Structo-crete
™
structural concrete panels
weigh between 140 to 150 pounds per panel
and are designed to be carried and installed
by two people.
Because of the weight of these panels, it is
important that they are always laid flat on the
floor or flat over the framing, in a horizontal
position. Prior to installation on the floor framing,
panels may be placed on pallets or timbers.
Panels may be placed on pallets or timbers
spaced a maximum of 4 ft. o.c. with the end
supports within 1 ft. of the ends of the panel.
Structo-crete panels must never be stored in an
upright position, on their edges, leaning against
a wall or other vertical support. This creates a
tipping hazard. If these panels tip over they could
cause serious injury or death.
When placing pallets of material on a floor or
floor frame it is imperative that the pallet be
located over load bearing walls and framing that
are capable of supporting the total load of a 20
piece pallet, which ranges between 3000 to 3100
pounds. Consult a qualified structural engineer
or design professional, as required, for safe and
proper distribution of pallets of
Structo-crete
panels over a floor frame and/or floor structure.
Structo-crete structural concrete panels are cement based and are reinforced with glass fiber.
Wear protective gloves to prevent any irritation to hands from the cement or glass fiber.
Cut panels to size with a circular saw equipped with carbide-tipped blade and a dry dust collection device
or a water-dispensing device that limits the amount of airborne dust. Dust can contain silica. Wear safety
glasses and a NIOSH-approved N95 dust mask when cutting this panel.
