Skynet is a disposable formwork system made of recycled plastic for structural concrete fills and height compensations, designed to replace unstable fill materials (compacted soil, gravel) with engineered ribbed slabs supported by structural pillars.
The system is compliant with Eurocode (EC2), NTC2018 and ACI213 for design and execution of ribbed slabs and pillars.
Key components
Base grid forming the modular layout
Vertical casting pipes for structural pillars: Ø250 mm or Ø300 mm
Top-support pipes: Ø125 mm (left empty during casting to direct concrete to pillars and slab)
Benefits
Reduces in-situ concrete volume by creating 25–35 cm lightened bidirectional slabs
Modular system enabling slab heights up to 3 m and variable pillar spacing
Intuitive and fast installation — reported site time savings exceeding 80%
High load-bearing capacity through ribbed-slab geometry and discrete pillars
Compatible with foundations and expansive soils via the Flex Base component
Supports sustainable construction by using recycled materials and optimizing concrete use
Applications / Solutions
Lightweight structural fill
Foundations for large buildings and industrial facilities
Modular access ramps and stairs
Shoring and mitigation on expansive soils
Filling of plinths and podiums
Plaza and amenity decks
Field of application
Over existing or new foundations to create raised ribbed slabs
Over expansive (swelling) soils where ground movement must be decoupled from the bearing structure
Flex Base
Flex Base supports vertical pipes during casting and provides controlled release for the pipes under soil thrust, allowing ground expansion without transferring excessive loads to the bearing structure.
Technical specifications
Material: recycled plastic (disposable formwork)
System composition: base grid, Ø250/Ø300 mm pillar pipes, Ø125 mm top-support pipes
Typical slab thickness (lightened, bidirectional): 25–35 cm
Modularity: slab heights up to 3 m; adjustable pillar spacing per project
Installation: suitable for foundations and expansive soils; intuitive on-site assembly
Performance: reduces concrete use by directing casting to pillars and slab only
