Precision Engineering in Action: Supplying Hollow Core Concrete Slabs for Chadwell Heath Apartment Block

In September and October 2024, Floorspan Contracts completed a challenging project in Chadwell Heath (RM9 6PR). This residential development involved supplying and installing hollow core concrete slabs and stairs for a three-story apartment block. The project highlighted our expertise in adapting to complex site conditions and unique structural demands.

Project Overview

Location: Chadwell Heath, RM9 6PR

Project Type: Residential Apartment Block (A23678)

Scope of Work: Supply and installation of hollow core concrete slabs for the first, second, and third floors, plus stairs

Total Area: Approximately 600m² per floor

Installation Period: September – October 2024

Challenges and Solutions

Tight Site with Tower Crane
The limited space of the site necessitated careful planning and logistics. The use of a tower crane ensured efficient delivery and placement of hollow core concrete slabs, minimising disruption and maintaining project timelines.

Blockwork Support for Hollow Core Concrete Slabs
Unlike traditional steel or precast beam supports, this project utilised blockwork to support the hollow core concrete slabs. This unusual feature required close collaboration with the contractors to guarantee structural integrity and precise installation.

Results and Highlights

Efficiency: Each floor, covering 600m², was installed seamlessly and on schedule using our high-quality hollow core concrete slabs.

Collaboration: Effective communication and coordination with contractors ensured the unique blockwork support system integrated perfectly with the slabs.

Adaptability: Successfully adapting our hollow core concrete slab solutions to a non-standard support method demonstrates our engineering team’s capability and innovation.
