With a point loading of 7kN and a uniformly distributed load of up to 9kN/m2, the factory-installed concrete floor is believed to be the highest performing floor for a modular building. It was 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 - from retail superstores and convenience stores to education and airport buildings, chemical and pharmaceutical applications such as laboratories and process areas, and buildings where specialist flooring is a requirement.
Commenting on the award, David Johnson, Director and General Manager said: "We are absolutely delighted with this award and the recognition it gives to our commitment to design and innovation. The demand for off-site construction continues to increase and this new option will allow the approach to be applied to an even wider range of building uses."
