We offer a wide range of innovations<\/a> for ground-floor structural elements, e.g. foundations, basement walls, ramps, or slabs, that simultaneously fulfill different tasks: minimize the use of concrete, create lightweight structural fillings, produce ventilated layers that keep the structure dry, and form crawl spaces for MEP infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

Our slab<\/a> innovations allow a simple installation of large-span monodirectional, bidirectional, or flat concrete slabs. They are designed to reduce the use of concrete in slabs, which reduces the load on bearing structural elements, progressively improving the seismic resilience, sustainability, and profitability of the entire building.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

Geoplast green innovations<\/a> utilize recycled plastic grids for creating green walkways, green parking lots, green walls, and green roofs. By creating a layer of soil and grass on walls and roofs, they improve insulation, making buildings more energy-efficient. They also improve the permeability of city areas, increasing flood resilience and reducing urban heat islands.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n
