Foundation slab, which is an industrial concrete floor for a parking lot, what should you pay attention to when making it?
A foundation slab that is used as an industrial concrete floor for parking lots must be constructed to the highest standards of safety, strength and durability.
That is why choosing the right material and method of making the base plate is so important. Below we present some of the most important factors that are worth paying attention to when performing it.
The foundation slab of parking lots must be able to withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. Therefore, an industrial floor made of high-strength concrete should be made. Its exposure class should be appropriately high. This is very important, especially when the parking lot is located outdoors and exposed to rain, snow, frost or strong solar radiation.
Concrete industrial floor has difficult tasks to perform. Therefore, it should be properly reinforced. Reinforcement allows you to strengthen the structure, increasing its load-bearing capacity and resistance to external forces.
The foundation slab for parking lots should be of appropriate thickness to ensure adequate stability of the structure. Often the minimum board thickness is 20 cm, but in many cases a greater thickness may be needed, taking into account the expected loads.
Make sure that the surface of the foundation slab is as even as possible. This ensures greater safety and comfort of using the parking lot. An uneven surface can lead to damage to vehicles, but also increases the risk of accidents when, for example, a person trips over protruding edges in an industrial concrete floor.
One of the most important aspects to pay attention to when installing a concrete industrial floor foundation slab is ensuring proper water drainage. This protects the structure from damage caused by moisture and also prevents puddles from forming, which can lead to accidents.
Finally, remember to regularly inspect and maintain your concrete base. These activities are necessary to maintain the current efficiency and durability of the structure for many years. When it's time to make a concrete slab, use the services of concrete pumping.
To sum up, the selection and construction of a foundation slab for parking lots is a task that requires attention to detail and the use of appropriate materials. It is important to pay attention to factors such as material strength, reinforcement, slab thickness, surface evenness, and water drainage. All of this will impact the safety, performance and durability of the industrial concrete parking lot floor.
Waterproofing of industrial concrete floors. How to make?
Hydroisolation of industrial concrete floors is an essential step to prevent the destructive effect of water on concrete.
Both water-induced wetting and waterlogging can cause serious damage, resulting in costly renovations or even replacement of the entire floor. However, this process can be complicated, which forces many companies to devote a lot of time and resources to properly perform this task. In this article we explain how to waterproof industrial concrete floors.
The choice of the appropriate waterproofing material depends on ttype of load that the resin floor is supposed to absorb. For example, in places with high mechanical loads, such as production halls, it is worth using polymer waterproofing masses based on epoxy or polyurethane resins, which are characterized by high mechanical resistance.
Surface preparation is an important stage that affects the durability and effectiveness of the waterproofing used. The surface of an industrial concrete floor should be carefully cleaned, all loose mortar and concrete removed, and any substances that may disturb the adhesion of the waterproofing layer.
Application of a primer (primer) layer is a key step that helps create a stronger and more durable bond between the surface of polished concrete and the layer waterproofing. This layer not only provides better adhesion, but also increases the effectiveness and durability of the waterproofing.
The basic stage is, of course, applying the waterproofing layer itself. This process may involve additional hardening, and the composition of the material used often requires that the work be performed under specific atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity). Please ensure that the layer is applied to the industrial concrete floor evenly over the entire surface, maintaining the thickness recommended by the manufacturer.
Once the waterproofing layer has been applied, quality checks should be carried out over the entire surface to ensure that the process was carried out correctly. Inspections should include checking for air bubbles and whether the layer is damaged or cracked. When it comes to safety, don't forget about safety barriers.
Waterproofing of industrial concrete floors is a key protection that protects the investment against the costly replacement of a damaged floor. Performing it correctly is the basis for long and trouble-free operation of such a surface.
