Surveying Smoothness of Concrete Floors
Surveying Smoothness of Concrete Floors
(OP)
Does anyone know of a software system that will show graphically smoothness of a concrete floor and any surveying methods used to achieve this?
We need to show compliance (or otherwise) of concrete floors for assessment and record.

We started using this system on electric power plant construction projects in the early 1990's. The results of the measurements are both objective and repeatable - ideal for enforcement of contract specifications. Specialized equipment is used to make the necessary measurements.
Here are a couple of links for information:

The F-number system can be used for ANY concrete surface, even those with the most basic finish.
We established our contract criteria by going to existing power plants and make the necessary measurements on various concrete floors that were satisfactory. This information,, the required F-number, was then put into new contracts as part of the technical specifications.
