Metal Decking & Concreting - Accommodation Bath

Client:

RGB Group

Location:

Roseberry Place, Bath

Area:

4,467m2 Comflor 60 1.2mm gauge decking and concrete, 899m of 275mm girth edge trim and 13,424 19x120mm welded studs

Methodology:

Install metal decking and concrete floor slabs for blocks B&C (A&D to follow) 

Production Process: High-Performance Comflor 60 Decking Installation

The project began with the installation of Comflor 60 metal decking, a high-performance steel decking system commonly used in multi-storey buildings for its strength, durability, and ease of installation. The 1.2mm gauge decking was laid across an area of 4,467m², providing the foundation for the concrete floor slabs.

This particular decking system was chosen for its ability to deliver a composite floor solution, where the steel decking works in tandem with the concrete to provide a structurally robust floor. The decking also allowed for the incorporation of services such as electrical conduits and pipework, making it an ideal choice for this accommodation project.

In addition to the decking installation, our team installed 899m of 275mm girth edge trim. This edge trim was critical for providing a clean, straight edge to the floor slabs while also ensuring that the concrete remained contained during the pouring process.

The installation of 13,424 19x120mm welded studs was a key aspect of the project. These studs were welded onto the steel beams at regular intervals to create a strong bond between the decking and the concrete, improving the structural integrity of the final floor system. This was a meticulous process that required precision and expertise to ensure the studs were evenly distributed and securely welded.

Concrete Reinforcement and Pours

Once the metal decking installation was complete, our concrete reinforcement team moved in to lay the A252 mesh and spacers. The A252 mesh is a type of steel reinforcement that is essential for adding strength to the concrete slabs, helping to prevent cracking and providing long-term durability, especially in areas of high load.

The concrete pouring phase required careful planning and coordination. Over the course of the project, we completed eight separate pours to cover the main floor areas, followed by an additional two pours to cover extra sections of the building. Our team worked efficiently to ensure that each pour was completed seamlessly, with no interruptions to the overall construction schedule.

Concrete Finishing: Achieving a Smooth, Durable Surface

Once the concrete was poured, our experienced concrete finishing team took over to ensure a high-quality finish. Using bull floats, the team carefully smoothed and leveled the surface of the freshly laid concrete, ensuring that it was perfectly even and free of imperfections. The bull floating process is crucial in creating a durable, easy float finish that not only looks clean but also performs well under the daily stresses of a busy accommodation building.

By employing an easy float finish, we achieved a surface that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, providing a flat and smooth base that will withstand the heavy foot traffic expected in this type of residential environment.

Outcome: A Structurally Sound Flooring Solution

The successful completion of the metal decking and concrete floor installation at Roseberry Place marked another milestone for Nationwide Concreting. By utilizing advanced materials like Comflor 60 decking and incorporating precise welding and reinforcement techniques, we delivered a structurally sound, durable, and high-performing flooring system.

Our ability to manage every aspect of the installation--from decking to concrete pouring and finishing--ensured a streamlined process that met the RGB Group's high standards for quality and safety. The finished floors provide a robust foundation for the accommodation units, capable of withstanding the rigours of daily use while offering long-term durability.
