Low-Cost Compatible Nichias Raised Access Floor Pedestals | High Performance & Innovative Solutions
In modern office buildings, data centers, and various high-end facilities, raised access floor systems have become indispensable infrastructure due to their flexibility for wiring, ease of maintenance, and improved space utilization. Among these, the Nichias Raised Access Floor (NICHIAS OMEGA FLOOR™) stands out as a flagship product in both the Japanese and Southeast Asian markets, winning favor in numerous large-scale projects thanks to its outstanding durability and walking comfort.
Amid the growing demand for raised access floor systems in Southeast Asian countries, a Chinese import/export company has keenly observed the tremendous potential and market demand for high cost-performance compatible pedestal systems. Currently, many project owners face high cost pressures when upgrading or installing new floor systems, especially in countries with low seismic risk, where the premium paid for original high-seismic Nichias Raised Floor pedestals provides little practical value and becomes a heavy budget burden.
This Chinese import/export company firmly believes that by providing innovative pedestal solutions that are structurally reliable, economically practical, and highly compatible with mainstream panels based on local requirements, they can not only help project owners significantly reduce costs but also drive healthy growth in the regional market. Solving the cost pain points of project owners is key to achieving a win-win market landscape for both suppliers and clients, opening up broader possibilities for cooperation and growth in the raised access floor industry.
NICHIAS OMEGA FLOOR™ - High-Strength, Durable Professional Nichias Raised Floor Pedestal
NICHIAS OMEGA FLOOR™ is a concrete-based (FRC) raised access floor system launched by Japan’s Nichias Corporation in 1990. This product uses concrete panels reinforced with steel bars and metal mesh, greatly enhancing the strength and durability of the panels. It is designed for high-spec applications such as office buildings, warehouses, and non-residential structures.
Key features of OMEGA FLOOR™ and the Nichias OA Floor pedestal include:
High-Strength Reinforced Concrete Panel: The proprietary rebar structure and metal mesh reinforcement provide a concentrated load capacity of 3,000N (M300A) to 5,000N (HG), far exceeding standard raised access floor panels.
Comfortable, Quiet Experience: The unique two-stage rubber gasket lock mechanism effectively absorbs noise from walking and equipment operation, enhancing the comfort of the environment.
Extensive Applications and Excellent Reputation: Since its launch, it has been widely used in large office and commercial projects not only in Japan, but also in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and more, making it a core business of Nichias Corporation.
High Flexibility: The Nichias OA Floor pedestal accommodates pedestal heights from 60mm to 1000mm, meeting diverse spatial needs.
Cost Challenges of High-Seismic Nichias OA Floor Pedestal Design and Actual Customer Needs
As the industry’s highest-standard raised access floor system, the original NICHIAS OMEGA FLOOR™ Nichias OA Floor pedestal employs an extremely high seismic design, primarily targeting Japan and areas with frequent earthquakes or high safety requirements. While this design is robust and seismically superior, in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, where seismic risk is low, such a high seismic specification often leads to significant cost waste.
Discussions with general contractors, design institutes, and real estate developers across Southeast Asia reveal that customers’ core demands for raised access floor systems focus on:
Safety and reliability, ample load-bearing: Able to support daily office use, equipment operation, and personnel movement over the long term
Strict project budget control: Avoiding investment waste caused by over-design
Compatibility with mainstream panels, adaptable to various heights and layouts: Allowing for future modifications and expansions
Easy installation and maintenance: Reducing labor and management costs
Market feedback shows that more and more project owners and end users are paying closer attention to rational safety redundancy and maximizing budget efficiency, alongside the performance of the raised access floor system. Achieving cost reduction and efficiency in pedestal systems—without sacrificing load capacity or lifespan—has become an urgent need in Southeast Asia and similar markets.
Innovative Solutions for Low-Cost Compatible Nichias OA Floor Pedestals
The Chinese import/export company, based on in-depth analysis and research of the original NICHIAS pedestal system, actively responds to the practical needs of the Southeast Asian market. The engineering team, leveraging international mainstream pedestal technologies, systematically analyzes and optimizes the structure, materials, and manufacturing processes of the Nichias OA Floor pedestal, and, while respecting and protecting Nichias Corporation’s intellectual property, pursues independent innovation and improvement.
Targeted Design, Economic Practicality
Through a thorough analysis of the original NICHIAS OMEGA FLOOR™ patented structure (Nichias OA Floor pedestal), and without infringing on intellectual property rights, the company developed an economically practical compatible pedestal based on international standards. This approach focuses precisely on the needs of low-seismic environments in Southeast Asia, removing unnecessary seismic features and emphasizing structural strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Material optimization and structural simplification have greatly reduced manufacturing and procurement costs.
Structural Optimization: Removing Redundancy, Retaining Core Functions
The greatest highlight of the original NICHIAS OA Floor pedestal is its seismic resistance, with high lateral rigidity and connection strength. The improved compatible pedestals are adapted to the low seismic intensity environment of Southeast Asia, selectively simplifying certain seismic design elements (such as reducing lateral reinforcements and excessive thickness), significantly lowering material and manufacturing costs without compromising daily load-bearing and safety redundancy. Finite element simulations and sample testing ensure every compatible pedestal meets or exceeds the load and stability standards required for office buildings and data centers.
Key Pedestal Components: Silent Rubber Pad, Locking Mechanism, Overall View
Materials and Craftsmanship: Balancing Strength and Cost-Performance
The company uses high-strength galvanized steel as the main material for the pedestal, balancing load capacity, corrosion resistance, and cost. The top of the pedestal applies engineering plastic with a silent rubber pad, effectively absorbing minor vibrations and friction noise between the floor and pedestal, improving comfort. The base has a precision thread design for easy height adjustment on various building floor conditions, ensuring level and stable floor installation.

Compatibility and Flexibility
This series of pedestals is custom-designed for 500×500mm concrete panels (the standard NICHIAS OMEGA FLOOR™ specification) and ensures seamless integration with existing floors. Pedestal heights range from 60mm to 1000mm, meeting the needs for space height and wiring capacity in server rooms, offices, and commercial areas. Modular design allows for rapid positioning, assembly, and leveling on site, greatly shortening construction time and improving site management efficiency.
