FOR THE ARCHITECTS:
COMPLETE ARCHITECTURAL FREEDOM
The biaxial precast slab system offers unparalleled flexibility in architectural design, allowing for a wide range of shapes, large cantilevers, and larger spans or deck areas with fewer supporting points. With no beams, fewer columns, and carrying walls, buildings can be easily modified and adapted to changing needs. This system also allows for easy interior design changes throughout the building's lifetime.
FREE CHOICE OF SHAPE
The slab can follow any shape. Combined with large spans and cantilevers, this optimises architects' design freedom, pushing further boundaries. The flexibility also enhances future changes. The slab's biaxial behaviour allows for changes such as adding additional staircases. The flexibility also enhances future changes.
LIGHT & BEAMLESS
The hollow spheres incorporated in the slab reduce the deadweight by up to 35% compared to a solid slab with the same bearing capacity. This weight reduction allows for further reductions in the building structure, through the reduction in the no of columns and bearing walls. The reduction in deadweight results in savings in the foundation.
​​
Due to its biaxiality, no down stand beams are needed. The result is a completely flat soffit. A slim structure is obtained, resulting in an overall reduced building height.

LONG CANTILEVERS
Length of cantilevers of approximately 10 times the deck thickness gives the architecta tool for optimising both light and interior design.
LIMITLESS DESIGN POSSIBILITIES
The flat soffit with no obstructing beams, combined with a reduced number of columns and or bearing walls, creates an open and flexible space, with maximum usability.
