Post-Tensioned & Composite Deck Slab Solutions

Overview

Post-Tensioned Slab Systems: Enhanced Strength & Durability

EFIL offers innovative post-tensioning solutions engineered to optimize concrete performance by harnessing its superior compressive strength while mitigating its natural susceptibility to tensile stresses. Our post-tensioning technology uses high-strength steel strands, tensioned through specialized anchorage assemblies, to actively compress the concrete slab. This flexible steel strand configuration enables profiling through the slab, effectively counteracting applied loads and resulting in remarkably efficient structural behavior. By integrating post-tensioning with Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC), EFIL delivers a groundbreaking system that eliminates the need for traditional reinforcement while enhancing crack resistance and structural integrity. Our post-tensioned slabs on grade facilitate the significant reduction or total elimination of expansion and contraction joints, driving down both initial construction and ongoing maintenance costs. Fewer joints translate into smoother surfaces for forklift operators and vehicular traffic, minimizing wear and tear while enhancing operational comfort and safety. The compression induced by our post-tensioning system dramatically improves crack resistance, further reducing the likelihood of costly repairs and extending the slab’s service life. This combination positions EFIL’s post-tensioned floor systems as a cost-effective, long-lasting, and low-maintenance solution in line with global standards including TR-34 (4th Edition), ACI 360R, ASTM E1155, and ACI 302.1R.

FM3 Mezzanine and Deck Slabs: Precision Performance for Demanding Applications

With the surge in industrial growth and e-commerce, concrete floors are expected to deliver unparalleled flatness, speed, and structural performance. EFIL specializes in designing and constructing composite mezzanine and deck slabs with flatness meeting or exceeding FM3 specifications, providing durable flooring solutions that sustain high operational demands.

Concrete on Steel Deck Systems

Among the most widely used mezzanine floor constructions, concrete cast on profiled steel decking offers excellent formwork support while contributing structural strength during and after placement. Integration of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) effectively controls shrinkage cracking and mitigates stresses induced by moment forces.

EFIL’s expertise encompasses designing and installing superior FM3-grade composite floors on diverse steel deck systems, strictly adhering to UK’s TR75 technical guidelines. Our solutions ensure floors that deliver enhanced durability, load capacity, and flatness precision.

Mesh-Reinforced Composite Floor Slabs

Industrial and warehouse concrete floors must withstand substantial dynamic loads and vibrations, which often induce cracking. EFIL utilizes steel fabric reinforcement (mesh) to enhance the mechanical resilience of deck slabs, preventing damage from shrinkage and repetitive stresses.

Selection of appropriate steel decking and mesh grade is optimized based on slab load requirements and structural design considerations. With deep experience and equipment, EFIL delivers mesh-reinforced steel deck systems engineered in accordance with TR75 (UK) standards, ensuring robust, crack-resistant floors suited for demanding industrial environments.

EFIL’s advanced post-tensioned and composite deck slab technologies provide your industrial facility with flooring systems designed for optimal strength, durability, and operational efficiency—anchored in proven global standards and engineered for future-ready performance.
