    75 mm

    Grillage footing is a special foundation used to spread heavy column loads over a larger area.
    It is made of steel beams arranged in layers (tiers), with each tier placed at right angles to the one below.
    Proper spacing between beams in each tier is essential for:
    Effective load distribution
    Avoiding overlapping or structural interference
    As per standard practice, the minimum clear spacing between the flanges of adjacent beams should be at least 75 mm.
