The Benefits of IdealSlab™

  • IdealSlab™ is a fully developed and certified slab system that has been in service for many years,
    supporting thousands of homes.
  • Designed to provide a fail-safe solution to the problems encountered with differential
    movement of the slab/structure caused by near surface soils that are affected by either soil,
    swell, shrinkage or by fill settlement.
  • A fully suspended system that is built on the ground without the requirements for footings
    excavation. The slab and the structure are fully supported on a grid of IdealPier driven
    deep into firm ground.
  • On sites affected by soil shrinkage or fill settlement - the grid of IdealPier provide the
    required uniform support to the slab that will prevent the structure from settling differentially.
  • IdealSlab™ has been designed to support the house or structure without failure irrespective
    of underlying reactive clay soil movement or fill settlement.

No More Cost Blow-Outs

  • The IdealSlab™ structural design remains constant, irrespective of soil type and foundation
    soils. This means that the material elements for construction, consisting of reinforcing
    steel, concrete and under-slab fill can be broken down on a $ rate per M2 and used for each
    IdealSlab™ on all sites.
  • The only variable cost is the screw pier length - for example, IdealPier lengths may vary between the
    cut and fill side of the site.
  • The variable cost is eliminated with the use of the IdealSlab™ method. This allows for the
    differing length IdealPier component to be priced on a $ rate per M² basis for both
    single and double storey houses. This method is suitable for all soil types.
  • The client and builder will know this cost at the site investigation stage ensuring that there
    are no suprises for anyone at the construction stage.
  • All estimated costs for an IdealSlab™ are the construction costs every time.
