The composition and mutual arrangement of parts of any structure, mechanism.
Such a structure itself with such a device.
[from lat. constructio] — compilation, construction.
In relation to our activities, we can give an example of a two-layer floor structure consisting of a concrete slab (bottom layer) and a dust-free primer (top layer).
CONSTRUCTION IN INDUSTRIAL FLOORS
Industrial flooring is a key element in ensuring the durability, safety and efficiency of industrial facilities. The basis of such floors is a multi–layered structure, including concrete or polymers, which allows you to create a reliable coating that can withstand high loads.
Preparation of the base, selection and laying of materials require in-depth knowledge and experience, since each stage affects the quality and durability of the final product. The use of specialized additives and coatings makes it possible to further improve the characteristics of the floor, adapting it to specific operating conditions and specific customer requirements.
THE MAIN TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL FLOOR DESIGNS
Choosing the right floor design ensures durability, reliability and safety. Let's consider the main types of industrial floor designs:
- Concrete floors with reinforced top layer (topping):
- Ideal for high loads.
- They have high wear resistance.
- They require minimal maintenance.
- Polymer floors:
- High resistance to chemicals.
- A variety of colors and textures.
- Quick installation and setting.
- Self-leveling floors:
- An ideal choice for rooms with uneven foundations.
- They provide a smooth and even surface.
- They are suitable for rooms with high cleanliness requirements.
- Antistatic floors:
- They are necessary for rooms where static electricity control is required.
- They provide protection for equipment and personnel.
- Industrial floors with the addition of quartz sand:
- Improved adhesion to the surface.
- Increased wear resistance and anti-slip properties.
Advantages and recommendations
When choosing an industrial floor design, it is important to take into account the type of loads, operating conditions and specifics of the production process.
Consideration of each type of floor will determine the most appropriate solution that ensures long-term service and optimal performance.
KEY DESIGN ELEMENTS OF INDUSTRIAL FLOORS
The construction of industrial floors is a multi–layered system designed to ensure durability, resistance to wear and chemical influences, as well as to meet the specific requirements of industrial and commercial premises. The most important design elements include:
- Footing: Prepared base with proper waterproofing and reinforcement to prevent deformation and cracks.
- Concrete base: A concrete layer, usually reinforced with reinforcing mesh or fibers to increase strength.
- Reinforcing additives: Additives to the concrete mix that improve the characteristics of the floor, including its wear resistance, water resistance and resistance to chemicals.
- Coatings: Range from polymer to epoxy and polyurethane, are used for additional protection, to improve the appearance and create a safe working environment.
- Finishing materials: Used for the final finishing of the floor, may include colored chips, anti-slip additives and marking lines to ensure safety and ease of use.
These components together form a strong and durable structure capable of withstanding high loads, vibration, chemical exposure and other operational factors typical of industrial and commercial facilities.
THE DEPENDENCE OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE FLOOR DEVICE ON THE SELECTED DESIGN
Laying industrial floors is a complex process that requires attention to every stage of the construction. Let's look at the key types of styling technologies:
- Concrete floors:
- Base preparation: includes cleaning, leveling and sealing.
- Laying of reinforcement mesh for reinforcement.
- Pouring concrete mix, often with the addition of reinforcing additives.
- Polymer floors:
- Application on a prepared substrate.
- Epoxy, polyurethane and methyl methacrylate resins are used.
- They are characterized by fast setting and high strength.
Comparative characteristics
Concrete floors are characterized by high strength and durability, but require a longer time to fully harden.
Polymer floors set faster, offer better chemical resistance, but are more expensive.
The choice of installation technology depends on the operating conditions, the required performance characteristics and the project budget.
MAIN PROBLEMS AND ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
Difficulties in the construction of industrial floors are often associated with choosing the right design, which must meet the loads, environmental influences and specific requirements of the facility. The key issues are:
- Material selection: It is necessary to determine which materials are best suited for specific operating conditions.
- Preparation of the foundation: Irregularities and instability of the foundation can lead to uneven distribution of loads and, as a result, damage to the floor.
- Humidity management: Improper humidity management can cause adhesion problems, blistering and peeling of coatings.
- Temperature conditions during installation: Unsuitable temperature conditions can negatively affect the solidification process of materials.
Various engineering solutions are used to solve these problems, including the use of specialized additives to control the properties of concrete, priming and reinforcement systems to increase the strength and durability of the floor, as well as precise adherence to laying technology.
The use of modern technologies and materials, as well as qualified specialists, ensure the successful solution of emerging difficulties and the creation of high-quality and reliable industrial floors.
