Voids in concrete walls are a widespread issue in the construction industry, posing significant risks to structural integrity that can lead to complications like weakened load-bearing capacity and potential structural failure. Even minor voids can create points of weakness that disrupt the uniform distribution of stress, making walls more vulnerable to cracking and facilitating water ingress, ultimately accelerating deterioration, and increasing maintenance costs.

Eliminating the Risk of Air Voids in Concrete Walls is a deep dive into the causes and effects of voids in concrete walls, offering architects practical insights and best practices for mitigation in both small and large-scale projects.  Repairing voids after construction is labour-intensive, costly, and disruptive to project timelines, making preventative measures—such as proper concrete compaction, high-quality mixing, and skilled placement techniques—the most effective way to avoid these issues.

Founded in 1989, the Dincel Group initially focused on structural, civil, and building services consulting engineering services for both commercial and residential projects. In 2006, they introduced Dincel Structural Walling, a PVC-based permanent formwork system developed through extensive research particularly with regard to compliance with Australian NCC standards. Dincel solutions are increasingly adopted in commercial, residential, and civil markets across Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, helping architects and builders avoid issues like concrete voids by providing a reliable and efficient construction solution.
