The Lattice Plate Flooring system combines the speed of precast concrete construction with the

convenience and flexibility of hybrid concrete design. The Lattice Plate Floor panels are supplied
in variable lengths in consultation with our design department spans of up to 10,500mm are
available. The standard width is 2,400mm, but can be varied as many contracts require a
proportion of specifically manufactured non-standard widths. The thickness varies and is
normally 50, 60 or 70mm deep depending on the design requirements. The Lattice Plate Flooring
suits most building types: hospitals, student accommodations, schools, prisons, multi-storey car
parks, hotels, residential and commercial.
The automated production process uses CAD / CAM / Allplan systems to ensure both the
accuracy of the dimensions and the precise positioning of openings for electrical and other
services. Design can be part of the overall Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Lattice girder reinforcement

The reinforcement is assembled and welded in the factory to form a certified mesh consisting of
the integrated reinforcement sections. The lattice girders are designed to provide the required
structural support to the Lattice Plate Flooring before the in-situ concrete is poured and also
supports the upper reinforcement mesh. The protruding triangular reinforcement is used as the
lifting points when unloading from the delivery vehicles and for placing each precast element
into its final position. The installation of Lattice Plate Flooring requires the use of temporary
supports. The number of props required is determined by the load / span criteria and the
thickness of the top bar reinforcement. In consultation with the Pekso Precast design team a
choice can be made with the lattice girders having heavier top bars combined with additional
lattice girders per width of the Lattice Plate Flooring panel. This variation enables a reduction of
the propping layout which will give an overall cost saving on the installation.

Standard sized reinforced Lattice Plate Flooring elements with the following features:
Dimensions
Width: standard 2,400mm.
Non-standard panels manufactured to meet design requirements.
Thickness: 50-60-70mm
Length:
Standard production variable up to 9,000mm.
Special panels up to 10,500mm can be produced in consultation with our design
department.
In most cases Lattice Plate Flooring will require propping. The propping centres are
normally stipulated by Pekso Precast. However, in some circumstances subject to the design
criteria propping is not required.
Other features
Concrete strength: the standard is C28/35 however greater
strengths can be used if necessary for specific requirements.
The connection: the panels are double
chamfered
along two edges forming an arris edge detail
which almost eliminates any grout loss.
The upper surface is roughened to obtain a
complete bond with the in-situ capping layer.
Openings can be pre-formed in polystyrene or
cellular concrete with a minimum size of 100 x
100mm. Other sizes are available in multiples of
50mm.
Dimensional tolerances are in accordance with
the relevant BS/Eurocode.
The soffit finish is of a very high quality,
allowing direct decoration thus eliminating the
need for plasterwork.
The design can incorporate a symmetrical joint
layout per room width.
The Lattice Plate Flooring panels can be used
in conjunction with the Pekso Precast Twin Wall building system.

Design flexibility
Floor openings can be preformed in polystyrene or cellular concrete.
Lattice girder design flexibility can used to modify the propping layout.
Irregular shape floor shapes can be designs to eliminate additional on
site work.

Lattice Plate Flooring can suit most building types.
Can be used with almost all types of construction. In-situ, precast
frames, steel frames and traditional construction.
Durability of precast reinforced concrete.
Forms part of a thermal mass structure.
Void formers can be included to reduce weight and in-situ concrete.

Build programme benefits

Cast in sockets can be placed into plate floor to receive safety
handrails, giving immediate protection on the floor zone once placed
which satisfies health & safety requirements.
Pre-design M&E services and apertures can be inserted at
manufacturing stage creating substantial savings on site:
Central electrical conduit boxes
Built-in opening for mechanical ventilation
The pipe work suitable for concrete core activation can be incorporated
as part of the manufacturing process.
Speed of installation 500m per day achievable.
Immediate working platform is created.
Virtually eliminates the need for on site formwork.
Metal edge shutters can be cast into floor panel to receive concrete
topping.
Can be used in conjunction with Pekso Precast Twin Wall and Box
Beam system giving even greater construction benefits.
Lattice girder reinforcement used as lifting points eliminating damage
of the Lattice Plate Floor edges. Just-in-time deliveries available
eliminating the requirement for site storage on site.
