New Top Slab
New Top Slab
Award-Winning Design
The existing slab of the building was used for decades as a frozen poultry warehouse. The original construction had the slab elevated above finish grade to allow constant ventilation and avoid condensation undermining the slab.
Unfortunately, the elevation had settled minutely over time (original construction was thought to be 1960’s) and so the slab was slightly pitched, too much to be code compliant with ADA.
New Top Slab
The slab surface was mechanically ground and a new slab, approximately 1” thick at its thinnest and just over 2” thick at its thickest, was poured to result in a level floor.
The main warehouse/office area was then polished and sealed.
The receiving dock and front retail area were coated with epoxy.
