SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION
What is Geo-joist?
Geo-Joist is an engineered stay-in-place formwork, that provides an energy efficient, fast track and cost-effective building system.
The Geo-Joist system was developed for where there is a need to span large areas of unstable soil without adding excessive weight to the slab. Geo-Joist reduces the slab thickness and weight while increasing the strength due to cast-in-place joints.
It has also been used successfully for elevated boardwalks and docks and often helical piles are incorporated into the design to achieve a frost-protected foundation as shallow as 18” below grade. Each Geo-Joist project is designed by our team to meet your specific set of needs.
Frost - Protected Foundations
As shallow as 18" below grade, and reduced fill requirements.
Advantages of Geo-Joist
-
Due to cast-in-place joists, Geo-Joist significantly reduces slab thickness and weight while increasing the strength.
-
Geo-Joist creates a frost-protected structure eliminating the need for frost walls and saves a considerable amount in the cost of excavation and the hauling of spoils.
-
Geo-Joist is offered in a Variety of thicknesses, significantly reducing the need for structural fill.
-
Insulating EPS framework provides excellent energy performance and acts as a vapor barrier.
-
Heated floor systems work well with Geo-Joist thanks to its excellent insulation properties.
