The Cupolex concrete forming system includes plastic, dome-shaped concrete void formers to create concrete slab-on-ground floors.
The Cupolex® concrete floor system, is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional polystyrene waffle-pods used in construction. The Cupolex system uses plastic dome-shaped concrete void formers to create a concrete slab-on-ground floor. These dome-shaped formers, referred to as “Cupolex Pods,” are placed on the ground, and concrete is poured over them to create a waffle raft slab.
The advantages of the Cupolex system include:
Environmental Benefits: The system is presented as an eco-friendly alternative, as it uses locally sourced recycled materials for the construction of the dome-shaped pods.
Structural Strength: The patented design of the Cupolex pods offers superior structural strength, providing stability to the overall concrete floor system.
Installation Ease: The interlocking design of the pods allows for easy and quick installation, potentially reducing construction time and labor costs.
Transport Efficiency: The stackable nature of the Cupolex pods makes transportation more efficient and helps save space during shipping and storage.
Supporting Components: In addition to the pods, the Cupolex system includes other components such as “Beton Stops” (used for positioning and spacing the pods), “Flat Stops” (used to create a level surface), “Reinforcing Chairs” (for placing and supporting reinforcement steel), and “Load Spreaders” (for distributing loads). These components are designed to work together for a comprehensive concrete floor system.
Engineering Approval: The system is designed to meet engineering standards and specifications. The type of concrete used and other details are typically specified by a Chartered Professional Engineer or a Reference Document.
The Cupolex system provides a sustainable and efficient solution for constructing concrete slab-on-ground floors, while offering structural integrity and ease of installation. It’s important to consult with professionals and follow proper guidelines when using any construction system to ensure safety and quality.
