2017 | Super Flat Floor
Eldridge Concrete won a Golden Trowel and set a world record for Fmin Longitudinal Levelness for “The Lodge Cast Iron Distribution Center” in Tennessee. The overall average Fmin for this project is 165.8 This is a number representing the general quality of the aisle’s flatness and levelness as they affect the motion of the lift truck to be used on this floor. This is the third highest total ever recorded.
2015 | Ashley Furniture
As the largest furniture manufacturer in the world, Ashley Furniture’s newest distribution warehouse required a specialized team who understood the complexities in providing a flat and level concrete floor. This Ultraflat floor slab gives a perfect working surface for equipment, creating the safest environment for forklifts to place and retrieve product within the warehouse. Because of the concrete floor, Ashley Furniture can retrieve and deliver their product more efficiently to nearby retail locations.
Now in their third decade, Face Construction Technologies’ Golden Trowel Awards recognize the flattest and most level floor slabs placed on the globe. The mounted 24K gold-plated Marshalltown hand trowel award is regarded as one of the most prestigious honors in the concrete flooring industry. In conjunction with Eldridge Concrete Construction, the team produced the 2nd highest scores ever recorded by The Face Company for narrow aisle paving of this size.
