A leading distribution center in Ft. Mill, South Carolina, faced significant challenges with sweating slabs, particularly during the fall months. This issue, which occurred mostly at night and into the morning, created hazardous slip conditions. The facility needed a cost-effective and logistically viable solution to eliminate this slip hazard.
Challenge
The sweating slab problem was most severe during the transition from warm days to cold, rainy nights, leading to dangerous working conditions. The facility’s design and engineering team sought an effective solution to address this persistent issue.
Solution & Installations
The team contacted Airius for assistance. After gathering detailed information about the space, Airius proposed a layout featuring their Air Pear Series fans. With a total of 10 Air Pear Series fans strategically placed throughout the facility. These fans were evenly distributed at ceiling level and designed to work in concert to project air from the ceiling to the floor in a controlled column, effectively mixing the air and preventing stagnation.
Results
The Air Pear Series fans provided gentle air movement across the slab and between hard-to-reach conveyor areas. By continuously capturing warm air near the ceiling and projecting it down, the concrete slab’s temperature was maintained above the dew point, effectively preventing sweating.
Client Feedback
“We had a major weather change earlier this week that would have normally caused floor sweating. We did not have any issues. The weather went from very warm and sunny over the weekend to cold and rainy on Monday/Tuesday. I was here in the evening and night on both days and the floor remained dry. So far it is working out very well.” – April 27, 2017
“We could not be more pleased with the fans. There have been no floor sweating issues since they were installed except in one area not under the fans. The weather has presented conditions where we would normally experience significant sweating but the fans have prevented it. We are currently leaving them running all the time. Thanks!” – July 6, 2017
“Everything is going great. Hope they are with you. It was the best investment we have probably made in our station. I have not seen any ‘Sweat Slab’ issues since the install of the fans. They are doing their job perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for a better solution. Thanks for checking on us but more importantly thanks for your involvement with our station to get this project completed.” – November 9, 2017
