Re: Walk In Cooler Floor
The sub structure under the concrete slab is critical for that sort of loading per square foot, add the reinforcing in concrete slab is as well critical to stop/ avoid cracking of slab.
By you saying chiller , do you mean above 32'F nominal, even approaching 32 'F you should concider under floor ventilation. Plus include vapour barrier separation under construction slab.
Consult with a reputable Structural Engineer.Last edited by Magoo; 09-10-2012 at 02:28 AM. Reason: 2 finger typing

Re: Walk In Cooler Floor
i will have a vapor barrier, but not ventilation, I hooked up with a concrete dude and he will have it reinforced and do all the calculations. Thanks for the time, cheers.
