Features

Construction
The combination of a wide range of steel grades and thicknesses in conjunction with a range of concrete strength provides the most economic series of product grades, capable of matching the most demanding requirements.

Understructure
Simple, but structurally effective understructure support systems, with excellent corrosion protection, cover the full range of floor heights.

Adjustment
Pedestal assemblies are designed to provide a wide range of height adjustment.

Size
The standard system module is 600mm x 600mm, with extremely close tolerances to ensure fully interchangeable panels.

Finishes
Standard surface finishes are coated steel for carpet and durable anti-static
high-pressure laminate.

Benefits

Durability
The inert combination of steel and concrete maximises durability and performance for the widest range of structural and dynamic loads. High factors of safety achieved by Tascor® provides great peace of mind and security.

Meets Standards
The development of Tascor® started with the need to meet and exceed the most rigorous standards and specifications used internationally.

This starting point means that there is a Tascor® grade to meet every standard.

Ongoing research and quality assurance in Tasman’s development laboratory ensures that whatever the application there is a Tascor® System to meet it.

Quiet
Tascor® Panels have the sound and feel of a concrete slab. Tests show measurably superior acoustic performance.

Structural Range

Panel strength
The choice of Tascor® panels and support systems provide an extensive range of effective strength to suit any application. Concentrated design loads ranging from 3.0kN to 6.0kN cover almost every conceivable requirement.

Safety
Tascor® Access Floor Systems provide a safety factor of three times concentrated design load.

Testing
Full testing facilities are located at the manufacturing plant for Certification and Quality Assurance programs. All testing is conducted on randomly selected standard product.

Floor Heights
Recommended nominal finished floor heights for standard product are:
Unifix®                 75mm to 750mm
Stringerless          75mm to 300mm
Stringered            150mm to 900mm

Technical Data

This chart provides an easy means of selecting the Tascor® Access Floor System to match the static and dynamic performance requirements of your project. Used with the Tasman Specifications on page 12, you will be able to document and specify an access floor system that will provide excellent long term service and performance in the most demanding environment.

Tasman has solutions to most non-standard needs. Please contact your local Tasman Representative.

Testing criteria

Tascor® has been designed and developed in Australia specifically to meet AS 4154-1993 Australian Standard – General Access floors (Elevated Floors). Also meets requirements under PSA PF2 (UK) and C.I.S.C.A. (USA) and EN 12825 (Europe).

#Impact loads are applied by dropping the specified mass from 900mm onto a spreader located centrally over a 25mm square indentor.

Panel Construction

All panels are specifically manufactured for different load requirements

• Top sheet tensile steel for precise flatness.
• Fully formed steel bottom pan with picture frame deep edges to provide balanced structural characteristics.
• Top sheet and bottom pan fully welded into precision sized interchangeable panels.
• Cementitious structural core material to strengthen and provide acoustic rating and fire resistance.
• All assembled into a high performance composite structural element for extended life.

Understructure Materials

All structural components, stringers, pedestal heads, pedestal bases, nuts are hot-dipped galvanised steel for lifetime protection. Gaskets are extruded or injection moulded positive locating plastic.

Unifix® Stringerless

• Provides maximum underfloor accessibility, while providing rigid membrane for high stability.
• Standard finished floor height systems provide for nominal finished floor heights from 150mm to 750mm with ±25mm minimum height adjustment (TC100).
• Low finished floor height systems provide for nominal finished floor heights from 75mm to 200mm with ±10mm minimum height adjustment (TC101).
• Unifix® Pedestal head design provides lateral stability and rigidity, with positive location lugs, providing safety even when the system is not locked.

Freelay Stringerless

• Absolutely maximises underfloor accessibility, while providing moderate stability.
• Standard finished floor height systems provide for nominal finished floor heights from 150mm to 300mm with ± 25mm minimum height adjustment (TC102).
• Low finished floor height systems provide for nominal finished floor heights from 75mm to 200mm with ± 10mm minimum height adjustment (TC103).

Bolted Stringer System

• Provides maximum grid rigidity under the most demanding conditions. Additional rigidity may be achieved using double length stringers (1200mm) (Codes TC104 and TC105 for low floor height).
• The panel is captured between the stringers to maximize void clearances.
• Freelay panels allow extreme frequencies of access without loss of structural rigidity.
• Provides reference grid grounding capability.
• Understructure resistance to earth of less than 1 ohm provides excellent life safety protection.

Pedestals Assemblies

• Standard field pedestal Assembly for Applications above 150mm Finished Floor Height.
• Standard Perimeter Pedestal Assembly above 150mm Finished Floor Height.
• Low Field Pedestal Assembly for Applications from 75mm Finished Floor Height with Equipotential Bonding Washer.
• Low Perimeter Pedestal Assembly for Applications from 75mm Finished Floor Height.
