Econo-Slab has been used so many times on Manitoulin Island, it's beginning to seem like the whole place is a display project. This one is a 100' x 120' x 12" slab.

Take a look at these pictures - just beautiful!

Over 70% of new homes in the U.S. now sit on floating slab foundations, and for good reason - they’re efficient and budget-friendly! Slab foundations are gaining traction with residential projects, while being the go-to for many commercial projects, too.

Floating slabs handle the weight and stress of heavy structures, withstand extreme weather, and cut down on install time - perfect for keeping your project on schedule and within budget. 💰

The Pantheon has survived earthquakes, floods, and over 2,000 years of wear and tear, and it’s all thanks to its floating slab foundation!

But how exactly did the ancient Romans make this structure stand for so long without it sinking into the ground?

This marvel of engineering, completed around 126 A D, under Emperor Hadrian, is one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks. Its towering concrete dome, and 7.8-metre wide oculus, usually get the most attention. But what’s often overlooked is the ingenious engineering that lies beneath - the floating foundation slab it sits on, which has helped it defy the tests of nature and time.

This foundation design was no accident, either. Ancient Roman engineers knew their terrain quite well, and Rome was no stranger to minor earthquakes. Another consideration they had to take into account is that the ground beneath the Pantheon is composed of clay subsoil. This is a BIG risk for subsidence, or shifting, over time.

They knew that building on rigid, unyielding stone would likely lead to cracking and instability if the ground shifted underneath. So they decided they would create a 4 and a half-meter-thick floating slab foundation to counter these problems and build the Pantheon on that. It was composed of sand, gravel, and clay, and embedded with pozzolanic ash, a volcanic material known for its exceptional strength and resistance to cracking.

The slab was designed with a combination of solids and voids to keep the structure stable on Rome’s unpredictable, marshy soil. This is something that modern engineers might compare to expansion joints, but in a way that predates the concept by millennia. It’s as if the architects of Emperor Hadrian’s era had anticipated the challenges of soil compression and found a solution far ahead of their time!

Just think... if a floating slab can support this massive STONE building for thousands of years, imagine what it can do for your next project. 😉

With the Econo-Slab™️, we use these time-tested design principles to build floating slab foundations that give your project the same long-lasting stability! 💪

When you stick to the plan and use the P. Eng. drawings that come with every ECONO-SLAB, you can get pro-level results, even if you’re not an experienced contractor.

This case study with Cooper proves exactly that. We think the results speak for themselves! The final slab is prepped, poured, and ready for construction. 💪 🚧

Hard to believe we used to do this all by hand! Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology sure has come a long way since then.

Thanks to all the advancements in , what used to take hours now takes minutes, and we can tweak designs instantly. We’ve also gone from basic 2D to detailed 3D models that help us spot potential issues before we even pour a slab!

Take a look at our timeline in the carousel to see just how much CAD has changed over the years. Maybe take a quick moment of silence, too, for the old-fashioned way of doing things. 😅
