Void former Egcovoid®

for load activation

The Egcovoid® void former creates a load-free separating layer. Load activations are required, especially in the event of incalculable forces, to produce a targeted load transmission. The Egcovoid® void former enables vibration decoupling or statically specific load situations. Occasionally, the void former is also used in swelling soils.

Advantages

Typical application areas of the Egcovoid® void former are:

  • Targeted load introduction for pile foundations
  • Targeted load of the subbase through the floor slab in underground structures
  • Vertical separating layer to existing foundations
  • Vertical void between an existing building wall and a new building wall
  • Expansion space for swelling soils

A flat load-free layer must be created to protect underground structures against unwanted loads. This prevents unwanted load transfer, in particular from deflections of concrete structures subject to dynamic traffic loads (heavy vehicles, trucks, etc.).

The Egcovoid® void former is used to achieve planned load activation after concreting.

Building up against an existing neighbouring wall is a critical area with regard to statics, settlement and sound insulation.
In order to statically and acoustically decouple an existing wall from a new building wall, a void is created with the Egcovoid® void former.
It is important to isolate the existing wall from the new one and to ensure that there is a continuous joint between the neighbouring walls. Unlike permanent formwork with perimeter insulation, sound bridges and static influences are completely prevented with the Egcovoid® void former.
