Hollow Core Floor Slabs

Sample Image

Hollow core slabs are precast, prestressed concrete elements that are generally used for flooring. Some of there advantages are as follows:

The slabs have between four and six longitudinal cores running through them, the primary purpose of the cores being to decrease the weight, and material within the floor, yet maintain maximal strength. To further increase the strength, the slabs are reinforced with 12 mm diameter steel strand, running longitudinally.

Currently we offer a range of four slab depths; 200, 220, 300 and 320 millimetre slabs. Depending on the project requirements, in particular span and loading performance, a particular slab depth is chosen.
