The Problem
When soil conditions cannot support heavy industrial floors, slab-on-grade construction alone is not sufficient. Settlement and uneven floors often appear months or years after construction.
Common Failures & Industry Observations
- On soft or reclaimed ground, over 60% of slab-on-grade floors experience measurable settlement over time.
- Floors rebuilt without piling on weak soil show a high recurrence of settlement within 3–5 years.
- Differential settlement as small as 10–15 mm can affect racking alignment and machine performance.
Why Piling is Necessary
Concrete strength does not compensate for weak ground. Without transferring loads to stable soil layers, settlement will continue regardless of slab thickness.
Our Services & How We Solve It
We provide piling and piled slab solutions specifically for industrial floors:
- Piled slab systems for full floor support
- Hybrid piling under racking aisles or machinery zones
- Settlement control for heavy-load floors
- Integration with reinforced concrete slab design
This approach eliminates long-term settlement risk and maintains floor levelness.
