The warehouse where the concrete floor was laid
A prestigious new warehouse at Markham Vale on a new industrial park off junction 29A of the M1 near Chesterfield required a high tolerance concrete floor slab.
Nationwide Concrete Flooring were contracted to install the powerfloated industrial concrete floor slab to the required surface tolerances. Due to the thermal values required for the building, insulation board was installed underneath the slab. This meant the readymix concrete had to be pumped as the insulation and steel fabric mesh reinforcement were all pre set prior to the casting of the concrete.
A dry shake surface hardener (sprinkle topping) supplied by Permaban was applied to the surface of the concrete floor slab to increase the abrasion resistance to category AR1. Due to the extreme weather temperatures a blended cement mix was used in the concrete to minimize risk of delamination between concrete surface and the shake sprinkle topping.
The client specified a flatness tolerance of FM2 special which other companies using direct discharge would have found difficult to achieve, but which Nationwide managed with ease by with a combination of its skilled workforce, pump laying and laser screed.
