Inforce partnered with Tuatara to deliver a high-performance slab design tailored to the unique demands of their facility. As a trusted collaborator on all Tuatara slab projects, Inforce was engaged to provide a solution that would eliminate saw cuts while accommodating significant racking point loads.

Objectives & Outcomes:

The primary goal was to develop an optimised slab design that would meet structural requirements without the need for saw cuts, improving durability and reducing maintenance. Including Waveforce joints for heavy duty arris protection and its ability to handle heavy equipment crossing the joint at any direction. Inforce delivered a fit-for-purpose design that met all performance criteria and supported Tuatara’s operational needs.

Value Added:

Inforce provided comprehensive design services including:

• Fit-for-purpose slab design
• For-construction drawings
• Construction joints
• PS1 documentation
• Construction monitoring
• PS4 certification upon completion

To achieve the performance objectives, Inforce specified advanced fibre reinforcement solutions:

Dynaforce® Hookend Fibres

• Increased load-bearing capacity and multi-directional reinforcement
• Control of shrinkage cracks and improved post-cracking behaviour
• Elimination of traditional steel mesh, reducing construction time and labour costs
• Enhanced durability and ductility for long-term slab performance
• Certified to CE mark and manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards

Radforce® Structural Synthetic Fibre

• Non-corrosive macro synthetic fibre ideal for exterior and corrosive environments
• Improved impact resistance and first-crack strength
• Top-to-bottom reinforcement with even fibre dispersion
• Water-dissolvable packaging for zero onsite waste and simplified batching
• Eliminates steel mesh, dramatically speeding up construction and reducing labour

Dynaforce was the muscle in this slab with its high-strength, low dose methodology for a better placing and finishing outcome. This end-to-end support and innovative material selection ensured a smooth project delivery and a structurally sound result that Tuatara could rely on.
