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.

Application: Dramix 3D
54,000m2 of Jointless Internal Warehouse slabs, and 45,000m2 of External Pavement, all reinforced with Dramix steel fibre. The Internal slabs were designed to have no saw-cuts to minimise maintenance under hard wheeled forklifts, and to accommodate up to 12.7 Tonne post loads from the installed racking. The External pavements loads of B-Double semi-trailers and associated handling equipment.
The major components of this project constructed in Forrestfield, Western Australia for
Western Power consists of three large bund areas which are designed with a crack width criteria
of 0.2mm, this was achieved by using a combined reinforcing method of DRAMIX
steel fibres and traditional reinforcing.

Restraint conditions
Client requirement no joints
Time restraints for const.
Detailing the slab with joints to guarantee avoiding uncontrolled cracking under service stresses wouldn’t have been possible. The Dramix® 4D Combi Slab solution took this restraint into account and enabled the construction of a joint free floor.
