Powerfloated and polished concrete floor slab
Nationwide Concrete Flooring carried out the sub base trimming using a laser-guided sub base compact leveller, the laying of the internal concrete grain store floor and external concrete floor slabs using the Somero laser screed.
A polypropylene reinforced concrete mix was designed for both the internal and external concrete floors to a depth of 150mm. For concrete floor slab designs of this nature the working platform and substrate must be of excellent quality as once used the concrete floor slabs will be heavily trafficked.
The laser-guided compact sub base leveller can lay the sub base to tolerances of + or – 10mm from overall datum. This not only ensures the sub base is even with no ruts but also controls concrete volume consumption.
The polished grain store concrete floor was cast in just one day, with the saw cut contraction joints installed the following day. Pouring concrete using flood pour laser screed techniques means that the number of day joints within the slab are either negated or minimised. This is particularly important for grain or bulk storage concrete floors as the loading shovels do not catch the top of the day joints with their front buckets.
