Tube system for ventilated vaults

The modular system assembled by Tubes is used for the construction of vaults, ventilated floors and interstice, both in civil and industrial buildings. This solution is particularly useful in the creation of tanks for the dispersion or accumulation of rainwater intended for non-potable uses, such as fire-fighting systems or irrigation.

The formwork for interspaces and floors is indispensable in contexts where the height of the vespaio does not allow the use of traditional single-block castings or when customized solutions are needed, such as in the presence of inclined planes or multi-level surfaces.

Composed of three basic elements – a 15 cm high square (50 x 50 cm) formwork, a 3 cm support foot and a 125 mm diameter pipe – TUBES is usually laid on a thin concrete substrate, with a variable thickness according to the application.

Once a suitable welded mesh and the reinforcing bars for the pillars are installed, the concrete is poured, creating pillars with a constant diameter that, Once hardened, they ensure the strength of the floor and the uniform distribution of loads over the entire surface.
