The possibilities of the concept are shown in the following examples of constructions made by the BubbleDeck technology:
University, Utrecht in the Netherlands:
Vogaskoli, School in Reykjavik, Iceland:
Sogn Arena, Oslo in Norway:
City Hall and Offices, Glostrup in Denmark:
Between 2002 and 2008 full building regulation approval was issued to 12 no. UK & Channel Islands projects that have been successfully completed, including Salisbury Law Courts and 96 apartments in Le Coie Social rented flats together containing over 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) of BubbleDeck floors. In 2007 one floor of two UK projects were partially completed due to reticence of one building control body following which another building control firm was prepared to approve. Irrespective of which the design & build contractor decided to switch to a conventional solid concrete slab structure. The British Board of Agrément undertook a full technical assessment of the BubbleDeck system which they have confirmed is acceptable, pending further production and site installation assessment. Since 2008 the BubbleDeck system continued to be marketed in UK and further buildings have recently been completed - where one wonders!

“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
