LIGHTWEIGHT INFILL SOLUTIONS MODULO NEW ELEVETOR SKYNET BIOMODULO MATRIX DEFENDER COST-EFFECTIVE TIME SAVING SUSTAINABLE

Since its founding in the early 1970s, Geoplast has been designing and manufacturing innovative recycled plastic products. We create sustainable solutions with high added value and offering excellent performances, in compliance with construction industry standards. Over the years we have improved our expertise in the strategic sectors in which we operate, such as construction, stormwater management, urban green areas and landscaping, always making us a reliable and efficient partner. Geoplast products are present all over the world thanks to a widespread network of distributors, also...

We at Geoplast firmly believe that the environment and industry can coexist and support each other. This has been our main motivation since the founding of the of the company. All our products are made with recycled plastic coming from post-consumer and industrial waste: in this way the plastic waste is transformed into a valuable resource for new solutions. SERVICES & CONSULTING The requirements of clients, designers and companies are supported by the technical expertise of a dedicated team of skilled specialists. The services provided by Geoplast range from assistance on site, technical...

Formwork for lightweight void fill and crawl spaces. Formwork for lightweight void fill and crawl spaces. Formwork for lightweight void fill and landscaping projects. Formwork for lightweight void fill in compliance with building codes. Formwork for air diffusion in composting plants and biofilters. Concrete floating floors with MEP installations. Modular panel for retaining wall protection.

FOUNDATION Sustainability and respect for the environment, living comfort for people and profitability for operators in the sector: all our solutions, including those dedicated to Foundations, are designed to combine these three objectives, which can and must be met. which significantly limit the use of expensive and polluting materials, such as steel and concrete, limiting handling and transport to the construction site and significantly reducing construction time. Thanks to our technology, we are able to transform plastic waste into construction systems with a low environmental impact,

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY The use of Geoplast formworks is extraordinarily flexible, covering a very wide range of applications. In each case it replaces less performing or more expensive conventional construction techniques. There are numerous situations where design conditions limit the permissible weight of the infill material. With Geoplast formwork, the designer can calculate the weight of the void-fill with great accuracy. At the same time, the designer has great flexibility in using the empty space under the raised floor created by the formwork. ADVANTAGE: a void fill made with Geoplast...

THE VENTILATED CRAWL SPACE A crawl space created with the Modulo sacrificial formwork, when properly ventilated, eliminates rising damp and radon gas. Thanks to its special shape, Modulo produces a reinforced concrete structure consisting of a raised floor and a series of columns placed at regular intervals, able of distributing loads over the entire surface and thus offering excellent static and dynamic load-bearing capacity. HOW DOES THE VENTILATION WORK Modulo makes good use of the “chimney effect” principle. This is achieved by placing ventilation openings on the cooler side of the...

STRUCTURAL VOID FILL The wide range of products and sizes share the same characteristic: they create at the same time an efficient reinforced concrete structure and an empty volume, open in all directions, suitable for any purpose. This particular setup creates a structural void that offers great resistance to applied loads combined with low weight and an efficient use of building materials. In designing a new product we never lose sight of the needs of the environment: for this reason we have developed technologies able to transform plastic waste that spoil our planet into high performance...

HIGH LOAD CAPACITY STACKABLE QUICK INSTALLATION FORMWORK FOR VENTILATED CRAWL SPACES AND VOID FILL

Modulo and Multimodulo are sacrificial formworks made of Graplene (100% recycled polypropylene compound). pouring of beams and slab in one shot MODULO The reinforced concrete slab created by casting over Modulo is much slimmer than a conventional suspended slab and will rest on a matrix of short columns (or “legs” of the system). The formwork will only have to support the weight of the wet concrete. Once dry, the arched structure created will be self-supporting. The empty space created underneath the suspended floor can be used for many purposes: MEP installation, ventilation to reduce...

Geoblock is an adjustable extension that acts as the inner side of the ground beam formwork and allows for the creation of the slab, fill and surrounding beam or curb in a single pour. • STRUCTURAL CONTINUITY: single-pour operation of the crawl space and foundation beams. • NO CUTS: compensation with Geoblock eliminates the need to cut Modulo elements. • CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFETY: the whole Modulo formwork surface can be safely stepped on, as all elements are whole and connected to each other. • SIMPLER GROUND BEAM FORMWORK: Geoblock acts as an internal formwork for the ground beams. •...
