What are Waffle Pods?

Waffle Pods form part of an innovative slab on ground system utilised during the construction of concrete slabs for new residential homes, commercial buildings or extensions to existing buildings. The whole slab system is constructed on top of the ground.


Waffle Pods give schedulers and builders the ability to more accurately predict required concrete quantities reducing waste, costs and time on site. 


Builders and concreters can cut the block flat and then place the waffle pod system directly on top of the ground. This helps reduce the disturbance of the soil and you also no longer need to worry about the disposal of excavated matter from trenches.


The Institution of Engineers Australia awarded the Waffle Pod System with an Engineering Excellence Award. 


In Australia, Waffle pod slabs are designed to comply with AS 2870.1-1998, AS 2870.2-1990. Concrete Structures Code AS 3600-1988 – The Australian Standard for Residential Slabs and Footings. The current version of this standard is AS2870-2011.
