Bosfa/Flooring/Internal Slab/Page 2

The project was designed under ‘crack width’ consideration. With benefit of steel fibre, we could utilize the performance of steel fibre together with conventional reinforcement to act as moment resistance and crack control at the same time. The design provided a cost effective solution which met both ultimate and serviceability requirements.

High performance steel fibre Dramix®  4D plus mesh was used to carry 140kN post load. The Combi Slab solution makes it possible to design a monolithic slab, without joints, to meet tight rotation requirements from ASRS supplier. Providing an exceptional finished product.

Coca Cola Amatil new Distribution Facility in Queensland Australia, a 30,000m2 warehouse. This warehouse includes 9,000m2 of High-Bay Racking with an automated storage handling system. At 35 metres high, and with post loads of 27 Tonnes, the most suitable solution was a Seamless Combi Slab.   The remaining 21,000m2 uses our more typical Jointless slabs with Dramix 3D 65/60BG at 30kg/m3. With Dramix 4D initialised in the many foundations on the project as well.   McVeigh consulting engineers worked very closely with BOSFA and Bekaert® in determining the right solution for the Combi Slab to accommodate the different sorts of loading that will be applied to the slab. And they were able to utilise our Bekaert® Software to confirm the designs themselves for the fibre only slabs and the foundations.  A great example of everyone working together, with the tools available, to achieve the best possible solution in multiple applications on the one high profile project.

The new 27,000sqm Northline facility in Regency Park, South Australia utilised the tried and tested Dramix fibre only jointless solution for the internal slabs. With the external slabs adopting a Dramix Combi Slab, enabling the removal of all saw cuts and all dowelled joints from the pavement. Having no joints makes for the most efficient design with the additional benefit of long term reduced maintenance cost with the removal of costly jointing systems.

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.

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.
