Application
This is a ground heave protection solution is used beneath suspended structural concrete slabs to create a void which allows ground heave to occur without adversely affecting the integrity of the concrete.
It can also be ordered and configured to specific size requirements for use beneath reinforced concrete ground beams and pile caps. SURFACE PREPARATION The sub-base should be well compacted and flat with no excessive surface undulations. Lean mix concrete blinding trowelled to a smooth finish provides a perfect substrate.

Description
VOID-TEK is a collapsible void former which is used to protect concrete structures from the effects of ground heave, typically associated with clay soils. It is supplied in a thickness which is suited to accommodate the plasticity range as identified.
The product consists of folding polypropylene sections which are bonded together to produce a robust structure which can withstand a load implied by up to 900 mm thickness of concrete. Its unique structure means that it arrives on site just 31 mm thick and is deployed in seconds to produce the required Void former. When the product collapses due to the upward pressure caused by ground heave, the sheet will compress to a thickness of just 31 mm creating the required void.
