HISTORY

MOST ADVANCED AND EFFICIENT SOLUTION

Today, Unidome offers the most advanced and efficient solution when it comes to creating lightweight, material-friendly and sustainable reinforced concrete slabs. Similar to the basic development of reinforced concrete construction, the development of multi-axial voided slabs also involves several development steps. Nowadays, this construction method is internationally accepted.

In the following, we have summarized the cornerstones of the development of the biaxial voided slab, limited to the main points.

BEGINNING OF THE SEVENTIES

Already the beginning of seventies The first approaches for concrete slabs with integrated, spherical displacers have been developed. However, these initial approximations did not yet result in profound technical understanding, which is why no significant successes were apparent at the time. Based on the findings of Dr. Karsten Pfeffer , who had investigated the exact load-bearing behavior of biaxial reinforced concrete slabs with integrated void formers as part of his dissertation, was able to carry out the first significant projects using this technology after the turn of the millennium.

MORE SOPHISTICATED PRODUCTS

In 2005, an essential foundation stone was established for the now widely used technology of the biaxial void former. This development is largely due to the early work of Dr. Karsten Pfeffer back. With the other product lines of a well-known brand invented by Dr. Karsten Pfeffer and developed under his significant supervision (see also curriculum vitae of Dr. Karsten Pfeffer), the internationalization of this construction technology was gradually promoted. At that time, the technology had already received several environmental and innovation awards. To date, approximately 20 million square meters This still innovative type of construction was realized, sometimes as part of impressive international buildings.

TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

With the experiences of the last twenty years and the unwavering urge to continue the history of the concrete shapers, UNIDOME was launched in 2019. With the help of the newly released UNIDOME XS and UNIDOME XL product lines, this design is being taken to a new level. Easy. Brilliant.
