Reinforcement geocomposite TENSARTECH® STRATUM™

high-density polyethylene (HDPE)foundationburied wall

Proven foundation improvement solution Provides stability without the need for piles or other ground improvement measures No need for excavation of weak foundation soils Allows faster construction Suitable for many applications where weak soils are present Control differential settlement When dealing with soft foundation soils - where expensive piling and other deep ground improvement solutions are unviable or too costly - the Tensar Stratum Cellular Foundation Mattress System provides an alternative approach for construction, often delivering time and cost savings. With TensarTech Stratum, there is usually no need for excavation and removal of subsoil as the cellular foundation mattress is constructed directly over the weak soil and filled with granular material to create a competent mattress system. Components used to fabricate the TensarTech Stratum system include transverse geogrid diaphragms, diagonal geogrid diaphragms, base geogrid and ancillary items The Tensar Stratum Cellular Foundation Mattress System can provide initial construction access onto soft sites and is rapid to assemble, keeping your project moving quickly. Once filled with granular material, it acts as a stiff platform that provides a stiffened foundation with even and controlled settlement.  Used when new embankments are sited over weak and variable ground, including waste deposits and brownfield sites. There is usually no need for excavation and removal of the subsoil as the cellular foundation mattress is constructed directly over the weak soil and filled with granular material to create a stiff raft foundation.
