The Problem
Industrial floors must support heavy racking, forklifts, and machinery without cracking, spalling, or excessive wear. Many failures occur because floors were designed as standard slabs rather than heavy-duty industrial floors.
Common Failures & Industry Observations
- Racking systems can impose local floor pressures exceeding 300–500 kPa at slab level.
- Forklift traffic contributes to over 80% of surface wear in warehouses and factories.
- Poor joint layout is responsible for nearly 50% of early slab cracking in industrial floors.
Why Heavy-duty Floors Fail
Uniform load assumptions do not reflect real industrial use. Concentrated loads at rack legs, repetitive traffic, and poorly coordinated joints create stress concentrations that lead to cracking and surface breakdown.
Our Services & How We Solve It
We design and construct heavy-duty concrete floors based on actual usage conditions:
- Load-based slab thickness and reinforcement design
- Joint planning coordinated with racking and traffic paths
- Surface treatments for abrasion and dust resistance
- Floors designed for forklifts, pallet loads, and future expansion
This ensures durability under continuous industrial operations.
