The Lean Structure

The new concrete waffle slab HOLEDECK is a patented system of voided slabs for buildings with big spans between supports and a high level of services. It can be pierced all through its thickness by the building conductions and services. This means that services in cross-sections occupy the same space as the structure itself and thus no additional suspended ceilings are required to hide them all. HOLEDECK is especially suitable for buildings requiring multiple services as well as big or medium spans, such as office buildings, hospitals, schools or any public, commercial or industrial building.

Why HOLEDECK...? Because is BETTER: ECONOMICALLY, ENVIROMENTALLY, TECHNICALLY AND AESTHETICALLY

ECONOMICALLY
The weight of the waffle slab itself is reduced as well as the consumption of concrete, improving structure behauviour (fig. 01)

Holedeck system reduces consumption of concrete, and employs the same amount of reinforcement steel / time for completion as a waffle slab.
(fig. 02)

A total of 30-50cm are saved per floor thus reducing all the corresponding vertical building elements. This implies a 10-20 per cent saving in

fig. 01

faades and indoor enclosures as well as a 10-20 per cent reduction in pillars and load bearing walls. (fig. 03) Building elements are saved. Some elements can be fully eliminated, such as suspended ceilings and technical floors. Some services can be directly supported by the concrete slab ribs thus allowing for the removal of auxiliary bearers.

ENVIROMENTALLY
An additional floor can be obtained every 5 stories thus making it possible to significantly increase the total surface built while maintaining the same volume. The energy losses in the building are reduced by 10-20 per cent, proportionally to the reduction of enclosures Plenum distribution is possible, improving energy efficiency in the ventilation system by using the thermal inertia of the whole mass of concrete comprised by the slab. HOLEDECK offers easy-cleaning by plenum ventilation. Thanks to registrability, its excelent against sick building syndrome It is fully adpted to bioclimatic air conditioning systems such as the Canadian wells geothermal system(in fact this system has been installed in Logytel building) or radiant floor.

TECHNICALLY
Thanks to the geometry of the waffle slab, HOLEDECK has an excellent reverberance time perfomance. It reduces reverberance time by 1/5 compared to a flat concrete slab. No additional acoustic absorption is needed to fulfill with CTE DB HR regulations. Services registrability is improved as no building works are required and activity does not need to be stopped either. Therefore maintenance or reconfiguration costs are cut and no hindrance is caused to any other activity. Due to its modulated character this system is adapted to accept installations and elements specifically designed for standard modulated ceilings of 60-cm modules. The system can be adapted to conventional geometries and modulations With HOLEDECK it is possible to cover big spans with a reasonable edge: it is suitable for big spans ranging from 10 to 15 meter high with a 50-60cm slab edge It offers fire resistance thanks to the dimensions of its ribs, so no additional fire protection is required as it is the case with steel-structure frameworks.

AESTHETICALLY
HOLEDECK slab reminds others of the internal morphology for bones. Thanks to the geometry of the waffle slab, services are not visible but easily accessible though. This makes the suspended ceiling unnecessary while allowing for a complete registrability of services; so it is perfect for installing the whole electric power distribution throughout the ceiling. It is possible to keep an aesthetic and expressive structure with fair-faced concrete by adding dyes to the concrete mass or just painting it afterwards. HOLEDECK is set up in a similar way to other voided flat plate slabs. It provides greater freedom of design for the plant geometry and pillar placing. It is modulated according to a 80cm interaxis so it is dimensionally interchangeable with any voided two-way flat plate slab system with similar features.

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
The standard Holedeck module is 80x80 cm in horizontal layout, 45 cm high plus 5 to 10 cm for compression layer. The span for this slab can be 8-14 m in both directions without beams ( we recommend not more of 12 m, in order to make the reinforcement process easier) .A 25x25m square plan structure would just need a column in the center. Pieces are assembled progressively, alternating with the steel reinforcement setup. Once the casting molds have been laid out, the lower steel bars are assembled, followed by the windows and, finally, the upper steel bars; just as it would be done with a conventional two-way system. As for the lattice slab (with vertical borings), the upper lids of the casting molds are last placed. The assembling process is quite similar to that of any two-way voided waffle slab, with a comparable calculation and consumption of steel reinforcement. The systems patent provides feasible variations that enable one-way precast systems which would require the use of bearing beams. It also includes some other casing systems such as non-recoverable or flammable casting molds. 2

The casing system comprises 4 pieces: Piece 1: Casting mold piece with insertion rails Piece 2: upper lid to create lattice slab through upper opening Piece 3: closed window for edge solutions Piece 4: window to communicate casting mold

SYSTEMS / SERVICES

As abovementioned, the system may use specific service systems (custom-made systems) or just standard systems as the ones designed for 60-cm-modulated ceilings. In addition to the gaps in the two directions of the horizontal plane which enable an isotropic layout along the whole plane of the slab, the system can be not only easily accessed from below but also from above with a system of raised floors or small passing-pieces for cables (as long as the acoustic and fire regulations allow for). Where required, air is distributed through diffusers likewise embedded in the hollow edge of the slab. The system admits conventional air conditioning indoor units of 60x60 modules. The lower part of the waffle slab may be left uncovered or a removable suspended ceiling may be used.

Air may be distributed through conventional semi-flexible conduits or through a plenum system, which requires a sealed suspended ceiling and removable locks in lateral windows.

MODEL A: Pipe air distribution (variable diameter) for low ventilation needs.

MODEL B: Pipe / Plenum combined air distribution for medium ventilation needs.

MODEL C: Partial Plenum air distribution for high ventilation needs.

MODEL D: Total Plenum air distribution for maximum ventilation needs.

HOLEDECK offers easy-cleaning by plenum ventilation. Thanks to registrability, its excelent against SBS (Sick Building Syndrome)

GARAGES HOLEDECK allows high-volume air extraction by plenum. Therefore is suitable for garages and other industrial buildings with high ventilation needs.

Electrical services/ telecommunications Therefore, mechanical services, cables, wiring and electrical supply can be embedded in conduits through the floor or inside a system of removable flat plates. It is likewise possible to place them into a suspended ceiling and thus they would be completely accessible by removing it. Installation of radiating systems Radiating systems or even cold ceiling systems may be installed underneath the floor included in the compression layer of the slab.
