Constructing concrete floors today is competitive and demanding: owners want floors done faster and flatter than ever before. Laser screeding lets us lay concrete in wider bays of any size, dramatically reducing pour time, cutting the number of construction joints, and improving overall floor flatness — while reducing the labor required on site.
The technique eliminates the need to fix guide rails every four metres. Our laser screed machine simultaneously cuts, vibrates, and levels the concrete in a single pass, with all operations controlled by laser transmitters, receivers, and computers — removing manual error from the equation. Using this machinery, we can lay a high-tolerance concrete floor slab of up to 1,200 m² in a single day, achieving FM1, FM2 (special), FM2, and FM3 tolerances in accordance with the TR34 document.
Applicable Operations & Equipment

Racking Elevation: Above 13 Metres
Highest standard of levelness and flatness required for reach trucks operating above 13m without side-shift equipment.
TR34 Tolerance Metrics
Floor Classification for Free Movement (per TR34)
| Floor Class | Description | Property E (Levelness) | Property F (Flatness) |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM1 | Every high standard of flatness and levelness required. Reach trucks operating above 13m without side-shift. | 4.5 | 1.8 |
| FM2 | Reach trucks operating at 8–13m without side-shift. | 6.5 | 2.0 |
| FM3 | Retail floors taking directly applied finishes; retail trucks up to 8m without side-shift, or up to 13m with side-shift. | 8.0 | 2.2 |
| FM4 | Retail floors taking applied screeds; workshops/manufacturing facilities where MHE lift height is restricted to 4m. | 10.0 | 2.4 |
Manual Screeding vs. Laser Screeding
| Manual Screeding | Laser Screeding |
|---|---|
| Relatively slower than laser screed | Increased productivity and efficiency |
| Requires more joints on the floor | Reduces number of construction joints — more durability and strength |
| More chances of human error, compromising quality | Laser-precise flatness and levelness every time |
| No certification as such | FM certification available for the floor |
