With a point loading of 7kN and a uniformly distributed load of 9kN/m2, the factory-installed concrete floor is believed to be the highest performing floor for a modular building.
It has been launched by Portakabin subsidiary, Yorkon, following a two-year development and testing programme and offers a range of benefits for steel-framed modular buildings with areas of high footfall or heavy point loading, such as schools and laboratories, and buildings where specialist flooring is a requirement.
The development of the new floor option involved the construction of two prototype modules for extensive testing, and detailed design calculations, and module lifting and transport trials.
The pre-installation of concrete into modules in a factory environment is easier and safer than on a building site.
