Precision Engineering: Industrial Warehouse Foundation


Industrial construction requires a level of Structural Integrity that goes beyond standard residential builds. This project involved the design and execution of a heavy-duty slab capable of supporting high-bay racking systems and heavy machinery traffic.
Technical Benchmark: Achieving a floor flatness tolerance of FM2 (Special) as per TR34 standards to ensure optimal operation of automated forklift systems.
Sub-Structure Development
The geological survey indicated a high water table, requiring a complex drainage solution before the primary pour. We implemented a multi-stage dewatering process combined with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane to prevent moisture ingress.
- Reinforcement: A393 heavy-duty mesh reinforcement.
- Concrete Mix: C40/50 with fiber-reinforcement for shrinkage control.
- Surface Finish: Power-troweled with dry-shake hardener for maximum abrasion resistance.
Portal Frame Integration
The structural steel skeleton was erected in just 10 days, utilizing pre-fabricated sections to minimize on-site welding. This Modular Efficiency is a core component of the Kamboj Construction workflow, reducing project timelines by 15% compared to traditional methods.

Data-Driven Project Management
By utilizing Business Intelligence tools during the procurement phase, we optimized the supply chain for structural steel, ensuring that all components arrived JIT (Just-In-Time). This prevented site congestion and maintained a strict safety perimeter.
The result is a facility built for the future of Leicester's industrial landscape—robust, efficient, and engineered to last.
