One of the major issues facing an external pavement is the required jointing. Unless regularly maintained, generally yearly and in some cases monthly these external pavements are destined to fail at some point. This can cause reduced productivity due to the failure in the slab joints and during any repairs that need to be carried out, unfortunately repairs tend to be just a band aid never really fixing the underlying issue, the joint has failed.
This is where Dramix Combi Slab can reduce and in many cases remove all the joints including saw cuts and dowelled joints, leaving a surface that will require little or no maintenance at all.

Speak to us about your next project and how Dramix Combi Slab can benefit and add value to your project.

This 48,000m2 floor area facility will be used to store tobacco leafs, process and final packaging.

Initial design was using 40kg/m3 loose low performing type fibre. With the combined effort with our partner Infratex Environmental Services Philippines Inc – Bekaert®’s proposal was to use a high performance fibre floor solution at a lower dose rate. By using Dramix 3D 80/60BG, the dose rate can be reduced offering significant saving to the main contractor.

This was an internal slab for a recycling facility with heavy equipment and forklifts. Dramix 4D Combi Slab was used to remove all the joints and the inherent ongoing maintenance cost associated with saw cuts having to be re-sealed and saw cuts not initiating.

The new Perth BUSPORT required a water tight raft slab. BOSFA were able to support the design engineer’s BG&E to produce calculations for their nominated crack width.

Over a year since the Dramix Combi Slabs were placed at the Ceva Vehicle Logistics facility in Pinkenba and they remain in excellent condition. The saw-cut free fully restrained Combi Slab solution was chosen to accommodate some heavy loads, along with the poor ground conditions. And whilst other areas are suffering from ground support issues, the Internal Warehouse slabs are performing perfectly with no such concerns.

Douglas Constructions look to Dramix again for the best solution to their latest project, a new warehouse facility at Geebung in Queensland for National Glass. Not only were they able to speed up the project to meet the tight timeframe, but they were able to use a number of different design solutions to accommodate the varying areas within the facility. The 12,500m2 warehouse was supplied by Boral Concrete and placed by ShepCon in a short timeframe, and included areas of saw-cut slabs, saw-cut free Jointless slabs, and a combination of fibre and conventional mesh in some areas.

Douglas Constructions, along with Malcolm Douglas Consultants, choose Dramix steel fibre again as the best solution for their Walsh Family Transport warehouse project at Berrinba QLD. Stage 1 of the warehouse facility was 5800m2 and was able to be supplied by Neilsens Concrete and placed by ShepCon Contracting in just over a week, helping to achieve the very tight deadline for the project.

Douglas Constructions propose another Dramix steel fibre solution to Dexus Property Group for their new warehouse facility at Larapinta as a faster, cost effective, and overall better solution. The 23,000m2 warehouse was supplied by Holcim Concrete and poured by Bess Concrete to an outstanding quality in a very short timeframe.

Not only did ACFS build 50,000m2 of completely seamless Dramix Combi Slab external pavement, but they also used Dramix for their Internal Warehouse slabs and their Pad Footings at their Port of Brisbane facility.
