	The Pollok Shopping Centre Development, located in Pollok, Glasgow, is a multi storey development with the ground floor slabs all constructed using post-tensioned concrete. With a ground floor area of approximately 30,000m² and poor ground conditions existent on the site, the use of post-tensioned slabs enabled the removal of half the foundations to the ground floor and provided significant savings to the contract programme. The conforming scheme for the ground floor was 325-400mm thick RC slabs on a 7.5m x 5m grid of RC ground beams. ConForce were able to re-design these slabs and utilise a 275mm post-tensioned flat plate on a grid of 7.5m x 10m with no ground beams required. The post-tensioned slabs were designed to span two ways between pile caps. With the ground floor slab divided into 40 individual pours of approximately 750m² per pour, the site program was on average 3 pours per week for the duration of the project.
