Research and Development and Building and Footings Systems

We have a strong research and development program that has been involved in developing structural systems, ground improvement techniques, fibre reinforced concrete elements and footing systems.

The Waffle-Pod™ footing system was developed by Koukourou in the early 80s to dramatically reduce the cost, and improve the performance of footings for residential structures on reactive clay soils. The Waffle-Pod™ footing system now accounts for a significant percentage of the residential footings market in Australia.
