Publication number: 20250059714Abstract: Formwork, matrices, concrete matrices and methods of manufacture are described. The formwork may be configured to receive and retain concrete within an internal void space and has a concrete free external void space. Also described is a concrete matrix formed using the formwork and related methods of manufacture of a formwork matrix and formwork. The formwork itself and matrices formed from the formwork may have a degree of compressive strength. With concrete poured and set into the formwork, the resulting concrete matrix has a very high compressive strength and forms a structural matrix on which a hardscape or load may be placed. The above formwork, matrices, and methods reduces the number of parts needed to form a formwork or matrix and may facilitate snap fit design and installation and hence the ability to assemble the matrix toolessly.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventor: Benjamin Douglas Gooden

Patent number: 10045490Abstract: A modular cell that may be used with other cells to form a matrix under a load bearing feature, the cell being a single piece molding that supports a compressive load placed thereon, the molding including a void space defined within: a skirt shaped support member defining a substantially planar surface with an opening therein; and at least one leg integral to and extending from the support member. The cell further includes at least one linking member that releasably links together multiple cells to form a matrix of cells. The cells may be linked together vertically and/or horizontally. The cell and matrix include greater load bearing capacity and rigidity through aligned legs to carry the weight and interlinking members that act to share the load among the various cells. The design is cheaper to produce and allows easy access of the void space for filling and laying utility lines.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: STRATA INNOVATIONS PTY LIMITEDInventor: Benjamin Douglas Gooden
