StormVoid™ is a carton void form product that supports liquid concrete under beams, walls, and slabs. It is ideal for use in wet soil conditions during periods of inclement weather. The exterior cover is a moisture-resistant corrugated paper sheet that wraps around the entire supporting network, which is comprised of fluted, polypropylene plastic components.

StormVoid™ uniformly supports imposed concrete loads while creating a permanent void space under commercial or residential structures that are built on expansive soils. It can be confidently used to create the specified void space when unexpected weather would otherwise prevent the installation of traditional corrugated paper carton void forms.

WATERPROOF

A fantastic alternative to traditional corrugated paper void forms, StormVoid™ is designed to support liquid concrete construction when job site conditions are extremely wet. It is the perfect void form product to install on stable bases when concerned about heavy precipitation prior to concrete placement.

STRONG

The designed strength of the StormVoid™ is obtained by using various thicknesses and strengths of fluted plastic. This plastic material is made into components forming cellular configurations that uniformly support specific weights of liquid concrete and steel when placed on stable soil, even when submerged in standing water.

PEACE OF MIND

StormVoid™ eliminates the fear of having to replace large amounts of corrugated paper carton void forms that have been saturated by a sudden downpour. You can be confident that the product will perform as designed, and will not create project delays or additional expenses that can occur with void form replacement.

THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT

With six locations that manufacture a full line of StormVoid™ sizes and strengths, we can supply any urgent need. Facing unexpected weather that is threatening to delay your project schedule, you can make a last-minute decision to move forward with StormVoid™ without having to wait for weeks or even months to receive your waterproof void form. It can be shipped or delivered within a few days of ordering, directly to your yard or job location.

CONVENIENT

From start to finish, your experience ordering StormVoid™ could not be easier. In-house estimators will review your project plans and recommend the appropriate components to meet your needs. These products are then coordinated for pick-up, delivered directly to your job site or yard to be unloaded, or delivered in dry trailers for on-site storage.

TRUSTED

Although it’s a relatively new addition to our line of products, StormVoid™ has gone through several years of our rigorous design and testing protocols, just like our other well-established and popular corrugated paper void forms have. Multiple successful pours has quickly made StormVoid™ the favorite for many concrete contractors when inclement weather threatens.

PREMANUFACTURED SYSTEMS

Each important component of the StormVoid™ system arrives premanufactured, factory-glued and stapled. Easy to handle and position correctly, StormVoid can be installed immediately upon delivery. Unlike awkward metal systems that demand a great deal of labor for field-modification around piers and other areas, StormVoid does not require special metal-cutting tools, wood supports, or mandatory safety equipment to protect workers from jagged, sharp edges. The interior support network of StormVoid is uniform with vertically-supported pier cutouts already incorporated into the project design.

EASY-TO-INSTALL

StormVoid™ is lightweight, easy to handle and install. Crushed 3/8”-1/2” granular material for a supportive base course is best when 3.5”- 6” inches thick. This provides a means of stabilizing the subgrade when wet conditions are encountered. Standard five-foot-pieces are placed end-to-end in grade beam applications, as well as side-by-side under slabs. In the field, cross-cut filler pieces from the bottom side but no shorter than 12” in length. Protection board must cover the entire surface as the StormVoid™ is positioned. Avoid the use of point-loaded Rebar chairs as well as excess piling of concrete during placement. As with our other void form product lines, we provide custom, pre-manufactured units with holes already cut, reinforced, and sealed to surround drilled piers, making installation in those areas a breeze!

AMAZING DESIGN

The plastic interior network of StormVoid™ is designed to support specific weight loads under liquid concrete and steel, but bend before uplifting soil pressure can apply damaging stress to the concrete structure above. The wax-coated exterior cover contains and positions the inner components. It is strongly recommended that the entire top surface of StormVoid be covered with 7/16” oriented strand board (OSB) to bridge small gaps, distribute working loads, and protect against puncture from rebar chairs, work boots, etc. during rebar installation and concrete placement. A protective covering of 1/4″ hardboard can be used in lieu of 7/16” OSB if it is kept dry prior to concrete placement. Please be advised that hardboard will rapidly degrade when saturated.
