Internal Concrete Floor

Project: 16,000m2
Work carried out: Internal Concrete Floor
Specification: Durus @ 4kg /m3
Concrete: RC40

The original design was for a 200mm thick slab, with C32/40 concrete reinforced with a top layer of A142 steel reinforcing mesh. ADFIL worked with the client and contractor a revised design was proposed which eliminated the need for the layer of A142 mesh and all the other associated costs were removed.

Durus enhanced concrete gave the contractor the benefit of placing the concrete both directly from the truck mixer and in restricted areas through a pump.

Health and safety hazards connected with using steel mesh reinforcement were removed and the project was completed 4 weeks ahead of schedule. This enabled the client to open up the processing unit early and increased the Company profit.
