Why Vacuum Dewatered Floors ( VDF ) ?

SCHEMATIC SHOWING VACUUM DEWATERING PROCESS

Suction Mat of special grade multilayered polymer  sheets alongwith reinforced distance cushions on the filter pads ensure sufficient cross-sectional area to squeeze out and remove excess water from the concrete. this design is a prerequisite for effective dewatering.

Increased Comprehensive Strength

Elimination of Curling

Improved water resistance.

End Users

Increased Comprehensive Strength.

Reduced Maintenance Cost.

Earlier utilization of floors.

Increased water resistance.

Minimum dusting.

Lower water permeability due to denser concrete.

Level Floor.

Minimized crack formation.

Architects/Design Engineers

Void-free& Denser concrete.

Reduced on the job monitoring due to inherent process advantages.

Fewer Joints.

Reduced permeability allows cost-effective application of top coats like epoxy / poly urethane etc.

Top part of concrete has the max compressive strength due to lowest water cement ratio.

Overall increase in compressive strength allows scope for design modification for cost-effective concrete.

Improved adhesion to the base when a wear-course in cast an old concrete.

Minimum shrinkage and hence no curling.

 

Contractors

Better utilization of man power

Elimination or minimization of overtime.

Controlled working cycle.

High early strength minimizes damage on newly cast floors.

Fewer forms - faster re-utilization.

Earlier start of finishing operations

Rapid completion.
