Amalgamated Concrete are professionals in the supply and construction of suspended slabs.
What is a Rib and Block Suspended Slab System?
The two-part system, consisting of ‘ribs’ and ‘blocks’, form permanent shutters for the quick and economical construction of floors in multi-story buildings.
The ‘ribs’ or lintels are reinforced precast concrete sections that are used to span between walls. The reinforced steel comes in the form of lattice, protruding positively from the concrete to strengthen the lintel for transport and to supply shear strength in the floor. The lattice is tied into steel mesh and other before casting of concrete.
The ‘blocks’ are hollow section precast units, placed to span the ribs, thus completing the shutter. The steel lattice are tied into steel mesh and other supporting structural components and the floor is cast in with concrete.
