Concrete floors form the backbone of factory operations, bearing heavy machinery and continuous activity. When cracks appeared on the concrete floor of a subsea engineering factory, it raised concerns about the slab’s capacity to handle additional machinery and racking for their latest production line.

The client sought Sonicon for a comprehensive structural assessment. The project began with advanced Xradar concrete floor scanning techniques and crack mapping to thoroughly evaluate the floor’s condition. Core testing provided vital insights into the slab’s composition and load-bearing capacity. The investigation revealed that the cracks were rooted in the early design of the slab, underscoring the need for a precise and tailored solution.

Sonicon’s meticulous approach led to a detailed report that offered the client clear insights and actionable recommendations. Now, with the assessment phase complete, the focus shifted to addressing the cracks and preparing the surface to withstand the expanding production line demands of the client.
