1. Introduction
Findo Teknik, is a supplier and applicator of high-tech commercial and indutrial superflat floors. We
have well experienced and competent management, reliable supervisors and a team of highly skilled
& experienced workers.
We work hand-in-hand with our principal manufacturers to ensure that we constantly provide the
best quality products and produce remarkable performance at a cost-effective price, tailored to
individual needs.
Our customer are our most valuable asset. Thus, we strive to yield the best return to our customers
investment in terms of quality, time and cost.
2. Sub-base slab
The sub-base for the concrete floor must be construted according to the specification. The
sub-base must be well compacted and well prepared in order to avoid settlement in the
future.
: Min 30 MPa
: 11 1 cm (arrival on site) & consistent in quality
: 3 to 5 hours
4. Quality control
The main Contractor, the concrete supplier and floor specialist shall implement quality
control testing throughout the supply of the concrete to the project so as to fulfill the
performance requirements of the specifications
The design mix is to be pre-determined.
The sand silt content should not be more than 1 %.
Air entraining agent is not recommended if floor hardener is to be used.
5. Pour Schedules
Determine the sequence and timing of each pour with consideration of the following : o Detemine area to be poured and finished in each work period.
o Formwork should be made of rigid steel with top level same as floor finishing level.
o Ensure concrete will be delivered in uniform and continuous supply for each
concrete pouring.
o The interval for each truck is to be on time to ensure a continuous flow of concrete.
o Slump test is to be done for every truck.
o Concrete laying shall be in one direction following the floor level.
o The vibrating lazer screed shall move backwards to strike off the access concrete
and flatten the surface to the floor finish level.

6. Environmental Control
The concrete placing and finishing for the floor hardener shall be protected against direct sun light,
rain and strong wind.
Roof and side wall claddings must be installed before the construction of the slab.

7. Sequence of Work
7.1. Set up Lazer Screed
The main contractor shall provide suitable bench marks for setting up of lazer base stations.
The main contractor shall also provide lifting services to unload equipment and shift the
equipment to the floor for the setting up of the equipment.
Setting up of lazer screed shall be done by the subcontractor.
7.2. Initial concrete placement
All concrete to be discharged into the pouring area shall follow good concrete placing
method.
7.3. Vibrating concrete
During concrete discharge, wet concrete shall be vibrated with a poker vibrator especially at
edges or beam area. The vibrator shall be inserted vertically into the concrete.
7.4. Floor finishing consists of five major steps
A. Striking-off
B. Flatness Enhancement
C. Application of floor hardener (where applicable)
D. Floating (Ride-on trowel and power trowel)
E. Trowelling to Dense Smooth Finish
A. Striking-off
Also known as screeding by Lazer Screed is the process of leveling the fresh concrete. It
takes place immediately after the placing and compacting operations. It is important to
have good accuracy in striking to achieve floors flatness and levelness.
B. Flatness enhancement.
The flatness of the floor is further enhances by flat floor tools and equipment. These
equipment includes channel float, checker rod and bump cutter.
7.5. Measurement for floor Flatness (F) Dipstick F Number System
The measurements (FF) are to be done using the Dipstick digital floor measurement
instrument capable of reading to 0.1mm accuracy in accordance to ASTM E1155 and ACI
302 Standard.
7.6. Time of measurement (FF)
Measurement of floor flatness should be made, within 72 hours especially on the first mock
up sample.
7.7. Handover
The completed floor shall be considered handover to main contactor after inspection and
measurement of floor finish. The floor shall be protected by main contractor.

Scope of Works
Findo Teknik
1. Planning and coordinating with main
contractor for pouring schedule, size of
casting and joint location.

Main Contractor
Make available floor plan and target
schedule of construction.
Compaction of sub-base & lean concrete
construction, where applicable
Supply & laying of wire mesh,
reinforcements, embedded parts, &
formwork.
Provide suitable bench marks near to
pour area and confirm in writing prior to
casting of concrete.
Supply and install timber steel formwork
along perimeter or any drop off floor
slab; top level of formwork should be the
final finished level of concrete floor.
Provide lifting equipment to unload, shift
and place the equipment onto area near
to casting floor.
Provide and install dowel bars along
expansion joints in accordance to design
drawings.
Carry our slump test before placing of
concrete for each and every truck. Ensure
readymix supply is regular without long
break interval.
Supply and laying of concrete according
to good concrete practice. Preliminary
leveling of concrete surface.
Cleaning of slurry by concrete workers on
the both side of panels.
Provide lighting, water and storage area
for material and equipment. Supply and
laying of concrete according to good
concrete pratice.
Provide protection to the floor slab after
handover from Findo.
Provide and placing of curing compound
according to requirement
Measurement
Use Floor Dipstick to measure floor flatness
and floor levelness and submit Dipstick
report.

APPENDIX B
Method Statement
CONSTRUCTION OF FLAT FLOOR
This Method statement desribes the construction of flat floor standard of. It briefly outlines the
process and method of the construction : 1
Floor Base
Main contractor must ensure that the floor base is firm and well compacted according to
specifications.
Floor Preparation
Main contractor must ensure that the floor base be thoroughly cleaned by high pressure
water jet or compressor air. BRC should be at least 50mm lower than the Finished Floor
Level. BRC or reinforcement should be properly supported by chairs at regular interval of
not more than 60 cm. Formwork should set up accurately and secured firmly such that its
top elevation is the same as the final finished elevation of concrete floor.
Roof protection
Building roof covering, gutter, rain water down pipe and side caldding shall be erected
before the commence of flat floor concreting. This avoids the possible negative impact on
the floor flatness & levelness due to rain, sun shine and strong wind.

Bull floating
Spread, float & work to integrate the floor hardener incorporate into the top layer of the
concrete by bull-float at the initial stage and subsequently by power floating machine as the
concrete gradually hardens up.

APPENDIX D
Specifications of Floor Flatness & Levelness
According to American Concrete Institute ACI 302.1R-04, Guide for Concrete
Floor and Slab Construction, states that F-numbers define the flatness and
levelness of a constructed concrete floor surface. The flatness F-number (FF)
controls local surface bumpiness by limiting the magnitude of successive 300
mm slope changes when measured along sample measurement lines in
accordance with ASTM E 1155 (Standard Test Method for Determining FF Floor
Flatness and FL Floor Levelness Numbers). The levelness F-number (FL) controls
local conformance to design grade by limiting differences in departure from
design grade over distances of 3 m when measured along sample measurement
lines in accordance with ASTM E 1155.
The F-number pair is always written in the order FF/FL. In theory, the range of
flatness and levelness F-numbers extends from zero to infinity. In practice, FF
and FL values generally fall between 12 and 45. The scale is linear, so the
relative flatness/levelness of two different floors will be in proportion to the ratio
of their F-numbers. For example, and FF30/FL24 floor is twice as flat and twice
as level as an FF15/FL12 floor.
As there is manual floor hardener application, the floor specification that is
achievable is FF35/FL25 floor which is defined as flat floor according to ACI
117-06.
