Introducing faster, more affordable concrete flooring solutions In a building environment with rising costs and increasing technical demands, Allied Concrete have applied their expertise to provide a range of solutions which offer savings without compromising on quality.
READY Floor A large percentage of buildable ground in NZ is considered ‘Good Ground’- a technical classification in NZS3604 (Typically TC1 ground in Christchurch). Allied Concrete’s READY Floor offers a proven, Product Certified (CodeMark) alternative to a traditional 3604 foundation and flooring design. This means it has been tested pre-approved and will be accepted by council explains Allied Concrete national sales and marketing manager Dave Barker.
“
With READY Floor, the reinforcing is already in the concrete so you save time and it costs less than traditional foundations. - Dave Barker
”
READY Floor can be used for concrete house slabs, shops, warehouses or any lightly loaded concrete floor. Try the cost calculator on www.alliedconcrete.co.nz to see how much you could save compared to using traditional steel reinforcing.
“READY Floor’s CodeMark certified alternative to 3604 foundations not only meets the standards of the Building Code but by not needing the traditional steel reinforcing, you can start your building project with significant savings.” Dave says. READY Floor Foundation
READY Super Slab When you are looking to build on ground not deemed ‘Good Ground’ a Specific Engineered Design (SED) is required. Allied Concrete has developed a concrete flooring product which allows for an engineered foundation system regardless of your technical category and, according to Southern Foundations Ltd director Bevan McKeich, that’s not the only area READY Super Slab excels.
“READY Super Slab provides a far more earthquake resilient flooring system, which is warmer, stronger and quicker to build than traditional flooring systems.” Bevan says. Southern Foundations is a registered installer of READY Super Slab and Bevan says the product is a cost competitive foundation system which is fully accepted with territorial authorities.
Beam grills within the concrete slab provide a stiffer and stronger final product. Because of this inherent strength, a deepened perimeter footing can usually be omitted. Allied Concrete utilises a deeper pod within its READY Super Slab, which produces an even stronger finish against competing products.
“
READY Super Slab cuts the construction time for the foundation considerably. - Bevan McKeich
”
“A Super Slab foundation can be built in four days from start to finish and this will significantly reduce your construction costs.”
