Hollowcore Installation Western Canada

Precast Concrete hollowcore floor systems provide long spans with cross sections that reduce the height of the building, saving material cost, and the inorganic composition of precast concrete Hollowcore sections enhances fire protection. Our sales team can help determine which sizes, shapes, and styles of components will best suit any individual commercial building project whilst ensuring that components are aesthetically appealing, functional, and cost effective. Our installation teams work across Western Canada on projects of all shapes and sizes, our crews have extensive experience installing Hollowcore on a variety of building designs.

The products utilized in our hollowcore floor systems are produced at our Lafarge Precast Edmonton facility, for the majority of projects the standard production process comprises of a combination of pre-stressed strand combined in the with the 8", 10" or 12" finished high strength concrete. The planks are poured on day one and stripped and stored out outside on day two, the entire production process is thoroughly inspected by our quality control team to ensure that every panel is produced in accordance with the specific engineered drawings for that project. In accordance with our CPCI certification all concrete used is tested prior to pouring to ensure it meets  the project criteria, similarly prior to stripping and shipping the cylinders taken during pre pour testing process are tested to ensure they meet the appropriate level of strength.
