Are your warehouse floor joints causing you problems?

The Problem

Concrete floor joints are a necessary evil when it comes to the design and installation of concrete floor slabs. Joints are a critical requirement to control shrinkage as part of concrete’s hydration and drying process following placement.

These joints however are the most common place for a concrete floor defect to occur with joint breakdown inevitable. Common problems experienced from joint breakdown include:

  • Warehouse operational output downtime
  • Reduced operational efficiency
  • Forklift truck wheel damage and repair costs
  • Concrete floor joint maintenance repair costs
  • Health and safety risk increase for warehouse operatives

Concrete floor life-cycle maintenance, cleaning and repair is to be expected as part of owning, managing and maintaining an asset such as a concrete floor, however, there are initial solutions available to reduce these inevitable life-cycle risks, costs and requirements.
