Marine structures slab-on-grade: What is at stake?

VSL’s slab-on-grade solution is perfectly suited to marine structures as it is an economical and fast construction method that is ideal for use whenever large areas need to be covered. Port unloading areas are commonly built using these specially designed slabs that sit on the ground.

A post-tensioned slab-on-grade solution from VSL overcomes all problems associated with conventional concrete slabs. A reduction in the number of construction joints means that the slab-on-grade is less prone to cracking or damage. Because it is thinner and lighter, its construction cycle is much shorter, saving the client both time and money. It also offers real performance benefits, meaning lower maintenance costs for the client.
