It is not uncommon, even today, that clients, designers and engineers underestimate the impact of a concrete floor to the operations of a production or logistics facility. there are many factors that contribute to a successful floor which are often overlooked and sometimes even not considered at all. Material selection, construction method, equipment, suitable specifications and constant communication amongst the client, designer and contractor are essential for the appropriate distribution of responsibility and thus the success of a modern industrial floor.
Let's not forget that the floor is subject daily to extreme loads, traffic and wear and tear as a result of the operation of the facility. The rest of the building's main purpose is to protect the personnel, equipment and merchandise from the elements. If the floor fails the operation capacity of the facility is noticeably reduced.
