Foundations transfer the load of the walls of the building, or the road, to the soil. Two types of foundations exist: shallow foundations and deep foundations. Design load, soil bearing capacity or even site constraints are criteria which determine the type of foundation to employ. It will be even more challenging if the structures are to be made near to coastline, riverbanks.
Geo textile Fabrics offers solutions to build shallow foundations with Geo textile Geo. The main advantage of using such woven geotextiles is that they remove the need for traditional costly shuttering. Thus, they offer a significant time-saving. They are both used on the first layers of the soil and filled with concrete to build a solid foundation capable of supporting a building.
Whether it is Individual or Raft Foundation, use of Geo textile Geo along with layers of soil below the foundations will prevent the differential settlement in the soft soil. It will distribute the load of whole foundation structure along the width of Geo synthetic material. This is most Geo textile economic solution for construction of high-rised building on the soil having a high amount of water content.
Storage of water for irrigation, farming, leisure, in the case of heavy rains or floods, they are used to act as an attenuating or balancing system which retains the excess of water to keep infrastructure and people safe. This can be achieved by making Reservoirs, Lakes or Ponds for Aquaculture. The use of Geo textile Geo along with Geo membrane will reduce the cost of periodic excavation for bank preparation.
