Worth to know

Without a doubt, one of the most important elements of the building is the floor. It is the top layer, which exposes it to a number of different loads. The construction of the floor is associated with significant costs, which should be considered as the sum of expenses allocated for its incorporation and operation. Including maintenance, refurbishment and possible renovations.

The floor is usually the last element made in the facility, which it creates with the investor’s financial outlays ending. This increases the danger of saving and choosing cheaper and often  not adapted to the existing operating conditions solutions. Which, as a result, may lead to the rapid destruction of the  chosen person.

Repair of the floor is often associated with the exclusion of  the entire facility and infecting the user with financial losses .

Therefore, reliable design and careful execution of the floor is  an important issue, and a properly designed and made  equipment can be a showcase of an industrial facility.

Properly designed and made primer (concrete, screed , asphalt concrete) is decisive for ensuring proper usability and durability of the floor. For this reason, as much data as possible should be collected at the design stage  to  determine the factors affecting the operation of the floor.

The design solution should meet a number of technical, operational as well as economically  justified requirements .

The basic information necessary for  a good design should include:

• values of mechanical loads acting on the floor, including  loads occurring sporadically or once, resulting  from the assembly of production machines (eg. heavy transport or assembly equipment );
• chemical loads (concentration, temperature and time of exposure  of chemical substance) that are wrongly often overlooked in design
