Concrete Structural Floor

Heavy weight concrete mezzanine floor

Drawing detailing the requirements for a successful completion

 

Piling


It is essential to understand the weight load on each of the columns in order to establish the requirement for a stable foundation.  In this case, due to the weight of the equipment positioned onto this floor, we had to support the columns by means of piling.  (see below)

Piling drilled and filled with concrete and rebar

Prop floor on the main beam – middle only 12 props required
Underfloor Floor completed with a polyurethane screed for wipe clean and non-slip finish

ISO paneling installed onto mezzanine floor including – doorways – lift shafts – piping drainage

First Office Storage Concepts took on the challenge and successfully completed the immense task of designing
and installing a 2 ton per square meter Concrete Structural Mezzanine Floor.  324 Square meters of Structural
floor was erected in an existing facility while production continued.  Concrete was poured, finishing of
polyurethane screeds and installing Iso paneling including roofing was all done with great precision and
without interruption of business as usual.  Thanks to the team at First Office Storage Concepts and all the other
parties that participated to conclude this awesome project.
