Nationwide Concrete Flooring are now building up a reputation within this fairly buoyant market place and the unique system adopted for internal concrete floor slabs used for bulk storage is proving rather popular. Photographed is our very latest project carried out on behalf of Yorkshire Feedstuffs Limited of Goole, East Yorkshire.
Our client was impressed with our innovative ideas on how to deal with the existing internal concrete floor slab and the interface details we put forward to improve the longevity of both of the internal concrete floor slabs. Shown in the photograph is our Nationwide concrete drilling and dowelling system which installs the 600mm steel bars at centres to suit the design. The Nationwide concrete drilling and dowelling system offers an extremely safe, quick and accurate solution to what can be a very difficult job. The purpose of the dowel is to help transfer the load from one section of the internal concrete floor slab to the other whilst being trafficked. This will then minimise any damage caused at the interface due to heavy trafficking from both loading shovel and delivery wagons. (For further details on the Nationwide EZ Drill concrete drilling and dowelling system please see our concrete dowelling page. on web site)
The internal concrete floor slab also received our other now typical details suitable for any concrete floor used for agricultural bulk storage which is our “Tight Bladed” finish to the concrete floor slab and our own Nationwide Instant Seal 101 joint sealant used in the saw cut induced contraction joints. The Instant Seal 101 joint sealant provides protection the joints to minimise break down of the edges, stops ingress into the joint of the bulk material, allows immediate trafficking of the sealed floor slab joints and aids maintenance of the concrete floor slab for the end user. (For further details on the Instant Seal 101 and other joint sealant services we offer please see sealant section on Contracts section of the web site)
