The growing demand for super flat industrial and commercial floors has necessitated the development of Laser Screed Technology for constructing concrete floors. Laser screed concrete flooring helps contractors create flatter and stronger concrete floors than those created using traditional screed technology. This cutting-edge technology has revolutionized the concrete flooring industry by raising standards and customer expectations for concrete flooring.

Laser screed technology produces slab-on-grade concrete floors that are flatter and stronger than any comparative floors produced by using conventional methods. They establish grade by laser, utilizing a 3D profiler system, disperse concrete by the auger, and then vibrate and consolidate the concrete.

Laser screeding utilizes a self-leveling machine with a telescopic boom, which extends out from the machine to level the poured concrete surface and smooth it. The leveling principle of laser screed machine is realised by using precise laser guided system, closed-loop control technology and highly-precise hydraulic systems under the control of a computer. The laser-guided system uses a laser transmitter and receiver to create a precise and level surface. The laser transmitter emits a laser beam that is detected by the receiver on the screed machine. The machine then automatically adjusts the level of the concrete using hydraulics to achieve a smooth and level surface. A plow, auger and vibrator assist the screed head in dispersing the concrete and removing excess material from the floor.

The machine’s laser technology precisely screed or level concrete at exactly the same height over the entire floor area. The result is a flat and highly accurate concrete surface that can’t be achieved using conventional methods. This laser technology is best to be used in challenging, large complex concrete surfaces, as it can speed up workflow, reduce the need for formwork, eliminate human error and create a well uniform and durable surfaces.

Laser screed machines improve productivity, the flatness of the concrete surface and overall site efficiency. They are renowned for delivering flatter, stronger and more level floors, surpassing the results typically achieved with conventional methods.

Key Applications

The ability to deliver superior concrete surfaces makes laser screeding ideal for various construction project application, including:

• Warehouses and Distribution Centers: where the precise flatness is crucial for smooth operation of forklifts and other material handling equipment.
• Manufacturing Facilities: to ensure optimal production flow and eliminate unevenness that could disrupt machinery or processes.
• Commercial and Retail Spaces: to provide a visually appealing and functional base for various finishes.
• Aviation Hangars: where the floor flatness and strength are essential for accommodating heavy aircraft and equipment.

Although laser screeds are more expensive than other types of concrete screed machine, the return on investment is well worth it. This technology has many advantages in concrete floor construction.

Core Benefits of Laser Screed Technology

• Precise Flatness and Levelness: One of the greatest benefits of laser screeds is that they can achieve precise flatness and levelness consistently across large surface areas, eliminating undulations and imperfections.
• Speed and Efficiency: Laser screed technology offers much quicker turnaround than conventional construction. Contractors can achieve laydown rates in excess of 250 square metres per hour and a daily workload exceeding 2,000 square metres.
• Reduced Formwork: Reduces formwork use by more than 50% since only perimeter formwork is needed. This helps create jointless concrete floors.
• Lower Labor Costs: Requires fewer workers because the machine handles the heavy leveling and precise distribution automatically.
• Versatility: Adaptable to various construction environments ranging from small commercial developments to large industrial facilities, airports, and sports complexes.
• Environmental Sustainability: Generates less waste, requires less water during finishing, and reduces over-pour due to precise leveling.

In conclusion, laser screed flooring technology is an innovative and efficient method for concrete flooring in construction projects. It has completely revolutionised how concrete is placed and levelled off. It offers a range of benefits, including speedy construction, consistence floor quality, reduced labour costs, increased productivity & efficiency, and environmental sustainability. With its versatility and precision, laser screed technology is an excellent choice for construction companies looking for a reliable and efficient concrete flooring system.
