INDUSTRIAL concrete floors are essential for South Africa’s industrial growth but also poses more problems for the construction industry than most other concrete projects, says John Roxburgh, senior lecturer at The Concrete Institute’s School of Concrete Technology.
Roxburgh says without a well-designed, fit-for-purpose and low maintenance concrete industrial floor, factories, warehouses, storage and retail areas or other hard standing areas cannot operate at optimum efficiency. He believes the importance of a sound concrete industrial floor is often overlooked but should be the main priority for minimising long-term operational costs.
“Industrial floors on the ground typically appear simple in their design and construction but in reality they can become nightmares for the unskilled. The Concrete Institute can testify to that because when it comes to the various concrete elements in a building, the industrial floor i

South Africa: Several of South Africa’s cement and concrete producers have united to form a joint industry association called Cement & Concrete SA (CCSA). The association consolidates the former Association of Cementitious Materials Producers (ACMP), Concrete Society of Southern Africa (CSSA) and The Concrete Institute (TCI). It said that it aims to create long-term shared value and industry growth in South Africa through driving collaboration, skills development, innovation, and the highest standards in sustainable cement and concrete materials and products.
Chief executive officer Bryan Perrie said, “At a time when many conflicting and ambiguous messages are shared readily on various platforms, and with the proliferation of substandard products and services, the need for authoritative engagement with all

No-fines concrete (NFC) is obtained by eliminating the fine material â sand – from the normal concrete mix. Instead, single-sized coarse aggregates are surrounded and held together by a thin layer of cement paste to add strength.
Among the main advantages of NFC is economy in materials, higher thermal insulating values, lower shrinkage, and lower unit weight and density. It is mainly used for load-bearing, cast-in-place external walls of single storey and multi-storey housing, small retaining walls or damp-proofing sub-base material for concrete floors cast on grade.
Here Bryan Perrie, managing director of The Concrete Institute (TCI) sheds some light on this type of concrete:
