Crawl Space Construction

Most single or two-story houses are elevated 40 to 50 cm above natural ground level. This construction tradition offers numerous benefits, including flood prevention, protection against radon gas and vapor intrusion, humidity control, and the provision of passages for MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) installations. The elevation is typically achieved using brick or concrete pillars connected by wooden beams. ABS Void Formworks provide a much more rigid and durable method of creating a crawl space while offering all the same benefits. The ABS plastic void formworks can be installed according to the house’s layout and later filled and covered with concrete, creating a reinforced concrete raised floor with exceptionally high load-bearing capacity and excellent resistance to decay.
