Our Services
At AW Group, we provide expert design and detailing services for both suspended and ground-bearing industrial concrete floors, in full accordance with TR34 (Concrete Society Technical Report 34) and Eurocode 2 (EC2) standards.
Our approach balances technical performance, cost-efficiency, and constructability, ensuring floor slabs are optimised for their intended use—whether in heavy-duty warehouses, logistics hubs, distribution centres, or manufacturing facilities.
We consider a wide range of design criteria, including:
Load capacity for racking, vehicle movement, and plant
Joint layout and detailing to minimise maintenance
Reinforcement specification (mesh, fibres)
Flatness and levelness classifications to suit VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) or free-movement floors
Ground conditions and subbase preparation for ground-bearing slabs
Structural support and deflection control for suspended slabs
Our designs are fully compliant with TR34 4th Edition and Eurocode 2 (BS EN 1992), and we work closely with contractors and clients to ensure our detailing supports efficient on-site construction and long-term durability.
AW Group specialises in the detailing of reinforced concrete for large-scale industrial and commercial floor slabs, using CADS RC—a leading software platform for producing precise, code-compliant reinforcement drawings and bar bending schedules.
Our in-house team delivers fully coordinated reinforcement detailing, ensuring accurate placement, efficient steel usage, and constructability across all slab types, including:
Ground-bearing floor slabs
Suspended slabs
Composite
Heavy-duty and high-load industrial slabs
Using CADS RC, we provide:
Detailed reinforcement layouts with clear bar mark references
Bar bending schedules (BBS) aligned with site and supplier requirements
Integration with structural design models and coordination with TR34 or EC2-based specifications
Clash-checked drawings for improved site efficiency and reduced rework
Scalable outputs for high-volume or phased developments
By combining our technical understanding of structural floor behaviour with precision CADS RC detailing, AW Group helps clients and contractors deliver robust, compliant, and construction-ready slab solutions that stand up to the demands of modern industrial use.
AW Group offers specialist expertise in the detailing and coordination of structural joints in metal deck floor construction, ensuring safe, efficient, and buildable solutions tailored to the demands of composite concrete and steel framed systems.
We support both design-stage planning and construction-phase coordination, working closely with structural engineers, fabricators, and contractors to produce accurate, well-integrated joint layouts for:
Composite slabs on profiled metal decking
Beam-to-slab transitions
Reinforcement terminations and continuity strips
Temporary and movement joints
Pour break planning and sequencing
Our detailing process includes:
Integration with metal deck profiles and support systems
Alignment with Eurocode 4 and relevant UK National Annexes
Clash coordination with reinforcement, openings, and services
Clear drawings for site teams with bar placement and joint sequencing
Compatibility with pre-cambered steel beams and mesh/fibre-reinforced designs
With a deep understanding of structural performance and on-site constructability, AW Group ensures that joints are accurately detailed, logically sequenced, and fully coordinated, reducing on-site issues and improving slab integrity in composite deck systems.
AW Group provides complete structural design and detailing services for steelwork, masonry, and timber elements in residential construction — from single dwellings to multi-unit developments and extensions.
Our team delivers practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to the architectural vision, site constraints, and construction methods of each project. Whether it’s integrating new structure into existing buildings or designing from the ground up, we ensure all elements are safe, compliant, and ready for construction.
Our capabilities include:
Steelwork design: beams, columns, cranked steels, connection detailing, and portal frames
Masonry structures: loadbearing wall design, lintel and opening support, movement joints, and stability checks
Timber framing: roof structures, floor joists, rafters, trusses, and timber-to-masonry interfaces
All designs are prepared to Eurocode and British Standard requirements, with clear, builder-friendly drawings and specifications. We also coordinate closely with architects, building control, and contractors to resolve challenges early and support efficient site progress.
With a strong focus on residential buildability and structural integrity, AW Group helps clients and designers achieve homes that are not just compliant—but enduring and well-crafted from the inside out.
