For Load Repartition Structures:
One or more PONTEX elements added in areas subject to greater loads or exceptional stress.

For Self-bearing Floors:
With PONTEX the floor discharges its loads to the foundations and not to the ground. Poor load-bearing soils need no enhancing (by excavating, using gravel or lean concrete) which saves considerably on costs.

For Half Plane Floors:
PONTEX can be used to make half plane floors where, in the openings, the services can be located, facilitating their maintenance. It is easy to apply a false ceiling to the floors to close the voids in the slab.

For Connecting Concrete Structures:
By using PONTEX for industrial buildings, connecting concrete structures can be made between the plinths simultaneously with the Cupolex-Pontex casting system, saving time and money.

The Cupolex-Pontex floor can even be applied directly on a poor-load bearing soil. In fact, if the floor is calculated properly with our software, it will support any differentiated soil yielding. PONTEX will neither interfere with the aeration nor services passing, due to the continuous hollow space beneath the slab.

With PONTEX and CUPOLEX it is possible to obtain floors with very high load bearing capacities, which can be calculated with our program.

Suspended floors or half plane floors can also be made using the Cupolex-Pontex system, to be calculated by our software. Implementation is extremely easy, making a supporting scaffold on which to rest the CUPOLEX and PONTEX elements and then casting the concrete after the required reinforcements have been placed.

The utilities and services can be installed in the floor openings so they can be serviced without having to demolish floors and ceilings. The floor underneath can be left visible, creating patterns if the elements are removed. The elements can remain but the floor underneath requires to be closed with an easy-to-install false ceiling that meets all the fire code requirements as outlined in the local Building Codes.

An infinite number of structural "types" are possible using either the unidirectional or crossed PONTEX types.
