#1 Speed of Construction
As steel decking sheets are laid by hand and not by crane, this method is far less time consuming that other method of floor construction which require cranes to install. This method does not only boost up construction but also dramatically reduces costs as no heavy-duty machines are required.
#2 Saving in weight
Composite slabs using steel decking are considerably fit and stronger than many other flooring systems, so the weight and size of the primary structure can be reduced. Consequently, foundation sizes can also be reduced.
#3 Easy Installation of services
pipes can be hung from the underside of the steel decking by gathering them to special ‘dovetail’ recesses fixed into the decking profile. Using this relatively lowcost method often leads to a saving in cost compared to other flooring systems where the installation of services is far more complex and very expensive.
