1.2 MANUFACTURING
+ NSL
astern Protech
Hollow core slabs are manufactured on longline prestressing beds using state-of-the-art automated production process.
Strength development of hollow core slabs can be accelerated by heat curing which provides shorter cycle time for speedy
delivery.
The finished hollow core slabs are then cut to the desired length using diamond-tipped automatic saw once the concrete has
attained sufficient strength,
Long-line prestressing beds.
1.3 MATERIALS
Hollow core slabs are made from zero-slump concrete of
C50 compressive strength. The prestressing tendons are
indented 7 - wire low relaxation strands to BS 5896-1980
with a strength of 1860 N/mm2 Tendon sizes are normally
of 9,6mm and 12.9mm in diameter.
