Slab Process

How our rib & block system works

From the first rib to the final concrete pour — engineered components positioned according to drawing, then inspected and signed off.

01

Engineered ribs

Pre-stressed T-ribs are positioned to span according to your structural engineering drawing.

02

Block infill

Concrete or polystyrene blocks fill the voids between ribs, forming the slab profile.

Mesh & pour

Reinforcement mesh is laid and ready mix concrete is poured to create a monolithic slab.

04

Inspect & sign-off

A qualified PR structural engineer inspects and signs off the final installation.

The Smarter Slab System — faster & cost saving

The 3m Propless Slab System ™

Traditional rib and block systems rely heavily on propping, slowing installation and increasing labour and setup cost. By significantly reducing propping while remaining lightweight and easy to handle, the Propless System speeds up the build.

60%Less propping required
13%Lower overall slab cost

Integrated input eliminates the need for shorter boards, reducing both material costs and preparation time. The result is a faster, cleaner, more cost-efficient slab solution.
