SureVoid® System

The SureVoid product line is the simplest solution to prevent structural damage from adjacent soils. Made from paper-based cartons, these void forms degrade over time, leaving a space between soil and concrete. Easy to order and install, the SureVoid System is the most specified solution for expansive soil.

System and Components

Working together, each element in the carton void system provides complete concrete isolation from expansive, corrosive, collapsible, and seismic soils while providing temporary support until the concrete sets. System components include void forms, cover boards, vapor barriers, and backfill retainers.

System Components

Walls & Beams
WallVoid and TrenchVoid 3D rendering

WallVoid & TrenchVoid

WallVoid and TrenchVoid create a void space directly under grade beams or walls to protect concrete from heaving soil. WallVoid’s panel flange enables the concrete form to rest on the flange to prevent the void form from floating up into the wall during the concrete pour.

ArcVoid WallVoid 3D rendering

ArcVoid

Made from WallVoid and TrenchVoid products, ArcVoid is a pre-manufactured, non-field-cut, sealed corrugated carton void form that fits the pier diameter.

SureLedge Paper Wrapped Double Flanged 3D rendering

LedgeVoid

LedgeVoid creates a horizontal form to block out concrete where brick or stone is to be placed. Nine configurations are available to withstand lateral and vertical pressures when pouring concrete.

PanelVoid 3D rendering

PanelVoid

PanelVoid ensures an adequate void space is attained underneath tilt-up precast concrete panels.

Vertical SeparatorVoid 3D rendering

SeparatorVoid

Specially designed, vertical carton forms that separate a freshly placed concrete wall from an existing vertical structure, where minimal space prohibits conventional forming.

Blockouts 3D rendering

BlockOut

Help form irregular shapes and spaces in concrete structures. Convenient and cost-effective forming solutions for keyways, ledges, beam pockets, pipe openings, etc. They can also be configured to fit vertically between form ties for oversized areas.

FootingVoid 3D rendering

FootingVoid

Lightweight and economical carton forms specifically designed to create void space directly under intermittent concrete footings (conventional footing forming).

Slabs & Piers
SlabVoid 3D rendering

SlabVoid

SlabVoid is our signature slab void form that creates a void space directly under structural concrete slabs. SlabVoid is available fully assembled or unassembled for easy shipping.

PierVoid Round 3D rendering

PierVoid Round

Round PierVoids have sealed edges and are pre-manufactured to correctly form a circular void under a round pier cap.

PierVoid Square 3D rendering

PierVoid

Designed to be used in conjunction with SlabVoid, these products are ideal for pier tops at ground level.

PierVoid DP Tapered 3D rendering

DropPanel TPR

DropPanel TPR are project-specific pre-manufactured and sealed void forms that support cantilevered pier caps.

PierVoid DP Square 3D rendering

DropPanel VRT

DropPanel VRT are project-specific pre-manufactured and sealed void forms that support pier caps with vertical edges.

Soil Retainers & Protectors
CoverBoard Layout Rendering - StormVoid (with label)

Cover Boards

Cover Boards provide protection against point-load punctures which could allow liquid concrete to inadvertently seep into the void space.

SureCover Boards™ come in a range of weights for light, medium, moderate and standard protection of the void form surface.

StormCover Board™ is 5.00 mm weatherproof protection for underlying void forms.

Plywood may be used in extreme circumstances and is available upon request.

BackFill Retainer 3D rendering

BackFill Retainer

Prevent backfill soil from displacing the void space under grade beams and slab edges. The polypropylene copolymer plastic BackFill Retainer is available in a wide range of sizes and strengths.

SureRetainer 3D rendering

SureRetainer

SureRetainers are lightweight HDPE plastic and are ideal for void spaces less than 16″ tall.

SureTops 3D rendering

SureTops

By forming and containing the upper 2-foot portion of poured-in-place concrete piers, SureTops create a smooth edge to ensure uplift pressure does not damage the pier.

Void Form Vapor Barriers

Vapor Barriers

Plastic sheets in a variety of grades and thicknesses that are placed between the carton form system and the bottom of the concrete to prevent moisture from coming up into the structure.
