Definition: Innovative flooring system inserting hollow plastic spheres (polypropylene) into reinforced concrete slabs to create voids.

Purpose: Reduces overall weight and material usage in construction.

Advantages:

Significant reduction in concrete and steel usage.

Lighter slabs decrease structural weight, reducing foundation costs.

Enables longer spans between supports → fewer columns → flexible, open floor plans.

Contributes to sustainability and lowers construction costs.
