What an industrial floor spec covers
Flatness comes as two numbers. In the American Concrete Institute's terms, FF shows how bumpy or wavy the surface is, down to the strike-off and finishing, and FL how level it is, down to how level the forms were set. ACI 302.1R's typical values put a warehouse with moderate or heavy traffic at FF/FL 35/25, against 20/15 for noncritical spaces like mechanical rooms.
Joints that carry lift trucks
On busy industrial floors, NRMCA wants joints filled with a material that supports their edges, so the edges don't spall. It advises against keyed joints and calls for metal dowels where slabs carry heavy loads.
The ground under a Waco floor
The county soil survey puts clayey upland soils, most high in shrink-swell, under about 26 percent of McLennan County, and soil over limestone, a good foundation for houses and roads but commonly hard to dig, under about 22 percent. Outside paving falls under our commercial concrete work, and slabs that wall panels are cast on under tilt-wall construction.

Drawings and estimate
Send the FF/FL numbers, racking plan and loads; joints, finish and pour sequence are priced from them.
Vapor retarder, pour and finish
NRMCA wants a vapor retarder of 10 mils or thicker and calls one sensible planning under every interior floor slab. Then the concrete goes in; FF will show how well it was struck off and finished.
Measure inside 72 hours
Flatness is tested within 72 hours of finishing, since curing can curl the slab; local minimums are typically 60% of the overall numbers.

Industrial concrete floor questions
Can you use concrete slab as a floor?
Yes. One published guide says a properly installed and sealed interior concrete floor can last indefinitely.
What are the best finishes for concrete floors?
NRMCA's rule for hard-troweled slabs is no air-entrained concrete, since it raises the risk of the top layer delaminating, and 3% air at most.
What is a superflat floor?
A floor built to very high flatness numbers. One published guide notes that a driveway might score 10 on the FF scale, while a superflat floor could reach as high as 125.
Does racking height change the floor spec?
It can. ACI notes that a warehouse floor's levelness can limit how high pallets are safely stacked. One engineering course, from its author's experience, suggests FF/FL 35/25 where shorter racking holds product to, say, 20 feet, and 50/35 for taller or automated racking.
