Design Service

The level of design service supplied by Echo may be specified by the client an/or the Consulting Engineer. The Echo design service is provided by and independent Consulting Engineer. The Echo layout drawing service and engineer's certificate is included in our price. Slabs are supplied to suit "as built" dimensions which are checked by the Echo erection teams on site. Should you require Echo's independent engineer to design the foundations and structure the charge will be independant of Echo's quote.

Installation

The Echo panels are hoisted into position by a mobile or truck mounted crane. This means that sound and clear access to the building on which the slabs are to be erected is required. Should a suspended slab be required inside an existing building, the entrance available must be a minimum 4,5m high x 3,0m wide provided there is sufficient turning space in front of the entrance for articulated trucks.
Our standard cranes have a reach up to 13m with a 6m panel and 18m with a 3m panel.
In order to obtain a flush ceiling finish on brickwork, the load bearing walls and internal walls must be level. Where the spans between the walls exceed 5,0m our slabs require a centre line of temporary propping for a minimum of 10 days after casting of the joint filling and structural topping / screeding is complete.

The installation of Echo Floors is done by mobile crane or truck mounted crane.

Installation of 600m² per day per installation team is possible

Echo Floors use various size cranes depending on the site requirements and access available.

Grouting

The service is also included in the price and is done by an in house team. Echo grout the longitudinal joints between the slabs, not the ends nor the sides. This is a labour only service, all the materials are sourced from the site.

Echo Floors grout between the joints prior to the client screeding or placing the topping. The gouting materials are supplied by the client.

The conduiting is placed above the slab prior to screeding or topping being poured.

Approximate Quantities:

1 cubic meter of river sand and 10 bags of cement per 100 square meters of slab.
