Warehouse

For the better part of the last century, architectures were evolved and changed in many case for the better. Buildings could be built higher, larger, and structurally more sound based on a number innovations. One such innovation was the invention of pre-cast concrete forms. Initially standard concrete in appearance, these forms have morphed into designer structures created to not only provide structural support and strength, but are often times used in modern architecture to provide innovative design to the appearance of the building which they are adhered.

1- Lower installed cost

2- More resistant to cracking

3- Pier foundation offers greater flexibility than continuous footing

4- Wide variety of beautiful textures and colors available

5- More environmentally friendly

6- less maintenance required

Precast concrete makes perfect sense for any warehouse facility, as it offers energy-efficiency, low-cost maintenance, fire resistance and lower operating costs. Moreover, because it provides inherent sustainability benefits, you can’t beat precast, pre-stressed concrete for your warehousing needs, Especially if you have high loads like crane loads and supported building loads.

A.Foundation System.
Shorter construction period: our precast foundations are designed to shorten the construction phase and bring the construction into operation at an earlier date.

Load capacity:

the strength of our concrete foundations raises the capacity load of the construction to enable the installment of the rest of construction elements .

Durability:

our precast elements are designed to resist accidental impact loads. The density and durability of our products gives long life maintenance free experience to our elements.

Protection & Isolation:

Insulation of foundations (all foundation elements) contacting directly with underground soil is the most important

reason that keeps its strength and durability.

So Cretematic Is keen to use a high quality insulating materials to isolate all underground elements to avoid any external factors can negatively affect the strength and durability of the element such as ( underground water - salts and sulfate in the soil

Best consultants insist on Isolating elements contacting directly with underground soil to avoid any negative impact from

the soil which affects the strength of the concrete element generally and not fulfill the conditions required of it

Therefore, we are keen at Cretematic to isolate the element professionally so that it is 100% Guaranteed

So Cretematic is keen to use a high quality insulating materials (bitumen - etc .....) in the process of isolating foundations

B.Precast columns &beam System.
Cretematic Concrete manufactures Precast Columns and Beams as part of a total precast frame solution or as a part of hybrid in situ concrete schemes. The offsite manufacture reduces site programmed times. Various profiles of beams and columns can be manufactured to suit the project requirements.

1)COLUMNS
Columns are available in a range of shapes, sizes and finishes, can be circular or square and are designed to incorporate any additional features or fittings. Single storey columns are generally 2.5m - 4m high. Beams bear directly on top of these units with a dowelled connection between them. Multi storey columns cast with corbels or alternative connections at locations to suit the beams at intermediate levels. Projecting rebar can be provided for tying in to in situ floors. Options for foundation connections include cast in base plates, dowel tubes or projecting bars.

2)BEAMS
Cretematic Concrete can provide a cost effective solution offering a composite beam and floor solution which will reduce overall depth and weight with connections developed to your requirements.

Edge/Spandrel Beams – span around perimeter to provide a bearing edge on one side for flooring slabs and structure above.
Spine Beams - Provide a bearing edge on two sides for flooring slabs.
Lintel Beams - Span over door or window opens, to provide bearing for structure above.
Cantilever Beams - These beams cast with an integral cantilever area, including required Observation and levels.
Where single storey columns are being used, continuous beams are cast to reduce the bending moment of the beam and, therefore, its depth. Continuous beams can be also extended beyond the column support and provide bearing for smaller drop in beams between them.

Wall System.
As with most Modern Methods of Construction, the pre-stressed concrete wall panel system is designed to provide rapid construction for walls in all types of warehouses and distribution centers.

1)The rapid construction offers to the developer many advantages:
2)Shorter Construction Period
Precast concrete panels are delivered to site made to measure. Manufactured in controlled environment, factory conditions the panels are quickly erected to provide high quality precast concrete walls.
The developer can achieve significant program benefits for following trades and to the overall project.
The precast concrete solution eliminates wet trades associated with traditional construction techniques.
Installation progress of the new precast wall panel system is almost independent of weather conditions. A team of 2 or 3 construction workers can install up to 200 m² per day.
The rapid closure of the building condition enables floor slab construction to be brought forward.
For the freeholder or tenant the precast concrete wall panel system is designed to shorten the construction phase and bring the warehouse or distribution centre into operation at an earlier date.

3)Smooth Finish
The high strength precast concrete panels give a smooth internal finish to the warehouse. This food grade finish eliminates worries about damp ingress or pest infestations within the walls of the warehouse.

The smooth surface of the precast concrete panels is suitable for painting with little or no preparation.

4)Movable
Precast concrete wall panels can be dismantled and relocated to provide alterations to sub divisions and to facilitate subsequent extension to the warehouse.

5)Durable
The pre-stressed concrete wall panels are designed to resist accidental impact loads. The density and durability of the precast concrete gives long maintenance free service for the building walls.

We insure that applying isolation for all warehouse foundation elements to increase its own durability.

Pre stressed Hollow core

A hollow core slab is a precast slab of pre-stressed concrete typically used in the construction of floors in multi-story apartment buildings. The slab has been especially popular in countries where the emphasis of home construction has been on precast concrete, including Northern Europe and former socialist countries of Eastern Europe. Precast concrete popularity is linked with low-seismic zones and more economical constructions because of fast building assembly lower self weight (less material), etc.

The precast concrete slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab, typically with a diameter equal to the 65% to 75% of the slab. This makes the slab much lighter than a massive solid concrete floor slab of equal thickness or strength. The reduced weight is important because it lowers the costs of transportation as well as material (concrete) costs. The slabs are typically 120 cm wide with standard thicknesses between 15 cm and 50 cm. Reinforcing steel wire rope provides resistance to bending moment from loads.

Regular width of hollow core pre-stressed slab units is 1100mm, including joints.

The standard profiles have a fire resistance of 60 to 120 minutes.

Our standard thicknesses: 200, 265, 320mm which can reach 20m spans for outside cladding
