Cupolex Benton Stop - 2D section

Cupolex Dome - Section 2D object

CUPOLEX® is a patented technology from Pontarolo Engineering spa for the construction of aerated floors, raised slabs, and lightweight fill replacement, it is a fast and economic system to cerate the sanitary void. One of the principal advantages of CUPOLEX® system is the healthiness of the building, due to the good air circulation, gas removal e.g. Radon gas, and humidity elimination. The igloo shaped elements, once placed and connected together are able to receive the concrete cast giving the slab a unique geometry with a matrix of small columns 56 cm distant ( 71 for domes heights above 55 cm), a hollowed space underneath and a slab thickness that can be designed to hold and load. The accessory element BETON STOP is used to close the lateral apertures, to prevent the concrete cast to enter the hollowed space, and can also be adjusted to fit any plant design with no need to cut the CUPOLEX® elements. The system also permits the monolithic cast of foundations and aerated slab.

CUPOLEX® RIALTO SMALL, patented technology of Pontarolo Engineering spa, is a system to create high raised floors, with non-standard heights or inclined slabs. Can be used alone or together with CUPOLEX® RIALTO technology in the same area, distances between the columns of 57 or 28,5 cm can be obtained. Is used to facilitate the installation or in the cases where a higher structural resistance is required. CUPOLEX® RIALTO permits to create a raised slab with heights between 50 and 250 cm. The system is made of domes, tubes and bases, it is easily and quickly assembled on site: creating a matrix of bases on the prepared plane surface; on top of the bases are placed the plastic tubes of diameter 12,5 cm and variable height depending on the project requirements; at last the domes, 28,5 x 57 cm, are installed on top of the tubes. When mutually connected, all these elements can receive the slab steel reinforcement and the concrete cast giving it a unique geometry with a hollowed space underneath the slab.

SPONDINA is an accessory element of the CUPOLEX® system of Pontarolo Engineering spa. SPONDINA acts as a lateral closing element of the aerated flooring system CUPOLEX, in order to prevent the concrete to enter the hollowed space of the system. SPONDINA can be used as an alternative of the patented accessory BETON STOP.
