Straub Metal Processing Warehouse (DE)

Description

Our customer requested an economic and low-risk solution, including a design verification for a 1,500 m² industrial slab. The building owner is a medium sized metal processing company in the southern part of Germany. The conditions set by our customers were for the slab to be crack-free and to bear forklift with 55 kN front axle load+rack loads of 34 kN per post (back to back) and truck load with total weight of 30 tons. Contec Fiber created a solution based on our micro-synthetic fibre Fibrofor High Grade in combination with bottom layer steel mesh (Ø6mm – 150 x 150 mm) with a slab thickness of 200 mm and a saw cut joint distances of 5.80 x 6.00 m.
Thanks to our partner Fabrino in Germany for supporting this project to satisfy our valuable client Rudolf Hörmann GmbH & Co. KG.

Advantages of Fibrofor High Grade Solution:

  • Less steel – cost reduction (material and labour)
  • No corrosion – longer service life
  • Less CO₂ – environmentally friendlier (EPD certified)
  • No visible fibres on the surface
  • Massive reduction of early shrinkage cracks
