Excellent Long-Span Capabilities accommodated by Hollowcore Floors

Flood Precast designed, manufactured, and supplied 1500m2 Hollowcore and 8no Stairs for this new school project. Our design and engineering team here at Flood Precast can advise and draw slab detail for customers, architects and engineers. Hollowcore slabs have excellent long-span capabilities, achieving a maximum capacity of 2.3 KN/sq.m over a 16 metre span.

Hollow Core plank is a pre-stressed concrete member primarily used for floor and roof decks. Serving as a combined deck and ceiling system, the planks erect quickly to reduce on-site labour needs and are capable of spanning long open spaces to aid design flexibility. Continuous, interior voids add structural stability, reduce weight and, therefore, reduce cost. The result is a sound proof, fire rated, low maintenance system with long spans and shallow depths.

Construction of an amalgamated boys and girls school in Rathnew has been completed and opened in September 2016 to become St Coen´s Primary School. This project consists of a new sixteen classroom primary school with a two classroom SNU/ASD unit, and associated site works.
