H Beams.

Zoomup

You are working in a steel framed building. Would you ever drill holes in load bearing steel H beams?

    drilling  a hole is the last resort if there is no way around it. most likely things get clipped on the beams. I've seen electrical containments go through beams with 600mmx 200mm size hole but that was agreed with the steel work engineer and fire proofed. 
     

    so in general it does happen but with today suppliers and variety of clips, how good they are, it is hard to justify a hole through beams.
