive and not used to engineers requesting their info. I think their typical business does not come from EOR's specifying their product. What I do know is they are not covered by SJI specifications, just like Hambro. They also do not have joist designations, which is odd too.
