In what scenarios is the concrete laser leveling not applicable?
February 1, 2024
Concrete laser levelings may not be suitable or have limitations in the following scenarios:
1. The principle of laser leveling machine in small spaces or irregular terrain or the operation of very irregular terrain may be limited.
Because laser leveling machines require enough space to expand and move, conventional laser leveling machines may not be effective in very small spaces or in places with complex and varied terrain.
2. Short-time construction:
For emergency situations where construction needs to be completed in a short time, a laser leveler may not be the best choice. Because the laser leveling machine takes a certain amount of time to measure and position the construction area, the leveling process may need to be repeated multiple times to obtain a high-precision leveling effect.
3. Large-scale projects or large-area construction:
For large-scale projects or large-area construction areas, laser leveling machines may not be suitable. In this case, a larger or more powerful laser leveling equipment may be needed to meet the demand.
4. Complex shapes or specific requirements:
For construction that requires complex shapes or special requirements, the laser leveler may not be able to meet the requirements. Because laser leveling machines are mainly used to level the ground, other professional equipment and processes may be required for specific shapes or special requirements.
5. Maintenance and repairs:
For projects that have already been built or sites that require regular maintenance and repairs, a laser leveler may not be the best choice. Because laser levelings are primarily used for new project construction or large-scale levelinging projects, for small-scale repair or maintenance work, using traditional tools and methods may be more suitable.
Although the above scenario may not be applicable to laser leveling machines, you can still consider whether to use laser leveling machines or other methods for construction based on actual conditions. In practical applications, the construction unit should comprehensively consider factors such as the specific requirements of the project, construction conditions, budget, and construction period to select the most suitable construction methods and equipment.

Laser leveling machine super flat construction plan
The construction plan of the laser leveling machine is as follows Requirements for the base surface: The base surface must be firm, compacted, without settlement, cracking, no oil stains, no plastic film, no other paint, latex paint, bubble gum and other residues on the ground, and the base surface must be flat without large ups and downs, no bumps, honeycombs, or cement lumps. 1. Rolling of the bare soil, requiring compaction and flatness error of 2~3cm∕2m. 2. Pad construction: Use C15 fine stone concrete to cast a 6 cm thick pad layer, vibrate with a vibration pump, and the surface does not need to be smoothed. The flatness is maintained at 2cm∕2m. (This item is optional) 1. Ground treatment After the general contractor and the relevant construction parties have cleared away the large building materials and garbage in the construction area where the 6 cm cushion layer has been laid and handed it over to us, we will first clean up the dust in this area. If there is paint or other foreign matter that is not easy to combine with concrete on the ground, we must do everything we can to remove it. Then rinse the ground with water, and there must be no floating dust. If the base layer is higher in special places, it should be chiseled off with an electric pick or air compressor. 2. Preliminary measurement of elevation According to the basic elevation points given by the general contractor or Party A, the elevation of representative locations in the entire area is initially measured with a level to see how much the thickness of the concrete differs from the thickness required by the owner. (This measurement should be as many points as possible, otherwise it is not representative). In most cases, since the flatness of the base layer is not well controlled, once the elevation is measured, it can be seen how thick and thin the thick and thin parts and the thickness of most concrete are. If the thickness of most concrete exceeds the contract thickness, or is much lower than the contract thickness, the situation should be reported to the superior truthfully and a solution should be requested before the next step of construction can be carried out. 3. Rebar binding For the thicker 20cm thick floor poured in this project, according to the design requirements, double-layer bidirectional reinforcement is generally required. The reinforcement arrangement requires Φ12@150*150, and the upper and lower layers are connected by horse stools. The distance between horse stools is 1 meter. The surface layer reinforcement is 3~4 cm away from the floor elevation. In order to prevent the floor from settling, it is recommended to set up an integral continuous steel mesh. Or pour in separate compartments, but use force transfer rods to connect the plates. The force transfer rods can be Φ20@1000 round steel bars, with a spacing of 400. 4. Formwork 1.) According to the elevation confirmed by Party A, the template position is determined according to the floor drain position and water collection well position listed in the drawings and the slope requirements. This project is in an underground garage, and there may be a slope requirement, so the template can use angle irons of different specifications from Ф6.5*6.5*5 to Ф3*3*2 as the template. Use large specifications for thick concrete and small specifications for thin concrete. According to the designed slope, the compartment casting method is adopted. 2.) The leveling of this project needs to be leveled by a laser leveler. The uniform high-frequency vibration of the laser leveler makes the concrete floor dense and avoids the stress concentration caused by deformation and cracking of the floor. When using a laser leveler for leveling, you only need to make the frame template of each piece. When supporting the formwork, first use an ink fountain to pop up the template control line on the base ground. The line is appropriately wider than the edge of the future compartment seam by 1~2 cm, so that after the formwork is removed, the side seam is not straight due to local damage, and it can also be trimmed. If it can be guaranteed that the side seam after each demolding is a straight line, the template can also be directly supported on the natural seam of the future axis. 3.) On the control line, drill holes on the ground with an electric hammer every one meter or so. Generally, a 12×200 drill bit is used, and the penetration depth is about 14 cm. 4.) Nail the steel bars with a diameter of 12 mm cut into 14 cm each section into the drilled holes. It is required to be firmly driven until it can hardly be driven down. 5.) Place the angle iron near the firmly driven steel bars along the line direction. First, use wood or bricks to pad the two ends of the angle iron. The approximate height is about the same as the elevation. Then one person looks at the level, one person holds the tower ruler, and another person uses a wooden wedge to fine-tune the height of the angle iron at any time according to the elevation. After reaching the same elevation, the electric welder spot welds the angle iron to the top of the steel bar. Then weld the other end of the angle iron in the same way. After both ends are welded, weld the middle part of the angle iron. After welding, check the elevation of one side again. 6) Brush the template oil (waste engine oil) on the supported template to facilitate demoulding. 7) After the compartment formwork is supported, the angle irons are welded around the water collection well. The upper end of the angle iron should be consistent with the floor slope of the compartment, and ensure that water is concentrated to the water collection well from multiple directions. 8) The construction method of the angle irons at the edge of the water collection well for the first floor with only floor drains but no water collection well and car ramp is the same as in Article 7.Read More

How to deal with common faults of laser leveling machine
The application of laser leveling machine has been very extensive. It can be said that all places that need floor construction need to use leveling machine, because the effect of using leveling machine for floor construction is very good, and the ground is compacted. It is solid, flat and compact, so there are so many people who like to use laser leveling machines for work. Of course, some failures will also occur during the work of the leveling machine. Let's learn about the following two common failures. First. Overheating of hydraulic oil: If the oil temperature of the laser leveling machine hydraulic system is too high, the viscosity of the oil will decrease, the leakage will increase, the oil film of the lubricated part will be damaged, and the wear of the components will be aggravated; at the same time, the high temperature will also make the gasket made of rubber and other materials overheat. Damaged by premature aging. Therefore, it is very important to control the appropriate oil temperature. When the oil temperature is too high, the laser leveling machine must be stopped for inspection, generally starting from the following aspects: 1. Check whether the liquid level of the fuel tank is too low. Experience shows that the high oil temperature is often caused by the lack of oil in the fuel tank, so it should be replenished in time when the oil is lacking. 2. Whether the hydraulic oil filter element and the circuit are blocked. 3. Is the radiator of the laser leveling machine normal? If a large amount of dust adheres to the radiator, it can lead to poor heat dissipation and increase the oil temperature. Since the working environment of the laser leveling machine is dusty, the radiator should be cleaned in time. 4. Whether the quality of hydraulic oil is qualified. If the quality of the added oil is unqualified, it will also cause the system oil temperature to be too high. In addition, when the hydraulic system works when it is short of oil, it is easy to cause damage to the pump and motor. Therefore, after the oil shortage fault is eliminated, the operation status of the pump and motor should be checked, and the damaged parts of the pump and motor should be replaced if necessary. Second. The screw distributor does not work: Sometimes the left and right distributors of the laser leveling machine do not work, and the reason is generally that the oil replenishment system is faulty. The reasons for the low pressure of the charge oil system are: the oil inlet passage of the charge pump is not smooth; the pressure of the relief valve of the charge pump is low; the charge pump itself is faulty; the hydraulic motor is seriously leaking. Generally, the charge pump and its relief valve should be inspected mainly. Before the hydraulic oil is added to the hydraulic oil tank, it should be filled in a clean container, and the hydraulic oil must be filtered by the oil filter before being added to the hydraulic oil tank; the replacement cycle of the hydraulic oil depends on the quality of the oil used (usually every 1000h). The hydraulic oil should be kept at the working temperature; in order to ensure good heat dissipation of the hydraulic system, the hydraulic oil radiator should be cleaned regularly. The above two common fault handling methods for laser leveling machines are introduced here. I hope you can get some substantial reference value from our article.
