Due to practical limitations on the area that can be constructed at any one time, Twintec uses steel armoured construction joints at the edges of each panel.
With proven expertise in design, concrete behaviour and SFRC technology, as well as strict monitoring and control over production, Twintec can construct panel sizes of up to 2500m2, depending on concrete quality and availability.
Uniformly mixed steel fibres eliminate the need for sawn-induced contraction joints, which are a leading cause of floor problems and the biggest cost for ongoing maintenance on both floor and equipment.
With no sawn-induced contraction joints, and steel armoured construction joints at the edges of each panel only, MHE equipment can operate at optimum efficiency.
With reinforcement from steel fibres incorporated into the concrete, there’s no need for steel reinforcement to be placed prior to concrete works and continuous large panel pouring is achieved, providing a safer working environment.
SFRC reduces plastic settlement, leading to greater achievable flatness tolerances and no remedial grinding.
Reduced slab thickness, cement replacement and the option to use re-valued fibres. Steel fibres uniformly throughout concrete provide increased impact resistance.
A number of cost benefits through value engineered solutions, including increased productivity, thinner floor slabs which require less concrete and optimised pile spacing and sizing.
