Project size

100 m²

Geopod required up to 96% fewer units than competitor waffle foundation modules, streamlining logistics for a residential building in Queensland, Australia. The project was completed together with our Australian partner FormDirect.

Construction involved a single-story family home on expansive clay soil. Our local team proposed Geopod - a permanent formwork made from recycled plastic, designed for constructing lightened waffle foundations.

Thanks to Geopod’s large 109 × 109 × 30 cm pods, only 70 modules were needed for the 100 m² building. This cut the number of components by up to 96% compared to competitor waffle foundations and also enabled:

Streamlined logistics and storage through its modular, stackable design,
Reduced labor time thanks to quick and easy manual assembly,
Uniform load distribution, ensuring structural stability,
Minimized waste, using 100 % recycled and recyclable plastic materials.
