Veronica Maluleka’s building project is running according to scope, budget and schedule. This can also be attributed to the stellar role that Coreslab played in completing the suspended slab for this development in record time. Work could proceed above and below the concrete slab the day after it was installed.
“The service that I received from the company was truly amazing. Coreslab delivered exactly what was agreed, which was a quality suspended slab that meets the engineer’s specifications the first-time round. I also enjoyed working with company representatives, including Johan Muller, who were always professional. I will, therefore, strongly recommend Coreslab’s services to family and friends who are set to embark on a homebuilding project that involves the construction of a suspended slab,” Maluleka says.
Coreslab’s suspended slabs consist of hollow-core slabs that are grouted in place to form a single monolithic structure. The hollow-core slabs are manufactured at the company’s factory and then transported to site where they are installed by a skilled and experienced team. This provides a faster and more cost-effective method of constructing suspended slabs versus other common methods. There is no need to install propping; mixing of concrete and the handling of other construction materials; and waiting for the slab to cure before work can proceed on the rest of the structure.
“Moreover, the construction of suspended slabs – possibly one of the most complex aspects of double or more-storey building projects – is outsourced to an expert in the field with many years of precast concrete experience. This provides homebuilders with peace of mind that their suspended slabs will be fit-for-purpose and safe,” Muller says.
