Ow! I thought my steel tiles were heavy (they are ;-)
Is this a California Earthquake thing, or did someone just want a
solid, solid floor?

We have a datacenter in the chicago area built in the last couple of
years, with concrete filled tiles. We have one built in the late
80's with steel tiles, we have one originally built in the 60's, with
floor redone in the mid 80's, with wood-core tiles...all on the same
college campus.

I wonder if it has something to do with the amount of weight that
rolls across a computer room floor these days. We've several of the
steel ones that are bowed, in a CR that's only about 6.5 years old.
Though I would think Cement tiles would simply crack.

I can verify that it takes quite a lot to crack a cement-filled floor tile.

I live in Bakersfield and I know where this place is. If anyone wants me
to do some local footwork, I'm at your service.

Thanks. I've already contacted them and am making arrangements for the
tiles. One of the issues is that each tile weighs about 40#! So total
weight is going to be interesting!
