pod floor
The meridian pod floor is a polystyrene pod floor with one hundred millimetre ribs throughout (a rib raft style floor) this floor is a stronger floor that suits sites with low ground compression strength.
TC2 floor
Note: We also have a design for TC2,
This design is suitable for areas that have been deemed susceptible to liquid faction in the unlikely event of an earth quake.
Due to fact that our design has no fibers it can be used where polished concrete is a preferred choice of flooring.
Due to the polystyrene pods they also have a better insulation value. They have more steel and concrete than any other floor.
lazer boxed floor
all our polystyrene pods are recycled
The lazer boxed floor is a single pour floor with an edge thickened beam, the floor is infilled with compacted hard fill and is a more cost effective solution to the Meridian pod floor. Though it is cost effective, it still offers superior strength. This type of floor is our most popular flooring system.

FAQ
What is READY Super Slab QPOD?
READY Super Slab QPOD is an evolution of the READY Super Slab raft foundation system using eco-friendly recycled pods in place of traditional polystyrene, available exclusively from Allied Concrete.
Can I switch out my existing READY Super Slab floor to using Super Slab QPOD?
Yes, QPOD is a direct replacement for 1100mm x 1100mm x 220mm traditional polystyrene pods and can easily be substituted without the need for an engineered design when building on good ground as per NZS3604.
Refer to the READY Super Slab Technical Manual available at in the Technical Resources section.
How does Super Slab QPOD compare in cost to using the current READY Super Slab system?
When building on good ground READY Super Slab QPOD may be slightly more expensive than using traditional polystyrene pods, however costs can be offset with the reduction in environmental footprint, transportation and storage costs combined with speed of installation.
