Strengthening India
Going Global
Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL) is one of India's major steel producers with a significant presence in sectors like
Steel, Mining, Power Generation, Petroleum, Infrastructure, Cement and Info-solution.
From the widest flat product to a whole range of long products, JSPL today sports a product portfolio that caters to
varied needs in the steel market. The company also has the distinction of producing the world's longest 121 meter
rails and introducing parallel flange beams in India.
Recently JSPL has arised with revolutionary and innovative technique to eliminate the outdated conventional flooring
system with suspended concrete flooring system known as Jindal Speedfloor. The manufacturing facility for Jindal
Speedfloor is located 30kms away from the heart of Raigarh City, Chattisgarh at O.P. Jindal Knowledge Park,
Punjipatra.
With an annual turnover US $ 3.5 billion, JPSL has committed investments exceeding US $ 30 billion in the future
and has several business initiatives running simultaneously across India, South-East Asia, Africa, South America,
Australia and Georgia.

Our name says it all.

SPEEDFLOOR, the unique suspended concrete flooring system, is an innovation in the building industry. So quick and easy to install,
SPEEDFLOOR is a lightweight, cost-effective system that's perfect for multi-storey buildings and carparks. Whether it's one storey or fifteen,
the recipe is very simple. take sufficient quantity of SPEEDFLOOR, add structural steel or concrete supports, mix concrete and pourlAt the
heart of the system is a specially rollformed, galvanised steel joist that offers all the benefits of an open-webbed truss system at a more
enough to be man- handled into place, reducing cranaage costs. Services are easily accommodated through the joists which are delivered to
the site ready to install. SPEEDFLOOR The perfectly simple, simply perfect solution to multi-storey construction.

l Steel used for making JOIST is of Grade 350 which has a minimum yield stress of 350MPa and a

minimum tensile stress of 380Mpa as well a minimum coating of Z275 is maintained.

l Generally Speedfloor uses a 75mm or 90mm topping in comparison to the other conventional

RCC flooring systems.

No propping is required.
The joists are lightweight, requiring less craneage than other concrete flooring systems.
Services can be passed through the holes pre-punched in the joist
The bottom of the joist can support a suspended fire rated ceiling directly fixed to the joist.
The lockbars and plywood sheets are reusable.

Easy to install

Lockbars, which will
support the plywood
shuttering, are slid into
the slots punched in the
top section of the joist and
by engaging the notches
at both ends of the lock
bar, the exact spacing of
the joist is secure.

The individually marked,

lightweight rollformed
steel joists are easily lifted
into place on the support
medium.

Lockbars are placed

approximately 300mm
apart to give the
plywood good support.

The plywood is introduced
from the top and is held in
position by the cam action
of the lockbars. A working
platform from which the
rest of the plywood can be
laid is quickly progressed
down the building

The mesh is laid out and

tied into place. No stools
are required as it is held
off the deck by the top
section of the joist, which
becomes embedded in the
concrete and will gain
composite action once the
concrete is cured.

The finished floor after the

lock bars and plywood are
removed reveals the
concrete soffit and exposed
joist where services can be
passed through prepunched holes. The bottom
of the joist can support a
suspended fire rated ceiling
directly fixed to the joist.

The concrete slab topping has a compressive strength of 32MPa after 28 days.

Speed floor system can meet fire rating requirement set out in building codes through various means such as fire resistant painting
of joists, fire rated ceiling.
