ABS PH2 — Advanced Building Systems
Home/Technical Resources
Technical Resources

Specifications, drawings, and standards for engineers who need proof, not promises.

Datasheets, design guidance, and engineering drawings for every part of the ABS system — built for architects, structural engineers, and specifiers.

Laboratory tested

ABS Blocks have been laboratory tested on numerous occasions for strength and load-bearing performance.

Seismic & cyclone rated

Testing gives the block system an earthquake and cyclone rating, verified rather than assumed.

AS 2870 basis for slabs

Waffle Pod foundation design draws on Australian Standard AS 2870 for footing on reactive and unstable soils.

Resource library

Documentation for every stage of design.

Request any document below and our technical team will send it directly, along with guidance specific to your project's location and soil conditions.

Datasheet

ABS Block — Load Bearing & Structural Data

Laboratory-tested strength, load-bearing performance, and seismic/cyclone rating summary for ABS Blocks.

Design Guide

Waffle Pod Design Guide (AS 2870 basis)

Pod dimensions, spacing, reinforcement layout, and soil-classification guidance for raft slab design.

Engineering Drawings

Speed Slab Installation Drawings

Panel dimensions, Z-section detailing, tongue-and-groove jointing, and propping layout for suspended slabs.

Sketch Set

ABS Wall System — Detail Sketches

Interlocking course detail, corner and opening details, and render/finish specification for ABS Block walls.

Specification

Manufacturing Plant Specification

Land, utility, shed, and equipment requirements for a standard ABS production plant.

Technical Note

Material & Filler Options

Guidance on aggregate selection and lightweight filler materials such as Leca for cost and thermal optimisation.

For specifiers

Bring us your soil report — we'll bring the slab design.

Waffle Pod raft slabs are engineered per site, based on soil classification. Send us your geotechnical report and target structure and our technical team will return pod layout, reinforcement spacing, and expected performance.
