2 I. GENERAL 1. System Description: 1.1 Size The raised access floor system shall consist of 600mm x 600mm x 3mm modular steel cement panels/ cementitious panels / cement filled panels as manufactured by RFT. The panels should be interchangeable with other panels except where cut for specific purposes. 1.2 Support The floor is to be supported by a steel understructure consisting of an adjustable pedestal assembly with a finished floor height measured from the slab to finished top of the panel. 2. Quality Assurance: 2.1 Manufacturing The manufacturing of the raised access floor components shall be under the stringent ISO quality management system. All structural access floor components shall be supplied by one manufacturer to ensure compatibility with ISO and maintain the standards. 2.2 Testing Method for testing concentrated, ultimate and rolling loads of access floor panels shall be in accordance with international standards and procedures such as CISCA and shall be performed by an independent testing laboratory. 2.3 Installation Installation of the raised access floor shall be approved by the general contractor, before other trades are involved to maintain the integrity of the installed floor system. Traffic shall not be permitted on any floor area for at least 48 hours allowing for the pedestal adhesive to set.

3 3. Submitals The successful sub-contractor must submit the following documentation within six months after adjudication of the tender or by negotiation. 3.1 Certificates From the approved testing laboratory, showing compliance with the requirements of the load performance table or specified design loads. 3.2 Data sheets Systems and components data sheets fully describing and specifying the performance of components and the overall system. 4. Site Conditions 4.1 Storage and sub-floor General contractor shall provide a dry, secure storage and clean sub-floor which is free of dust, construction debris, and items from other trades during the installation of the access floor. II. PRODUCTS 1. Panels 1.1 General The panels s h a l l b e steel cement /cementitious /cement f i l l e d of size m m x 600mm x 3 m m and C800 / C 1000 / C120 model, and consist of structurally rigid c e l l assemblies fabricated entirely from non-combustible components. They shall consist of a flat steel top of thickness 0.8 / 1.0 / 1.2mm resistance welded in minimum 100 locations to steel bottom section of 0.7 / 1.0 / 1.0mm. The exterior surface of the access floor panel shall be protected from corrosion by a process of cleaning, phosphating, and coating with an electro-statically applied rust resistant and conductive polyester powder coating paint to a thickness of 60 microns. The panel shall be capable of supporting the design load with a minimum safety factor of 3 at the weakest point of the panel, based on ultimate strength of the material. 1.2 Filling The core interior of the panel should be filled with non-combustible cementitious compound, to support no less than 80% of the top skin or surface of the panel. 4.2 Delivery Materials shall be delivered in original, unopened packages clearly labelled with the manufacturer's name and item description. Material packages shall be distributed around the area where they will be used to avoid overstressing the sub-floor and to facilitate i n s t a l l a t i o n. 1.3 Covering T h e p a n e l s shall be either supplied bare, coated with an electro-statically applied rust resistant and conductive polyester powder coating paint to a thickness of 60 microns, or with a factory finish option as per architectural recommendations. Vinyl finishes to be 1.mm anti-static or conductive; HPL finishes to be 1.0mm anti-static. 4.3 Site conditions The building shall be enclosed and the temperature shall be maintained between 10ºC and 30ºC and max. 7 % R.H.

4 2/A Cross-Head Understructure 2.1 Pedestal assembly The Cross-Head understructure system shall consist of an electro-galvanised and factory assembled pedestal base, aluminium die-cast cruciform shape pedestal head, with a black conductive pvc gasket. The system shall be capable of supporting an axial load of not less t h a n kn for a finished floor height of 7mm to 300mm. The pedestal assembly shall be specific to the Cross-Head understructure system as manufactured by RFT. 2.2 Pedestal base The pedestal base should consist of a 10 0 m m x 100mm x 2. 0 m m thick electro-galvanised steel base plate welded to a 19.0mm outside diameter electro-galvanised steel threaded rod. 2.3 Pedestal head The pedestal head shall consist of a 71 m m x 71 m m cruciform die-cast aluminium composite h e a d with a material thickness of 3.0mm, threaded into an electro-galvanised threaded tube of 19.0mm outside diameter. A black rubber conductive gasket is placed on the cruciform head and is an integral part of the system. 2.4 Assembly A corrosion resistant 9mm deep electro-galvanised nut shall be provided and shall allow for adjustment of the pedestal assembly over a minimum range of 0mm. 2/B Stringer Grid Understructure 2.1 Pedestal assembly The Stringer Grid understructure system shall consist of a pedestal assembly that shall be designed to allow the mechanical fixing of hollow galvanised tube sections (stringers). The pedestal assembly shall consist of an electro-galvanised and factory assembled pedestal base and pedestal head, which shall be capable of supporting an axial load of not less than kn for a finished floor height of 10mm to 1800mm. The pedestal assembly shall be specific to the Stringer Grid system as manufactured by RFT. 2.2 Pedestal base The pedestal base should consist of a base plate 9 7 m m x 97mm x 2. 0 m m e l e c t r o - g a l v a n i s e d steel mechanically fixed / welded to a 2.0 mm outside diameter electro-galvanised steel tube with a wall thickness of 1.6mm. 2.3 Pedestal head The pedestal head shall consist of a 7 6 m m x 7 6 m m electro-galvanised steel plate, with a material thickness of 3.0mm, welded to an electro-galvanised threaded tube of 19.0mm outside diameter. 2.4 Assembly A (two) corrosion resistant 9mm deep electro-galvanised nut(s) shall be provided and shall allow for adjustment of the pedestal assembly over a range of 0mm without rotation of the pedestal head. The nut shall be prevented from rotating by using an extra 9mm deep electro-galvanised nut or a tapered pedestal base tube. 2. Stringer The stringer shall be of 1.0mm thick cold-rolled hot-dipped galvanised steel section, nominally 600mm in length, designed to be mechanically fixed with a galvanised 6.0mm thick screw onto the pedestal head.
