The large Geopod module measures 109 x 109 x h30 cm, creating 120 cm spaced ribs that are fully compliant with the Australian Residential Slabs & Footings standard AS 2870-2011. The range also includes Geopod-Midi (1/4 of the main pod) and Geopod-Mini (1/8 of the main pod) for horizontal compensations and adaptability to any worksite.
Geopod is also equipped with spacers that enable a sequential pod setup and fast and easy manual installation.Geopod’s stackable modules cover a 95 m2 slab surface with a single h180 cm pallet, allowing for reduced and uncomplicated logistics.
GEOPOD - ENGINEERED TO AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS
The AS 2870-2011 standard specifies the structural design and construction requirements for concrete slabs and footings of residential houses built on expansive clay soil, commonly found in Australia.
Made from large 109 x 109 x h30 cm modules. Geopod is engineered to create concrete ribs spaced at 120 cm, adhering to the maximum size allowed by AS 2870-2011 for waffle slabs on the ground.
In addition to complying with AS 2870-2011, Geopod offers several other improvements for the sustainable profitability of construction projects compared to EPS and smaller pod systems. Its range also includes Geopod-Mini, Midi and specifically designed spacers, which, together with the large, stackable recycled plastic modules, enable:
- Reduced use of concrete,
- Improved logistics,
- Adaptability to any worksite,
- Fast and easy installation,
- Increased sustainability.

GEOPOD LESS EXPENSIVE & EASIER TO TRANSPORT THAN STYRO PODS
Geopod pods stack inside each other making them much less expensive and easier to transport then traditional styrofoam waffle pod systems. Most pods are transported by truck in Australia to cities, regional and remote locations, adding significantly to your end costs as a builder. With up to 5 times more plastic pods on a truck than traditional styrofoam waffle pods, there are significant cost savings for builders closing to buy and install Geopods throughout Australia
