Concreters return!




The rain finally eases and preparations for slab pouring gets underway. A few interruptions with the on going rain, but it is finally happening.


The waffle pods are delivered and set out.

The pods reduce the time and labour needed in setting up a concrete slab. The moulded void formers are arranged on the building area in a grid pattern and reinforcing bar is laid in the voids. Reinforcing mesh is then place on top of the waffle pods.

This system uses less concrete than the conventional methods. The polystyrene voids function as insulation pockets, significantly reducing heat loss through the floor

  1. It’s really amazing idea, as how to tackle with the problem of rain, while concreting something. I really admire your blog. By your blog, I got so many, important information about the Concrete.
