Product Summary
SureVoid's products provide a temporary support platform for concrete placement until the grade beam or structural slab set and can support itself across drilled piers, pads, intermittent footings, or other concrete work. The SureVoid® material, lying under structural concrete construction, gradually absorbs ground moisture and loses its strength after the concrete has set, creating a space into which soil can expand without causing damage.
Construction and Materials
The SureVoid Degradable Void System by SureVoid Products is designed to create temporary voids within concrete structures. This system utilizes innovative materials to provide a controllable and environmentally conscious solution for void creation.
Construction and Materials
The core of the SureVoid system consists of inflatable bladders. These bladders are constructed from a robust and durable material that is capable of withstanding the pressures associated with concrete pouring and curing.
- Material Composition: The exact material composition is proprietary, but it is engineered for high tensile strength and tear resistance to maintain its integrity during the concrete placement process.
- Inflatable Design: The bladders are designed to be inflated with water or air. Once inflated to the desired size and shape, they create the void space within the concrete.
- Degradable Nature: A key feature of the SureVoid system is its degradable nature. After the concrete has cured and the void is no longer needed, the bladders are designed to break down over time. This eliminates the need for manual removal, simplifying the construction process and reducing labor costs.
- Degradation Process: The degradation process is initiated by exposure to moisture. As the concrete structure is exposed to ambient moisture, the material of the bladder gradually dissolves or breaks down into harmless byproducts.
- Multiple Shapes and Sizes: The SureVoid system is available in various pre-defined shapes and sizes, allowing for flexibility in design and application. These pre-formed bladders simplify the setup on site.
Functionality
The SureVoid Degradable Void System functions by being placed within the formwork of a concrete pour before the concrete is introduced. Once the concrete is poured and begins to set, the bladders are inflated to the specified volume, thereby displacing concrete and creating the desired void. After the concrete has achieved sufficient strength, the bladders are deflated and subsequently degrade, leaving the void space intact.
Features and Benefits
SureVoid Degradable Void System
The SureVoid Degradable Void System from SureVoid Products is an innovative solution designed to create controlled voids within concrete structures. This system utilizes a unique, degradable material that forms the void during the concrete pour and then naturally breaks down over time, leaving behind a clean void space. This eliminates the need for traditional methods of creating voids, such as using polystyrene or wood, which require manual removal.
Features:
- Degradable Material: The core of the SureVoid system is its proprietary degradable material.
- Pre-formed Void Shapes: Available in various standard and custom shapes and sizes to accommodate diverse project requirements.
- Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward placement within formwork before concrete pouring.
- Controlled Degradation: The material breaks down at a predictable rate after the concrete has cured.
- Durable Construction: Withstands the pressures and stresses of concrete pouring and curing.
Benefits:
- Eliminates Void Removal: Saves significant labor and time by removing the need to physically extract void-forming materials after the pour.
- Reduced Waste: The degradable nature of the product means no waste material needs to be disposed of from the job site.
- Improved Efficiency: Streamlines the concrete construction process, leading to faster project completion.
- Enhanced Concrete Integrity: Creates precise and consistent void spaces without compromising the surrounding concrete structure.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of concrete applications, including bridge decks, precast elements, and architectural features.
- Environmentally Conscious: The degradable composition aligns with sustainable building practices.
Core Advantages:
The primary advantage of the SureVoid Degradable Void System lies in its ability to autonomously disappear, leaving behind precisely formed void spaces without any residual material. This unique characteristic directly translates into substantial cost savings through drastically reduced labor requirements for void removal. Furthermore, the system's degradable nature significantly minimizes on-site waste, contributing to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly construction process. The ease of integration into existing formwork procedures further enhances its appeal, making it a practical and efficient choice for modern concrete construction projects.
