Floor Void Former

Dufaylite has developed a unique clayboard void former system which is eco friendly since biodegradable and strong enough to withstand the load of.

Floor void former.

Construction and ground works eps expanded polystyrene is commonly used as a lightweight material for forming voids openings within concrete structures. Polystyrene is a closed cell light weight rigid cellular plastics material. Kore eps can be used as both void formers and void fillers. The void s purpose is to absorb clay movement and thus prevent the increased pressure added to the building foundation and on the concrete slab floor which is caused by clay expansion and shrinkage.

The use of various grades of eps void formers reduces the weight of the structure when left in position or alternatively can be used for temporary applications or part of a permanent structure. Home market sectors void formers. Void fillers are designed to fill a void with expanded polystyrene and are left in situ. Concrete void forming systems.

Void former is a lightweight material in structural concrete in foundations beam and slabs to fill structurally non working areas and against clay heave. Filavoid has an expanded paper honeycomb core with face sheets top bottom. Proven performance on road rail and bridge embankments. Bildavoid s patented supavoid is unlike any other void former on the market.

Used as sheet pile infill panels and secant guide wall and for all void former applications. Void formers decrease the volume of concrete reducing weight while increasing the strength of concrete. Fillmaster lightweight fill and void former 1 compression performance reduces pressure on existing structures and poor soil. They come in either full form or in honeycombed form.

Kore void formers on site. Kore void formers have been used in a variety of civil engineering applications as well as in bridges shopping centre foundations and motorways including passages of the m50 in dublin and the foundation of the red luas line. The need to reduce dead weight in a variety of structures including precast flooring beams and motorway bridges can be achieved by using filcor expanded polystyrene to create a void in reinforced concrete construction. Filcor expanded polystyrene is commonly used as a lightweight material for forming openings and voids within concrete structures.

One of the larger projects our void formers were used on was the thames tideway project in.
