Spec Card
A straightforward spec card for industrial floor systems in South African plants, warehouses and processing spaces.
How the Spec Card guides a floor project week
The Spec Card gives a clear summary of Oric floor systems for plants, warehouses and processing spaces in South Africa. Use it when the job is already defined and you need the practical system details in one place.
Start the Spec Card with the area name, current substrate and the dates available for preparation and installation. Include whether the site handles forklifts, pallet jacks, washdown, hot process water or chemical exposure. Conditions differ between inland dust on the Highveld and salt-heavy air near Durban and Cape Town, so the sheet should reflect the plant’s actual environment.
Add clear site photos before repair work, cleaning or stock moves change the surface. The Spec Card works best when it records cracks, joints, falls to drain, previous coatings and any section that must stay in service. Kept with the PO file or maintenance pack, it gives buyers, site staff and applicators one reference point.
What the Spec Card captures
This page sets out the key information needed to match an Oric industrial system to a working plant, warehouse or processing space. It brings build-up, loading, hygiene demands and substrate condition onto one sheet. That makes technical review easier when several people are signing off the same area.
Send the completed sheet with any earlier product name, failure point and programme constraint that affects access to the work zone. If there is delamination, dusting or moisture concern, note where it appears and how often the area is cleaned. You can pass these details through the contact form together with current site images.
- Area use, traffic and cleaning method
- Cracks, joints and moisture flagged
- Related: Systems, Plant plays, and Floor notes
- Photos and specification details attached
Checks that matter on site
South African industrial sites often combine older concrete, phased shutdowns and strict dispatch windows. A useful Spec Card notes what cannot be moved, which bays stay live and where cold rooms, drains or wash areas change the system requirement. Plants in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and regional centres rarely present the same substrate history.
Coastal humidity can influence moisture readings and curing conditions, while inland dust affects preparation and final cleanliness before application. In food and beverage plants, write down wash chemicals, slip-risk zones and temperature swing between process areas. Warehouses should record wheel type, racking loads and turning points where wear is concentrated.

Details worth adding first
Use the spec card to share site photos, programme dates, and the floor build-up, traffic load or earlier product choice that proved unsuitable. Keep the subject line accurate.

A stronger Spec Card includes the required finish, any line marking to be reinstated and whether anti-slip texture is needed in selected sections. Attach project notes where test patches, repairs or earlier coatings need to be referenced for procurement or maintenance records. That keeps the specification trail readable when the job passes between operations, engineering and purchasing.
