Industrial Concrete Floors: A Solid Foundation for Your Business
An industrial concrete floor is the reliable foundation of any warehouse, production or logistics facility. Its quality directly determines worker safety, equipment lifespan and the speed of your business processes.
Ol Bud Invest specializes in modern concrete floors built to withstand extreme mechanical loads, chemical exposure and heavy equipment traffic.
Advantages of Our Solutions
Flawless Strength
High-grade concrete, reinforced with a steel mesh or steel/basalt fiber — this guarantees no cracks or deformation.
Perfect Flatness
Laser leveling and modern vibrating screeds deliver the tightest flatness tolerances. This is critical for very narrow aisle (VNA) forklifts in large warehouses.
Dust Protection
Where needed, we apply topping or polymer impregnation — making the surface highly resistant to abrasion and impact.
Code Compliance
From base preparation, ground compaction and waterproofing to joint cutting and curing — our engineers control every stage.
Where Our Floors Are Used
- Modern Class A and B warehouses
- Production facilities, hangars and factories
- Logistics hubs and distribution centers
- Underground parking garages and auto repair shops
Design and Base
Slab thickness is calculated not "by experience" but for the actual load: forklift axle weight with cargo, rack post pressure on the footing, and traffic intensity. For warehouses with front-loading forklifts, 150–180 mm with fiber reinforcement is usually enough; for tall racking and narrow-aisle equipment, thickness increases to 200–250 mm with double mesh reinforcement. A mistake at this stage can't be fixed with a coating — the slab will crack along the lines of highest stress.
Half of a floor's service life is determined below the concrete. The ground is compacted in layers, topped with a wedged gravel bed, then a waterproofing membrane that keeps cement laitance from bleeding into the base. If the base settles unevenly, the slab will work in bending and crack even with flawless concrete. That's why we test the base's flatness and density with instruments before pouring, not after.
Laser levels and vibrating screeds set the surface flatness; power-trowel finishing in multiple passes, with curing time between them, sets the final strength. For Class A warehouses we target FM2 flatness tolerances; for narrow-aisle equipment, the stricter FM1 — where a deviation of a few millimeters already affects a forklift mast's operation.
When you order concrete floors from Ol Bud Invest, you get more than a screed — you get a high-tech engineered structure with an official warranty. We calculate the loads ourselves, select the layer thickness, and offer turnkey delivery.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
On average, work on a 1,000 m² site takes 2–3 weeks, including base preparation, pouring and joint cutting. However, full operational load is only allowed after 28 days, once the concrete reaches its design strength.
For warehouses with racking and material-handling equipment, the optimal slab thickness is 150–250 mm depending on axle load. Our engineers calculate the exact thickness for your equipment and traffic intensity.
Yes — we use antifreeze admixtures, temporary heated enclosures and mix heating. Winter pouring does add 10–15% to the budget, though, so where possible we recommend planning the work for the warm season.
Fiber effectively prevents shrinkage cracks and is cheaper to install, while a steel mesh handles the main bending loads. For sites with heavy equipment, we often combine both methods for maximum crack resistance.
Foot traffic is allowed after 3–5 days, light equipment after 7–10 days, and full operational use after 28 days, once the concrete reaches its design strength.
Yes — Ol Bud Invest provides an official warranty on concrete floors and signs completion certificates. We also provide floor-care recommendations to maximize its service life.
