Laser Screed
Concrete Services
South Carolina's most precise commercial concrete floors. Laser-guided technology for perfectly flat, level surfaces that outperform the industry standard.
The Most Precise Concrete Floor Technology Available
Laser screed technology uses a rotating laser beam to automatically control the elevation of the screed head during concrete placement. The result is a dramatically flatter, more level concrete surface than traditional hand screeding methods can achieve.
JMP Construction's laser screed equipment eliminates human error from the leveling process entirely. A laser transmitter establishes a precise reference plane, and sensors on the screed head continuously adjust to maintain exact elevation — producing a consistent, superior surface across even the largest commercial floors.
Why Flatness Matters
In facilities using forklifts, high-rack storage, or automated equipment, floor flatness directly impacts safety, efficiency, and long-term operational costs. A flatter floor means faster operations, fewer equipment issues, and a longer floor life.
How Laser Screed Works
Laser Setup
A laser transmitter is mounted and rotates 360° to establish a perfectly level reference plane across the entire pour area.
Sensor Calibration
Receivers mounted on the screed head lock onto the laser plane and continuously monitor elevation to within a fraction of an inch.
Automated Leveling
As concrete is placed, the screed head automatically raises and lowers in real time to match the laser reference — eliminating operator error.
Superior Finish
The result is a dramatically flatter floor than hand screeding can achieve — consistent across the entire slab regardless of size.
The Advantages of Laser Screed Technology
Superior Floor Flatness
Achieves dramatically higher FF (flatness) and FL (levelness) ratings than conventional screeding — exceeding ASTM E1155 standards for demanding applications.
Faster Pour Speeds
Laser screed equipment covers large floor areas significantly faster than hand screeding, reducing pour time and labor costs on big commercial projects.
Consistent Quality
Every square foot of the floor meets the same precision standard. No high spots, no low spots — just a perfectly uniform surface from edge to edge.
Ideal for Large Areas
The larger the floor, the greater the advantage over hand screeding. Laser screed excels on warehouse floors, distribution centers, and industrial slabs.
Forklift Friendly
Flat floors reduce forklift wear and maintenance, improve stability, and allow faster travel speeds — directly impacting your facility's efficiency and safety.
Lower Long-Term Costs
A flatter floor lasts longer, requires less joint maintenance, and reduces equipment wear. The upfront investment in laser screed pays dividends for decades.
Laser Screed Applications
JMP Construction deploys laser screed technology on commercial and industrial projects across South Carolina where floor flatness is critical.
Laser Screed Performance Specs
Achievable flatness rating far exceeding typical hand-screeded floors (FF 25–35).
Superior levelness ratings critical for defined traffic floor (DTF) applications.
Laser screed maintains elevation within ⅛ inch across the entire slab area.
Covers large floor areas up to 3x faster than conventional hand screeding methods.
Why Laser Screed Wins Every Time
| Feature | JMP Laser Screed | Traditional Hand Screed |
|---|---|---|
