Foundation Forming System on Display During Exhibit Hours in Booth W5275 at Orlando ’s Orange County Convention Center February 7 – 10


PLEASANT HILL, Calif. (January 30, 2007) — Pacific Housing Systems ™, LLC today announced that Suncoast Post Tension will feature a special display of the WAFFLEMAT foundation forming system in booth W5275 at the International Builders’ Show, to be held February 7 – 10 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando , Florida . Representatives from both Suncoast and Pacific Housing Systems will be on hand to discuss features of the system and provide information. 

The WAFFLEMAT System is designed for expansive soils conditions, with nearly 7,000,000 sf of residential living space installed since 1995. For more information, please call Rich Treanor at 925.640.8680 or visit www.pacifichousingsystems.com.

In addition to the International Builders Show, PHS recently announced the opening of WAFFLEMAT showcases in both Southern California (at CONCO’s Fontana facility, 13052 Dahlia Street ) and Colorado (at Stryan Structural Systems, 7124 S. Dillon Ct. , Englewood ). Builders, engineers, trade partners and municipalities have the opportunity to tour the exhibits and see the WAFFLEMAT System.

Tom Richards, President and CEO of Pacific Housing Systems, said: “It’s amazing to witness the reaction of a builder who sees the WAFFLEMAT System up close and personal for the first time. The hard dollar cost savings in materials, soil work, and future warranty issues are visually evident. Both the World of Concrete and showcase exhibits will not only be a great tool in demonstrating these areas of savings, but many, many more.”

Dane Dixon, Area Representative for CONCO Southern California, noted: “ The number one feature home buyers want in their foundation is strength, and with nearly 7,000,000 sf of residential living space installed since 1995 without one reported structural failure, the WAFFLEMAT can certainly deliver. The spacing of the ribs provides for an extremely stiff floor, and its environmentally-friendly, 'green' materials act as a built-in vapor barrier that can help shield against moisture.”
