The Future of Industrial Concrete Floor Slabs

Description

In the warehousing industry, including cold storage, the racking and material handling equipment have evolved and changed drastically but the not the good old concrete floor slab design and construction.

During this session, we will explain how concrete floors should be designed and built to better suit the new MHE and racking requirements, as well as the upmost importance of reducing carbon emission.

The concrete slabs of today and of the future should be thinner (using less concrete), jointless (without sawn joints) and using only armor joints (ideally with a sinusoidal top) for long lasting comfort of use without deterioration. The goal of jointless concrete slabs are to reduce carbon imprint and  maintenance while optimizing the use of MHE and the comfort and safety of operators.
