A small Polish company working in an Upper Silesian agglomeration offers technology for making dense ribbed ceilings for universal use (it originally was meant as a solution for replacing ceilings in old buildings). This technology is less expensive, easier in manufacture, and assures better rigidity of the entire building cube. It is also much less dependent of availability of heavy equipment. The company is seeking partners for a joint-venture operation or a license agreement.

The technology for making monolithic dense ribbed ceilings was developed by a Polish company as a solution for the problem of replacement of the wooden ceilings in old (50+ years) buildings common in Upper Silesia. Current technologies are a partial solution since they do not assure proper rigidity of the building. They also rely on heavy equipment that may have problems reaching construction site because of densely built surroundings. The idea was born around year 1980 and evolved to its current (fourth) form. Technology allows mounting the ceiling with 50% less time and with 30% lower costs. The dense-ribbed-ceiling technology forces cohesion between the ceiling's construction elements and boarding while concrete is being poured. Reinforcement of the ceiling is made using spatial girder elements joined by screwed connectors. Boarding is made of arch elements of hat-shaped profile. Screwed connectors join reinforcement with boarding and create a complete load-carrying system for the time of concrete pouring. Screws left after dismounting the boarding may be used for the mount of plasterboard.

This technology also is fully applicable:
- As a technology in the common building industry as a solution for a ceiling (for houses, flats and alike)
- In industrial building (for halls, warehouses)
- In civil engineering

Innovative Aspects:
- Girder elements of reinforcement are connected by specially designed screw connectors that join boarding with girder structure while concrete is being poured.
- Forced load bearing of reinforcement while concrete is being poured.

Main Advantages:
- Shorter construction time (up to 50% tine saving)
- Lower labour intensity
- Lower material cost
- Possibility of prefabrication and standardisation of boarding and girder elements
- Repetitivity of structure
- Used for replacing old ceilings
- Possibility of eliminating of heavy equipment (which may have problems reaching construction site)
