Constant very high temperatures and high
loads cause high damage to stone or concrete
floors.
Last year we re-lined a floor in the steel collis
warehouse with UHPC HT. The freshly rolled
steel collis have an average weight of 20 tons
and are still more than 280°C / 536°F warm
for a few days when they are stored. The
radiant heat has caused massive damage to
the floor area in most areas of the hall. In
addition, the hot collis are driven from the
rolling mill into the warehouse with special
forklifts and placed correctly.
The routes in the warehouse had to be
completely renovated for safety reasons.
Since the ground was so bumpy, there was
a risk that a forklift with the hot colli might
fall over.
For this reason, the old floor was completely
removed. The subbase floor was rebuilt and
carefully compacted. Subsequently, at least
50 mm /2 inch thick UHPC HT high temperature
resistant flooring, which also has a very high
compressive strength and wear resistance, was laid.
In the UHPC HT floor covering, two-layer
reinforcement was introduced in order to absorb
the shear stresses that are generated by the heavy
forklift movements.
We relined approx. 1000 sqm hall floor.
