Eslab utilises a new "Bi-Directional" method of forming cold rolled composite steel/concrete slabs 

Bi-Directional Steel Decking

• Unlike standard Uni-directional (or one way) decking profiles, Eslab is designed as a Bi-Directional (two way) panelised system

• With a Bi-Directional system the thicker gauge steel (typically 1.9mm) can be placed strategically within the slab ribs and is not wasted in non-critical infill areas of the profile

• In a Bi-Directional system thin gauge steel (typically 0.6mm) is used for the infill between the structural ribs

• Bi-Directional decking efficiencies cannot be matched by any standard metal deck profile

How is this achieved?

• Custom steel "Rib" profiles are connected to metal infill sheets via engineered shear connectors

• The engineered shear connections between the steel ribs, infill sheet and in-situ concrete topping are key to Eslab's strength, efficiency and innovation
