What BubbleDeck International does

BubbleDeck International A/S, headquartered in Farum, Denmark, is a privately held construction-technology company that developed and licenses the BubbleDeck® voided slab system, a biaxial hollow concrete slab technology in which hollow recycled-plastic balls are integrated within a steel reinforcement lattice to eliminate non-performing concrete from the neutral axis. Founded by Professor Jørgen Breuning and commercially deployed since 1996, the company offers a product range spanning cast in-situ, precast panel, semi precast, and self-carrying semi precast variants (BD 230 through BD 450, plus custom mega-span types up to 1,600mm), delivering approximately 35% slab weight reduction, up to 50% materials savings, and 20-40% erection cycle time reductions. The core technology is protected by patents on the air-steel integration technique and on post-tensioned self-carrying semi precast panels, and is incorporated in Eurocodes EN 13747:2005 plus Dutch, UK, Danish, and German national standards. The business operates through a licensing model in which national BubbleDeck companies handle local marketing, sales, client engagement, structural calculations, and project supervision in more than 40 countries, while headquarters coordinates international activities, technical support and training, quality supervision, and new market/technique development. End-users include commercial and residential developers, architects, structural engineers, contractors, and sustainable/green-building projects, with documented deployments including the 209m Piemonte Tower in Turin, the 170,000 m² CADF Administrative Centre in Brasilia, the Harpa Concert House in Reykjavik, and Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. Revenue is generated primarily through technology licensing royalties and technical support/training services, with project-specific pricing handled by national licensees.

Core offering

BubbleDeck International licenses and supports a patented biaxial voided slab construction system in which hollow recycled plastic balls are locked between top and bottom reinforcement to form a monolithic biaxial hollow slab, eliminating at least 30% of a slab's dead weight. The portfolio includes cast in-situ, precast panel, semi-precast, and self-carrying semi-precast versions (BD 230 to BD 450, plus mega-span variants up to 1600 mm), delivered through licensed national operating companies that run project proposals, calculations, supervision, and quality control while the Danish headquarters provides training, technical support, and new market/technique development.

Product overview

BubbleDeck International offers the BubbleDeck® Technology, a revolutionary voided slab construction system. The product portfolio consists of four main variants: Cast In-Situ Version (prefabricated 'bubblelattice' on traditional formwork), Precast Panel Version (half-slab with precast concrete layer), Semi Precast Panels (most common for new-build projects, acting as seamless ceiling), and Self-Carrying Semi Precast Panels (state-of-the-art with post-tension stringers for zero deflection). The product range includes BD 230 through BD 450 variants with heights from 230mm to 420mm, spans from 7m to 18m, and custom mega span types available upon request (thickness up to 1600mm). The system uses recycled plastic balls as void formers to eliminate non-performing concrete from the neutral axis, reducing dead weight by 35%.

Products and services

• BubbleDeck® Cast In-Situ Version The baseline BubbleDeck version cast over pre-fabricated 'bubble-lattice' reinforcement modules on traditional formwork; modules up to 40 m² carry main structural reinforcement and embedded bubbles as void formers and can be manually lifted into position. Designed for construction teams that prefer traditional site formwork.
• BubbleDeck® Precast Panel Version Half-slab BubbleDeck in which the bottom of the 'bubble-lattice' unit is supplied with a precast concrete layer that replaces the horizontal formwork on site; panels are delivered just-in-time, placed on temporary propping, topped up with in-situ concrete, and shuttered at joints. Used where the cast in-situ version's formwork step is undesirable.
• BubbleDeck® Semi Precast Panels Semi precast panel in which a precast concrete layer replaces the horizontal formwork on site, with the underside acting directly as a seamless ceiling; positioned as the standard for the majority of new-build projects.
• BubbleDeck® Self-Carrying Semi Precast Panels Patented self-carrying semi precast panel variant that incorporates post-tension stringers to deliver unprecedented carrying capacity, reduce the number of temporary props, and enable zero deflection. Marketed as a state-of-the-art offering.
• BD 230 Slab Type Low-profile BubbleDeck variant: height 230 mm, ball diameter 180 mm, span 7–10 m, mass 370 kg/m², on-site concrete 0.10 m³/m².
• BD 285 Slab Type Mid-range BubbleDeck variant: height 280 mm, ball diameter 225 mm, span 8–12 m, mass 460 kg/m², on-site concrete 0.14 m³/m².
• BD 340 Slab Type Mid-to-large BubbleDeck variant: height 330 mm, ball diameter 270 mm, span 9–14 m, mass 550 kg/m², on-site concrete 0.18 m³/m².
• BD 395 Slab Type Large BubbleDeck variant: height 380 mm, ball diameter 315 mm, span 10–16 m, mass 640 kg/m², on-site concrete 0.20 m³/m².
• BD 450 Slab Type Heaviest standard BubbleDeck variant: height 420 mm, ball diameter 360 mm, span 11–18 m, mass 730 kg/m², on-site concrete 0.25 m³/m².
• BubbleDeck® Mega Span Slab Types Custom-engineered BubbleDeck variants for mega spans, available on request with thicknesses up to 1,600 mm, typically combined with post-tensioning for long-span structures such as car parks and high-rise projects.
• BubbleDeck® Technology Licensing to National Companies Licensing of BubbleDeck's patented integration technique and BD system IP to national BubbleDeck companies in 40+ countries, granting them the right to perform national marketing, sales, client proposals, calculations, project supervision, and quality control in their territories.
• Technical Support and Training Services Supervising technical support and training delivered by the Danish headquarters to national BubbleDeck licensees and project teams, alongside specialized calculations, installation supervision, general quality supervision, and development of new techniques and markets.
