PRECAST HOLLOWCORE FLOOR SOLUTIONS

INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

HIGH QUALITY DURABLE FLOOR SOLUTIONS

PRECAST HOLLOWCORE high quality floor solutions represent the fastest, most economical and most efficient way of installing floors and they guarantee extremely reliable quality for end users. PRECAST HOLLOWCORE products help shorten construction schedules due to their rapid installation, the possible absence of any need for further finishing and the fact that the floors are then immediately ready for use. Another advantage is their relatively large spans, which allow the number of support points to be reduced. This yields optimal design flexibility. Hollow core floors are used in all types of public buildings, industrial buildings, parking structures, apartments and in single family dwellings. Slabs for industrial buildings have span loads up to 18 metres. Thickness of the slab can vary from 200 to 400 mm. The prestressed hollow core floor slab has a guaranteed quality due to continuous in-factory process controls complying with AS/ANZ 9001:2000 requisites.

HANGERS
Fixings and support hangers should be installed strictly in accordance with the suppliers directions. Where heavy loads are to be supported, through-bolts to a distribution plate or beam may be required. These are required to be in accordance with the design engineers specification.

PENETRATIONS
Penetrations and block-outs in planks should not cut through the strand unless this has been allowed for in the design. Any coring on site should be restricted to defined parts of members. Where large penetrations are required full width headers may be used to support the end of a plank and transfer the load to adjacent planks. These planks must be designed for the additional load.
