From the Ceiling to the Floor!

Ex: Composite Steel Deck Floor System
The new construction at the library now has levels!!  The crew has been working hard to get in the Composite Steel Deck Floor System.  This consists of a high strength structural steel deck- that's all those corrugated metal sheets you see layed on the new "floors".  When this is complete, a structural concrete slab will be poured on top of these sheets.  Composite Metal Floor Deck is typically used for multi-story buildings and creates a reinforced concrete slab that serves the dual purpose of permanent form and positive reinforcement.  In other words, it'll be extra sturdy!!
