Warehouse Floors Expansion Joints Case Study
What they needed
Deteriorating expansion joints were found within the isles of a large multi-national distribution centre which was working 6 days a week.
Due to injury claims from sprained wrists and truck damage to wheels and bearings, costs began to add up.
What we did
The following repair and reinstatement project was carried out by Maintenance Supplies Contracts.
We removed the carpet which revealed the floor, a new sound substrate was prepared in preparation for the new floor.
A252 steel reinforcing mesh was supplied and laid then 160m3 of C35 concrete (30 wagon loads) was poured in a single day.
During the night the slab was power floating with two ‘ride on’ machines. 226 linear meters of expansion joints were cut with a floor saw to provide a perfect medium for our client to deliver a highly durable floor within the logistics industry.
Client feedback
The client was thrilled with their new floor and said they were happy with the installation being carried out throughout the night without work being disruption.
