| Finbar Group the development market is their commitment to environmental sustainability – which they believe starts “from the ground up.” “That’s why we’ve moved away from traditional methods of concrete floor slab construction and embraced the ‘Biaxial Hollow Slab,’ an innovative and environmentally superior product most commonly known as BubbleDeck,” Ronald explains. BubbleDeck was introduced to Australia by Gerry Hannssen of Hanssen Pty Ltd, which is Finbar’s exclusive and long-termprimary building contractor. The BubbleDeck system creates lighter and stronger floor slabs by using large, hollow plastic balls in a lattice of steel, sandwiched onto a pre-cast panel. It’s a patented integration technique that’s fully tested, confirms with ISO-standards, and results in high quality, easy onsite work. “We are proudly the pioneers of this precast concrete floor technology in Australia,” Ronald says. Finbar also incorporates a variety of other sustainability features in every one of their developments. For example, many of their developments feature central heat pump hot water systems, which can reduce operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions by 65 per cent or more.
