UNIDOME TECHNOLOGY
The Unidome technology comprises a construction type, a design concept and the corresponding building products for the implementation of the unidome construction method. This type of construction is a material-efficient, sustainable lightweight construction that specifically creates cavities in the concrete structure. This saves concrete where it only performs a minor load-bearing function — a proven method for displacing and saving concrete.
‍
The Unidome assessment concept is a methodology developed over decades for the reliable and standard-compliant calculation of the resulting cavity structures. By using the factor method, the design can be carried out on the basis of conventional, internationally recognized principles in reinforced concrete construction — particularly suitable for biaxial void former slabs, flat slabs and other sophisticated slab systems.

The Unidome building products are specially developed and comprehensively tested concrete shapers that are used to produce safe, economical and resource-saving concrete structures. The void former elemens used, consisting of recycled plastic void formers, enable significant concrete savings and actively contribute to CO2 reduction and climate protection.

Unidome is an is an internationally operating brand with globally recognized patents and approvals — a reliable partner for sustainable constructionwith innovative concrete former technology.
The unidome effects
Any floor plans due to biaxial load capacity — large spans — thinner slabs — less columns — no annoying beams — slim and safe building structures — reduction of dead load — increased earthquake resistance — reduced deformations — optimized foundations and building foundation — high material efficiency — acceleration of construction process — possible combination with concrete core activation — possible combination with posttension — reduction of concrete and reinforcing steel — reduction of CO2 emissions — Reducing construction costs.

research and development
research and development is a top priority at Unidome. Close cooperation with internationally recognized research institutes, strategic partners and local authorities enables us to provide tested, secured and quality-approved concrete components and construction technologies for global application.

Our visionaries have a wide range of knowledge of the sustainable void former technology – in particular the development of void former elemens, void former modules and plastic void formers for the use in biaxial void former slabs and modern lightweight structures.

Dr. Karsten Pfeffer, founder of Unidome, is a central driver of our innovations. He has been researching void former technology for over 25 years and has played a significant role in developing it and bringing it to today's maturity. His expertise forms the basis for our continuous development — in line with the motto: “never stop — - constantly improve and develop. ”

This long-standing experience is continuously incorporated into new solutions for saving concrete, saving cement, reducing CO2 and material efficiency. In this way, we not only create high-performance products, but also make an active contribution to climate protection and sustainable construction worldwide. TO THE VIDEO
Planning and dimensioning
The design concept for biaxial voided slabs developed by Dr. Pfeffer, which is based on the results of research carried out specifically on this topic, is now part of the internationally recognized state of the art. The derived parameters for the measurement of the voided slab are easy to handle, so that the design can be carried out by any structural engineer analogous to the design of a fully solid flat slab. Design concept for biaxial voided slabs, which is based on research carried out specifically on this topic, is now part of the internationally recognized as the state of the art in the field of void former technology. The parameters derived from this for the measurement of the voidedslab are practical and easy to use.

By applying this concept, voided slabs can be measured by any structural planner analogous to the design of a fully solid flat slab — with the advantage of significant concrete savings, increased material efficiency and a significant contribution to CO2 reduction. The method developed by Unidome thus makes a decisive contribution to sustainable construction — technically sound, standard-compliant and future-oriented. TO THE PLANNING TOOLS

Construction on the construction site
The construction site can be carried out by any construction company, whether small or large. The simple assembly and installation of the Unidome elements is based on an individually prepared Unidome installation plan, which is developed in consultation with the planners involved in the construction. Our highly motivated Unidome team is happy to help you with your detailed questions. TO THE VIDEOS
