If you're planning a construction project, it's important to choose the right floor system. One-way and two-way slabs are two common types of floor systems that differ in several key aspects,One-way slabs transfer loads primarily in one direction, while two-way slabs transfer loads in two directions, supported on all four sides. One-way slabs are suitable for smaller areas like balconies and walkways, while two-way slabs are suitable for larger areas like buildings and floors. The right choice depends on factors like load requirements, span lengths, and construction budget.

| PROJECT UPDATE | A large residential apartment complex is undergoing major transformations to the carpark and front retaining wall. Our initial inspections confirmed the danger of the retaining wall supporting the roadway and thus a new retaining wall was deemed necessary. Bellmont worked closely with an arborist to design a reinforced concrete wall solution and save the trees directly behind the retaining wall. The trees provide an important component of the streetscape as well as acting as a sound barrier to the busy Pacific highway. The bitumen car park was also replaced together with the ageing car ports. Bellmont’s design and supervision services were required on: • Masonry retaining wall repair works • Construction of buttress walls, screw piles and retaining walls • Fence replacement along the front boundary • Concrete driveway ramp and stepped boundary walls • Resurfacing and new drainage to bitumen carpark pavement • Design of carpark awnings • Design of waste bin area #facade #strata #managment #awnings #engineering #service #sydney #bellmont #design #supervision #transformation #building #concrete #nsw #council #resurfacing #drainage #boundary #ingress #repair #report #inspection #manager #industry #engineeringsolutions #regulation #sydneyproperty

Why Build with BBF. Beam and block flooring (BBF) is a construction method commonly used for ground and upper floors. Some advantages of using beam and block flooring include: 1. Speed of Construction: BBF is relatively quick to install compared to traditional methods, speeding up the overall construction process. 2.Cost-Effectiveness:It can be a cost-effective solution, especially for ground floors, as it requires fewer skilled laborers and materials. 3.Versatility:BBF is versatile and suitable for a variety of building types, providing a stable platform for different structures. 4.Ease of Installation:The system is relatively simple to install, making it accessible for a range of construction projects. 5.Thermal Performance:The blocks can be designed with voids to enhance insulation, improving the thermal performance of the building. 6.Reduced Site Waste:Compared to some traditional methods, BBF can generate less on-site waste during construction.
