Level Best Concrete Flooring has constructed the first warehouse concrete floor slab in the UK using a system created using both steel fibre reinforcement in conjunction with steel post tensioned bars. The flooring system is not only joint free, but also cracks free as the shrinkage is controlled using the hybrid reinforcement. This “joint free floor slab” was cast in one day with the industrial concrete flooring contractors utilising one of their light remote controlled laser screeds to reduce weight on the membrane during trafficking and concrete install. Although technically more complicated to construct than a more traditional warehouse concrete floor, Level Best managed to overcome any potential design and install problems using “out of the box” thinking and vast experience in floor slab technology. The “joint free floor” has many benefits to end users such as extremely low maintenance, easy to clean and keep hygienic, high surface abrasion resistance, high impact resistance and cost effective for the right uses. Not only has the floor slab no joints, but it also has no shrinkage related cracking, a unique scenario for concrete poured in mass during the summer months. The final finish of the joint free floor is outstanding and the client Level Best will benefit and enjoy this maintenance free floor for years to come.
Business Development Manager for the contractor Mr Matthew Lill quotes “ with innovation in concrete flooring our tag line, we are proud to be the first contractor in the UK to carry out the installation of a totally joint free warehouse concrete floor slab”. “we see many potential benefits for warehouse operators and end users particularly in cold stores, waste recycling facilities and heavily trafficked factory floors where the joint free floor would improve their operations and reduce MHE costs and operator fatigue says Matthew”.
