Biaxusa

Since 2013, we have provided developers, contractors, and engineers with a foundation-forming system designed specifically for building on expansive, compressible, liquefiable, or rocky soils. Our ‘pods’ - void forms set directly on the grade that when connected together, reinforced with either rebar or P/T cables, and concrete placed on top form a ‘Biax Slab’ - come in several heights for different soil conditions. Performance Biax pods act as a ‘relief valve’ for soils to move, with the only contact area for the slab and pad being the ribs between the pods. And, less contact area means less pressure on the slab when soils move, enabling a Biax slab to deliver superior performance when compared to in-ground ribbed and/or slabs with deepened footings, as well as uniform thickness slabs. Constructibility Our system enables the outright elimination or significant reduction in things like import, export, overex, recompaction and trenching/digging. And when you don’t have to dig in the dirt, things get easier right out of the chute. In addition, the pods can be quickly connected, with reinforcing steel placed with incredible efficiency. A Biax slab is – arguably – the easiest to install vs. any comparable alternative. Hard dollar cost savings Up to 85% less over-ex and recompaction. No trenching or off haul. Less concrete and steel reinforcing. Reductions in building cycletime and accompanying labor costs. And, with an unparalleled track record, decreases in future warranty reserves. A Biax foundation will not only deliver superior performance, it will do it for less cost vs. any comparable alternative. Fault Tolerance When engineers design a Biax slab, they do not utilize the inherent benefits of the void area in the pods because current engineering software does not have fields for inputting those factors. A Biax slab has an additional level of built-in strength that's not accounted for, leading to an uptick in fault tolerance.
