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 formworks...

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 crawl...

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 construction...

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 rising...

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. • COMPENSATION...
