About Us

A specialized firm in industrial slab design, with over 20 years of experience and presence in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States

Technical expertise and independence

LTPisos is a company specialized in industrial slab and concrete pavement design, with over 20 years of experience, over 100 projects executed and over 2.5 million m² built in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and the United States.

We work alongside clients, developers, construction companies and engineering firms, providing specialized technical expertise in ground-supported structures for demanding operations in the logistics, retail and industrial sectors.

A firm with recognized technical backing, proven international presence and over two decades of operating projects.

Engineering in service of the project

LTPisos' differentiation lies in its technical depth and independence from products and suppliers. This allows analyzing each project from an engineering perspective, comparing slab alternatives based on loads, type of operation, geometry, flatness level, soil conditions, budget and constructability.

The result is solutions tailored to project reality, not generic proposals or conditioned by a specific technology.

There is no single solution that works for all projects. The choice of slab type is a technical decision that must be evaluated case by case with engineering criteria.

How We Work

A proven methodology that provides technical traceability to each design decision, from information gathering to construction support

1

Diagnosis and Requirements

We receive the basic project information: type of use, loads, rack layout, operation equipment, soil conditions, construction constraints and slab performance expectations.

2

Analysis and Slab Type Selection

We evaluate design alternatives independently of products, recommending the option with the best balance between performance, cost and constructability.

3

Design and Documentation

We develop structural design with proprietary software (OptiSlab), generate detail drawings, technical specifications and the necessary documentation to support the solution.

4

Construction Support and Delivery

We accompany execution with technical visits and field advice. We review specification compliance and support resolution of unforeseen situations during construction.

Why Choose Us

Truly independent advice that generates long-term value

Total Independence

We are not linked to any product, supplier or specific technology. We recommend solutions with total objectivity, ensuring the best alternative for each project.

Advanced Modeling

We use modeling tools that better represent the actual behavior of the slab, reducing uncertainty and allowing more adjusted safety factors.

Long-term Value

Slabs with better performance over time, greater flatness, lower cracking levels, better joint performance and therefore reduced maintenance needs. We have verified slabs with over 15 years in excellent condition.

Proven Experience

Over 15 years participating in large-scale projects in Chile and Latin America: distribution centers, industrial facilities, logistics warehouses and special projects.

📊

Design Right from the Start

The design of an industrial slab is a critical structural decision. Making a good decision from the start is the difference between a slab that works and one that causes problems.

🌎

International Presence

Projects executed in Chile, Peru, Colombia, USA, Mexico and Costa Rica. Experience in understanding how slabs behave in real operation in different contexts.

Our Services

Services aimed at supporting all stages of the project, from initial design to evaluation of existing slabs, with focus on technically sound, buildable solutions consistent with the client's real operation

Choice and Design of Industrial Slabs

Complete structural design development: load evaluation, slab type selection, definition of thicknesses, joints, construction details, technical specifications and calculation memory.

Technical Field Advisory

Professional support during construction to review design criteria, resolve technical questions and contribute to correct slab execution on site.

Existing Slab Consulting

Technical evaluation of slabs with deterioration, cracks, flatness problems or operational performance. Includes diagnosis and repair, maintenance or improvement recommendations.

Technical Specifications

Writing and review of specifications for bids, contracts and construction, including acceptance criteria, flatness tolerances, material requirements and joint details.

Quality Control

Supervision and flatness measurement according to applicable standards, thickness control, material review and verification of compliance with relevant construction procedures.

Technical Training

Lectures and workshops for site teams, clients and professionals on design, construction, control and maintenance of industrial slabs and pavements.

Industrial Slab Technologies

Being a product-independent consultant, the recommendation is defined case by case according to project engineering: operation, loads, flatness, budget and soil conditions

1

Post-tensioned Slab

High-performance system for heavy traffic. Reduces or eliminates saw-cut joints and is especially convenient in demanding operations with small hard-wheeled equipment, where slab continuity and durability are critical.

No joints Heavy traffic Super flat
2

Shrinkage-Compensating or Volumetric Stability

Large panels without saw-cut joints, suitable for heavy traffic operations and slabs with high flatness requirements. Requires careful design and execution of joints, edges and materials to ensure performance.

No saw-cut joints Heavy traffic Alta planeidad
3

Strategically Reinforced Slabs

Widely used system in distribution centers. It considers controlled-size panels with load transfer bars at joints and a layout designed to improve performance against traffic and slab durability.

2.5 - 4.5 m High durability Versatile
4

Smaller Size, Interlocking Slabs (2 to 3 m)

Proven solution for warehouses with tall racks and medium or low traffic. Reducing panel size improves curling control and load transfer. Adding structural fiber further improves performance. Not recommended for heavy traffic due to high joint maintenance, but is an economical option for low-traffic slabs.

2 - 3 m Curling control Tall racks
5

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Concrete reinforced with structural fiber significantly increases the load-bearing capacity of the slab without visible signs of cracking, while also providing greater design flexibility. FRC is compatible with various paving solutions and, in the presence of visible cracks or fissures, the fiber helps contain them, optimizing performance under applied loads.

Greater capacity
6

Vehicle Traffic Pavements

Design of pavements for areas with truck traffic, forklifts and yard vehicles, considering fatigue, load transfer and structural support according to the operational conditions of each facility. The OptiPave System technology is usually employed, which optimizes performance and reduces costs.
