Sols Industriels FM2/FM3 Superplats

Installation superplate FM avec certification de planéité mesurée au laser.

The Challenge

Automated distribution centres, very-narrow-aisle racking systems, and cleanroom-adjacent manufacturing facilities place demands on a floor that no conventional installation discipline can meet. Where a standard commercial slab tolerates surface deviation measured in centimetres, an FM-grade superflat installation is specified to tolerances measured in fractions of a millimetre — deviations invisible to the eye yet catastrophic to an automated guided vehicle navigating a 1.8-metre aisle at operating speed. A floor that falls short of the specified F-number does not merely inconvenience the occupant; it grounds a logistics operation.

Ghana’s industrial corridor — stretching from Tema’s port-adjacent facilities through the Airport City logistics cluster — has matured significantly. Pharmaceutical cold-stores, electronics assembly lines, and automated warehousing now specify floors that would have been considered engineering novelties in West Africa a decade ago. The specifying engineer today references TR 34 (fourth edition) flatness categories, F-number tolerances, and laser-flatness certification as standard procurement conditions. The contractor who cannot deliver documentary proof of flatness compliance is no longer competitive at this tier.

The consequence of under-specified installation is also financial. A racking system commissioned on a non-compliant floor generates warranty disputes, forklift tyre wear, goods-handling incidents, and — in cleanroom contexts — compromised airflow patterns that invalidate ISO 14644 certification. The cost of remediation post-handover vastly exceeds the cost of specifying correctly at the outset.

The Floors GH Solution

Since 1972, Floors GH has developed the installation methodology and site-management discipline that superflat specification demands. Every superflat project begins with a ASTM F2170 sub-floor moisture assessment — a non-negotiable protocol that prevents the moisture-migration failures that undermine even technically correct surface work. Substrate profiling is verified to ICRI CSP standards before any pour or coating sequence commences, ensuring that adhesion and flatness are built from the substrate upward rather than corrected at the surface.

Our superflat process employs laser-guided screed rails and real-time digital flatness monitoring throughout the pour sequence. Bubble-eliminating roller technique on all self-levelling compound applications removes entrapped-air defects that would otherwise create finish inconsistencies. A multi-stage quality-control sign-off — substrate, primer, mid-coat, finish — is documented at each phase, generating the written compliance record that a Tier-1 commissioning engineer expects as standard.

Where the environment additionally requires anti-static performance — data server halls, electronics assembly, or pharmaceutical dispensing zones — the installation is completed with ESD grounding-strap continuity testing post-installation, verifying that the completed floor meets specification before handover is signed. Floors GH issues laser-measured flatness certification as a standard handover deliverable on every superflat project.

Material + System Specification

Typical Project Profile

A superflat engagement typically encompasses a slab area of 2,000 to 20,000 square metres within an automated warehouse, pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, or precision-electronics plant. Installation is phased in bays to maintain operational adjacency where phased handover is required. Project duration ranges from three to twelve weeks depending on slab area and surface-prep condition. Sectors served include logistics and distribution, pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronics assembly, and data centre raised-floor interfaces across Accra, Tema Industrial, and Airport City.
