The MEGASLAB Difference

Cold Storage Concrete Flooring Perfected!

Handling Heavy Loads

Cold storage facilities' flooring often need to support heavy loads, from the stored goods in cold environments to the heavy equipment used to move them. MEGASLAB designed concrete slabs for cold storage, can withstand these demands, even in cold or freezing temperatures, without cracking or buckling. This ensures minimal maintenance and longevity, making it suitable for establishments requiring low temperatures.

Chemical Resistance

In the cold storage industry, slabs can often come into contact with various chemicals, which may degrade the concrete over time. MEGASLAB provides superior resistance to these chemicals.

Maintenance and Longevity

MEGASLAB reduces the frequency and cost of maintenance and repair work. In an industry where the cost of shutdowns can be high, this is a significant advantage.

Moisture Resistance

Cold storage often involves high humidity or direct contact with ice and cold liquids. Ordinary concrete can absorb this moisture, leading to damage and creating a breeding ground for bacteria. MEGASLAB is less porous and more resistant to moisture and bacterial growth.

Temperature Variations

Ordinary concrete can expand and contract with the extreme temperature fluctuations involved in cold storage, leading to cracks and other structural damage. High-quality, engineered concrete from MEGASLAB is designed to handle these temperature shifts without damage.

Safety

Slip-resistant surfaces are crucial in the cold storage industry to prevent accidents. Advanced concrete solutions like MEGASLAB are tailored to provide safer, slip-resistant surfaces.

COLD STORAGE IS READY FOR A REVOLUTION

There is a long list of pain points regarding cold storage and concrete, such as incredibly thick slabs with rebar that conflict with your rack installation, spalled joints, curled floors, and delamination. There have been numerous expensive attempts to reduce joints and increase durability. For instance, making concrete ‘expand to fight shrinkage’ has been around since the 60s; it is difficult to get it right, and the pour sizes and sequence are limited. Plus, the environment has to be just right for concrete to be placed. Others include spreading additional rock into the surface and dry shake hardeners, all to increase durability. Fortunately, MEGASLAB® has invented and specializes in robust concrete slab flooring systems for cold storage facilities. Our solutions align with green concrete technology and are sustainable and environmentally friendly, making them an excellent choice for your concrete flooring needs.
