Intermodal and Ports

Are Optimized With MEGASLAB

Intermodal and port facilities require concrete solutions that can withstand the heavy load handling, high traffic, harsh environmental conditions, and constant use typical in intermodal facilities and port construction sectors — while also maintaining safety and minimizing environmental impact.

The MEGASLAB Difference

Handling Heavy Loads

Intermodal and port facilities routinely handle massive weights, from stacked shipping containers to heavy machinery and vehicles. MEGASLAB, a leading name in industrial concrete flooring, is durable enough to withstand this intense load and traffic without wear, cracking, or damage, making it an ideal choice for heavy load handling.

Harsh Environmental Conditions

Intermodal and port facilities are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including saltwater in maritime ports, which can deteriorate ordinary concrete. MEGASLAB is built to resist such conditions and maintain integrity over time.

Environmental Sustainability

Many facilities are focused on environmental sustainability in construction. MEGASLAB, a green building material, contributes to sustainability goals since its efficient design results in longer-lasting durable flooring solutions and reduces the need for replacements, lowering the carbon footprint by up to 50%.

Safety

MEGASLAB is resistant to cracking or chipping so it provides a safer working environment, reducing the risk of accidents caused by cracks, unevenness, or surface degradation.

Reduced Maintenance and Downtime

Operations in intermodal and port facilities run round the clock, making downtime highly costly. Superior, long-lasting concrete solutions like MEGASLAB can minimize the need for concrete maintenance, thereby reducing potential downtime and contributing to efficient supply chain infrastructure.

Better Surface Quality

While durability is critical, so too is the surface quality. Facilities need concrete that not only withstands the test of time and use but also maintains a high-quality finish to ensure efficient and safe operations.

DELIVERING UNMATCHED DURABILITY TO INTERMODAL AND PORTS

Moving the supply chain, stacking containers four and five high, and dealing with harsh conditions are everyday challenges for intermodal and ports. Add to that the constant battle to keep large open areas of slab clean, with issues like spalling of the surface and saw-cut joints, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at times. But the industry forges ahead because that’s “the way we’ve always done things.” Well, when it comes to the limitations of ordinary concrete, no, you don’t have to do it that way anymore.
There’s a better slab designed for the work you do. MEGASLAB meets the demand for the extreme durability required of these critical commerce gateways. You’re probably familiar with roller-compacted concrete (RCC) and the appeal of its strength, speed of production, and low cost. That’s great, but MEGASLAB is more durable than RCC. Plus, we can build it as quickly and with a lower installation cost. RCC is tough, but its surface finish is less than ideal and outdated. When you compare the finish, flatness, and incredible durability of MEGASLAB to RCC, it’s no contest.
