Usage of Echo Floors

High Density townhouse developments are the core business of Echo FloorsEcho Floors is suitable for most types of residential, multi-storey buildings.

Echo reinforced hollow-core concrete slabs can be used on most types of buildings with short spans between load-bearing  supports. Typical applications are residential - townhouses, clusters, new houses and house additions. The product is the preferred solution for affordable housing developments. Industrial and commercial application are also common, provided the spans do not exceed 6,8m between load-bearing supports.

Echo slabs are also ideally suited in areas of heaving clay where suspended ground floors are required. The Echo precast slabs can be laid onto loadbearing brickwork, precast or insitu beams or steel frames, with bearings varying from 60mm to 110mm. Alternatively the panels can be placed into the flange or a steel beam with a 60mm bearing.

Echo is a simply supported one directional structural system. However, should a moment connecting detail be required on a steel structure, we can open 3 cores per 900mm wide panel and provide steel bars which are then grouted in by the contractor on site to provide a moment connection.
