Project Constraints Operating Woolworths supermarket in floor below +
carpark over
No space beneath could be used for construction
No significant construction noise during business hours.
Weight of new floor less than slab capacity.
Relatively long spans & falls in carpark

Core Connections Bars epoxied into core
Sleeved for movement
10mm isolation to existing slab

Why Isolate? Typical Slab Columns deflect to accommodate PT force
As slab is poured directly on existing, columns cannot deflect - post-tensioned force lost
