CUPOLEX technology, as well as CUPOLEX RIALTO, offers quick and economical solutions for poor soil condition and expansive soil or expansion due to frost and tough climate conditions, creating a raised floor or substituting expensive filling material. Over the past 3 decades, the idea of placing concrete over CUPOLEX® permanent void forms has become an increasingly popular foundation method, not only for site conditions involving challenging soils, but replacing conventional slabs that are not very well known to provide healthy interior environments.
Both slab on grade and ribbed structural slabs on grade can be created using CUPOLEX®. There are significant cost savings to the builder and owner by using the CUPOLEX® flooring formwork in the design of concrete slabs for residential, industrial, commercial and institutional applications in sites with structural site challenges and contaminated and low bearing soil conditions.
