SFRC Logistic Floors in Saudi Arabia

The logistics and warehousing industry in Saudi Arabia is growing at an unprecedented pace under Vision 2030. With the rise of fulfillment centers, mega-distribution hubs, cold storage facilities, and industrial warehouses, flooring systems need to be stronger, flatter, and more durable than ever.

This is where SFRC (Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete) floors provide a competitive advantage. Unlike traditional reinforced concrete floors, SFRC integrates dispersed steel fibers directly into the concrete mix, offering high tensile strength, crack resistance, and the ability to create jointless slabs—ideal for heavy forklift traffic and 24/7 logistics operations.

At DTC General Contracting, we design and execute SFRC logistic floors across Saudi Arabia, combining laser screed technology, optimized mix designs, and proven expertise to deliver world-class industrial floors.

What Are SFRC Floors?

SFRC stands for Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete. Instead of relying solely on rebar or mesh, short steel fibers (30–60 mm length) are mixed into the concrete, distributing tensile reinforcement throughout the slab.

Key Characteristics:

• Random fiber distribution – prevents localized cracking.

• Improved flexural strength – resists heavy point loads from racking and forklifts.

• Jointless construction – reduces saw-cut joints that typically fail under forklift traffic.

• Higher fatigue resistance – ideal for 24/7 logistics hubs with constant vehicle movement.

Why SFRC is Ideal for Logistic Hubs in Saudi Arabia

Logistic hubs demand more than ordinary floors. SFRC offers solutions to common challenges:

1. Crack Resistance

   • Fibers bridge micro-cracks and prevent them from growing into structural issues.

2. Jointless Slabs

   • Large panels (up to 50×50 m) can be cast without saw cuts, eliminating weak points.

3. Heavy Load Capacity

   • Withstands axle loads of 80–100 kN from forklifts and Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) trucks.

4. Abrasion & Impact Resistance

   • Ideal for high-traffic warehouses and cold storage zones.

5. Cost-Effectiveness

   • Reduces steel reinforcement requirements and long-term joint repairs.

Design Parameters for SFRC Logistic Floors

Designing SFRC floors requires precise engineering to meet operational demands.

1. Concrete Strength

• 35–45 MPa typical for logistic hubs.

• Adjusted for forklift load intensity and slab thickness.

2. Fiber Content

• 25–40 kg/m³ depending on floor usage.

• Higher dosage for heavy industries and cold storage.

3. Slab Thickness

• 180–250 mm for warehouses.

• 250–300 mm for high-bay racking with heavy forklifts.

4. Subbase Preparation

• Well-compacted subgrade (CBR > 8%).

• 150–200 mm granular subbase.

5. Flatness Tolerances

• TR-34 and FM2 standards for VNA forklift operations.

• Achieved using laser screed systems.

6. Joint Design

• No saw cuts required in jointless slabs.

• Construction joints armored with dowels and edge protectors.

Tools & Technologies in SFRC Flooring

• Laser Screed Machines – millimeter precision for flatness.

• Ride-On Trowels – finish for smooth, dust-free floors.

• CNC Mix Plants – ensure accurate fiber dosing and uniform distribution.

• Flatness Testing Tools (FF/FL meters) – compliance checks for TR-34/FM2 standards.
