Co-ordinate all stages of industrial flooring project to specification & deadline.
Nationwide Concreting complete a new industrial project for EC Harris at Commerce Park, Frome. The first stage of completion consisted of 2 pours at 1011m2 each. The concrete slabs were 175mm thick and each pour was 177m3 and was supplied by Morris & Perry ready mix concrete. The slabs were reinforced with a layer of A142 mesh and 50mm insulation boards placed under the slab.
- The concrete slabs were designed to be 175mm thick, providing the necessary strength and durability for an industrial setting. Each pour involved 177 cubic meters of concrete, supplied by Morris & Perry ready mix concrete. This ensured a consistent mix and quality across the entire slab.
- The pours were executed in two stages, with each stage covering 1011 square meters. This phased approach allowed for precise control over the pouring process, ensuring uniformity and quality.
- A crucial aspect of the slab construction was the reinforcement. A layer of A142 mesh was incorporated into the slabs to enhance their structural integrity. This steel mesh provided the necessary reinforcement to support heavy industrial loads and prevent cracking.
- Additionally, 50mm insulation boards were placed beneath the concrete slabs. These insulation boards helped in maintaining the temperature of the concrete during curing, ensuring optimal strength and durability. They also contributed to the overall energy efficiency of the building by providing thermal insulation.
- The concrete was carefully poured and spread evenly across the prepared area. Precision was key, and the team used advanced leveling techniques to ensure that the slabs were perfectly flat and smooth.
- Throughout the process, strict quality control measures were in place. The team continuously monitored the consistency of the concrete, the placement of the reinforcement, and the positioning of the insulation boards. Any deviations were corrected immediately to maintain the high standards of the project.
The initial phase of the project was completed successfully, with both concrete pours meeting the stringent quality standards set by EC Harris. The reinforced and insulated slabs provided a robust foundation for the new industrial facility at Commerce Park, Frome.
