Description
Quality Assurance
Waffle Pods are designed to comply with the Australian Quality Standard AS 2870-2011 for Residential Slabs and Footings. This compliance guarantees that our Waffle Pods meet the highest standards of reliability and performance in various construction applications.
Applications
Waffle Pods are used to construct concrete slabs in residential and commercial projects. They provide numerous benefits, including more accurate prediction of required concrete quantities, reduction of waste, and increased construction efficiency. By using Waffle Pods, there is minimal disturbance of soil, and the disposal of excavated matter from trenches is eliminated. The lightweight yet strong construction of Waffle Pods allows them to handle the weight of multiple building workers and wet concrete during site preparation and pouring.
Innovative Solutions
Waffle Pods are installed on-ground instead of in-ground, reducing the need for intensive labor trenching. This method ensures that wet weather is not an issue, as installation occurs on cleared, level surfaces. Each Waffle Pod slab offers significant strength and durability while also reducing construction costs. Meshcrete’s partnerships and sourcing capabilities ensure that the Waffle Pods we supply provide the best solution for efficient and cost-effective slab construction.
