HOLLOW CORE SLABS

Pre stressed hollow core slabs are the most widely used type of precast concrete flooring system due to the highly efficient design and production methods, and choices of depth and Capacity Hollow core slabs are primarily used horizontally as floor, roof deck systems and bridge deck units, and are also used vertically as wall panels and boundary wall panels.

The continuous voids, or cores, in the hollow core slabs provide the reduced light weight and the thermal and acoustic characteristics.

Hi Tech manufactures different thickness of hollow core slabs ranging from 150 mm up to 500 mm thick Hi Tech is one of the very few companies that provide hollow core slabs with 1200 mm width Slabs with narrower width can be provided based on design requirements. Depending on the load conditions, slabs with relatively long spans can be designed, produced and erected at site.

Hi Tech’s hollow core production facility is equipped with the latest European Elematic EL) computerized casting equipment and machinery including multi stressing devices, diamond cutting saws, and an automated batching plant.

Openings and holes can be formed in hollow core slabs within the limitations imposed due to slab thickness, span, loading, location of strands, core size and position. Small holes are usually made at the site after erecting the slabs by rotary drill. Fastenings to hollow core slabs are easy to achieve and various methods are suitable to support suspended ceilings, services, and the top of walls.
