Carrs Warehouse comprised of 3000m2 area designed to accommodate bulk storage of grain for animal feeds.
The floor comprised of 250mm deep concrete slab comprising of top and bottom mesh fabric laid on a methane barrier. Both membrane and reinforcement were set up in advance to facilitate pre-pour inspection by Building Control Inspector.
Concrete was placed by means of mobile pumping equipment utilising a 32metre boom. The whole area was cast in two days.
The Somero Copperhead laser was the chosen method of construction. The Copperhead enabled laser technology to be utilised whilst working upon two layers of mesh. The laser screed striked off the concrete to finished floor level whilst automatically vibrating and smoothing the concrete surface.
Power floating was carried out by ride on power floats. Upon completion of power floating operations an acrylic seal was applied by pneumatic spray machine to satisfy curing requirements. The following day our saw cutting team arrived on site to mark out and cut induced joints as engineers detail and vacuum clean all joints in readiness for joint sealants.
BAE Building610 Samlebury, This project offered a major challenge to both the technical and operational teams of TCF Limited.
The project required in excess of 10000m2 of concrete floors to slab depth ranging from 300mm to 1.6meters all heavily congested with rebar. Daily concrete requirements ranged from 80 cubic meters to in excess of 500 cubic meters all to be within a surface regularity of FM2 in accordance with Concrete Society Advisory document TR34 2003 edition Various joint detailing methods were utilised to both protect and support the joint arris whilst maintain load transfer.
Typical loading requirements varied from 100Kn racking leg loads to a static point load of the storage footing of 250KN
We are pleased to confirm that the project was a complete success achieving both early completion and full compliance with engineer’s specification. Floor tolerance survey was carried out by independent floor checking engineers Combined Flooring Services Limited to satisfy both the client BE Systems and Bam Construction Limited regarding FM2 in accordance with TR 34 Concrete Advisory document .Based on a survey of 28 runs of floor area 100% compliance was achieved.
Unirail from Metstop , Gets to the core of the job at Project Apple
With 3,000m2 to pour on metal deck, Technic Floors would have traditionally used timber to provide a stop end and a level for the days pour. Instead they chose to use the Unirail from Metstop to save time and money, and to provide their client with a higher quality finish.
By replacing the use of timber with the Unirail 70/90 they saved time in the set up. Unirail comes with feet that are screwed to the metal deck. These feet allow the installer to adjust the rail to the correct height by use of a large locking screw.
The concrete is poured with the rail acting as a leveling mechanism and a stop end. If a bow in the deck occurs during the pour, the locking screws can be released to allow the rail to be re-adjusted to the correct height then tightened again to ensure that the correct depth of concrete is used.
The major benefit of using the Unirail instead of timber is that no time is wasted the next day stripping it out and potentially damaging the edge of the concrete. It also ensures a very smooth transition from one slab to another.
By using Unirail from Metstop , Technic Floors provided their client with a very high quality finish, on time and on budget.
