What we do
The CLEVA POD® patented system has been a 10-year innovation journey. It was born from a need to develop a more environmental and sustainable alternative to the current polystyrene void forming pods, while maintaining the same parameters of the standard sized pods. The CLEVA POD® is the only full-sized plastic foundation pod system that can be cut on any angle just like a traditional pod to fit all foundation configurations. The CLEVA POD® has been incorporated into the Firth Rib Raft Technical Manual as the environmental choice.
How we can help you to go circular
The CLEVA POD® system challenges a 30-year standard practice in foundations. CLEVACO® has taken a deliberate path in developing the 100% recycled plastic void former CLEVA POD®. Traditional polystyrene rib raft/waffle pod foundations are a single-use linear system. Foundations built using this system become 100% waste at end of life. For an average 160m² house foundation, this equates to about 47 tonnes of contaminated concrete going to landfill. This is unsustainable. Conversely, the CLEVA POD® system results in a foundation where 100% of the components, including concrete, steel and plastic can be recovered and recycled multiple times. The CLEVA POD® system is internationally patented and available in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.
