How We Deliver Concrete
Slab Installations in Southampton

STEP 1

Site Review &
Slab Design

Each project begins with a review of ground conditions, sub base construction and operational layout. In Southampton this can include new logistics units at Nursling and older dockside buildings around Millbrook and the Western Docks. Slab thickness, reinforcement type and joint layout are specified to suit heavy vehicle movements, container handling and internal warehouse traffic.

Concrete Placement &
Finishing Operations

Concrete is placed using laser guided systems wherever access and building layout allow, helping to achieve consistent levels across large storage and marshalling areas. In more constrained dockside or refurbished units we adjust bay sizes and pour sequences while maintaining control over flatness. Power floating, edge detailing and curing are managed to support long term slab performance under port linked logistics activity.

Testing &
Operational Handover

Once the slab has reached the required stage, we can carry out compressive strength tests and surface regularity checks where specified. Joint positions are recorded and we provide guidance on curing, cleaning and traffic management so operators in Southampton, Totton, Eastleigh and nearby locations can introduce racking, cranes and materials handling equipment in a controlled manner.

Structural
Performance

Slabs are engineered to deal with heavy forklift traffic, pallet stacking and static loads from racking and plant associated with port connected operations. Reinforcement design and concrete specification are chosen to manage cracking, joint behaviour and edge performance across loading docks, marshalling lanes and container handling areas in Southampton.

Concrete Slab Installation Southampton
Common Questions

Do you provide site surveys in Southampton docks and Totton?
Yes. We carry out site surveys across Southampton docks, Totton, Nursling and surrounding industrial estates to assess sub base condition, drainage, levels and operational needs before confirming slab design.
How do you manage curing in exposed coastal locations?
Coastal conditions around the Solent can affect evaporation and wind exposure. We adapt curing regimes using membranes, coverings or controlled access to support even strength development and protect the finished surface during early age.
Can you work in live port or logistics environments?
Yes. We regularly work on part occupied sites and coordinate phased areas, access routes and delivery windows so that operations can continue safely where agreed with the client and port or site management teams.
What reinforcement options are suitable for heavy port related traffic?
Options can include mesh, steel fibres or hybrid reinforcement systems. The choice depends on vehicle loading, joint spacing and traffic routes, and is agreed as part of the design process for each Southampton project.
Do you check surface tolerances for racking and automated systems?
Where specified, we check surface regularity against relevant UK tolerance classes so that narrow aisle racking, high bay storage or automated handling equipment can be installed on a suitable floor profile.
When can forklifts and racking be placed on the new slab?
Light foot traffic is usually acceptable after 24 to 48 hours. Forklifts, racking and other heavy equipment are typically introduced between 7 and 14 days once curing and strength development have been reviewed against the project specification.
What documentation do you provide at handover?
We provide joint layout information, curing and maintenance guidance, and strength or tolerance test results where taken, helping facilities teams in Southampton manage the slab over its service life.
