Demarcation Line Marking

Demarcation Line Marking - lines marking the divisions between safety and potential danger, making them one of the most important and powerful safety tools. These can define the walkways from the roadways, the racking areas from the aisles, the escape routes from the transfer areas, the stacking areas from the loading bays.

Concrete Delamination

Concrete Delamination - is the debonding of a thin layer of concrete from the surface of a concrete slab.

Deformed Bar

Deformed Bar - A deformed bar is a type of dowel used in a formed joint when minimal movement is desired in the joint.

Deflection

Deflection - Elastic or creep deformation of the slab or its support under loading.

Defined Movement Survey

Defined Movement Survey - Defined Movement Surveys - Are conducted in high-bay, high racking warehouses and indicates a floors compliance to floor specifications.

Defined Movement

Defined Movement - Narrow aisles in warehouses where Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) only moves in defined paths.

Defect

Defect - A feature causing obvious serviceability or structural issues that directly prevents safe and efficient use of the floor.

De-Bonded Dowel

De-Bonded Dowel - De-Bonded dowels are steel bars or plates used at free movement joints to enable load transfer across joints whilst preventing restraint between panels by allowing horizontal movement by way of a debonding sleeve fitted to one side.
