Doha: April 4, 2015 - At the next Project Qatar show, 4 – 7 May 2015 at Doha, ALLAINE will exhibit its range of adjustable pedestals made in France. ALLAINE screwjack pedestals can be adjustables or fixed, they are used for slab and timber terraces. They are adjustable in the height from 25mm to 700mm and allow slabs to be adjusted and levelled continuously, effortlessly, quickly and at lower cost, in particular in pedestrian walkway areas.

Efficient, resistant, simple and long-lasting, the adjustable pedestal can be used on a double- or single-layer concrete seal, asphalt or any other suitable base. The range – from 25 to 700 mm – provides an easy access to the pipes for their maintenance by passing under the slabs or the floorboards. This can be performed without affecting the slab on either the base or the head of the pedestal through an adjustment screw which can be operated by hand or using a special key supplied in each carton.

The average requirement is 7 pedestals/m² where 40/40 cm slabs are used, and 5 pedestals/m² for 50/50 cm slabs. Thanks to the special key an easy adjustment of the nut of the pedestal by up to 50 cm is possible. In case of borders or corners of roofs, any spacers that cause a problem need to be planed down with a cutter, a wire cutter or a hacksaw.

ALLAINE can meet all the needs of a construction site thanks to its ability to mass-produce custom-made parts in very short lead-times. Through its international development strategy, it has established and developed partnerships with local contractors in Northern Europe, Spain, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. Its export sales have risen by 20% in 3 years.

ALLAINE is a family-owned company. Since 1987 it has specialised in producing injection-moulded plastic parts for the building sector. Now the leading French company in this field, it is one of the Europe's three largest producers of slab supports. In 2014, ALLAINE supplied 2 major construction sites in Dubai through a French customer.

After visiting the BIG5 SHOW in November 2014, ALLAINE decided to exhibit in the region for the 1sttime. As Mr. Hervé Allaine, the company's current CEO, explains 'PROJECT QATAR is an opportunity to make ourselves known in a country that will be hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and in a region where major real-estate projects will also be launched in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, stimulated by the 2020 Universal Exhibition in Dubai.'

By exhibiting its products at PROJECT QATAR, ALLAINE hopes to meet local distributors, or make direct sales to waterproofing companies or companies that create slab or wooden terraces.

ALLAINE will be exhibiting in Hall 4 – booth A69 at the French Pavilion, from 4 to 7 may 2015.
