Building Foundations
Building foundations are one of the most critical components for ensuring the safety and longevity of structures. Preventing adverse effects such as water infiltration, moisture, and structural movements from the ground is possible with a durable and secure foundation system. Geosynthetic materials enhance the stability of foundation systems, increasing the safety and lifespan of buildings.
Geosynthetic Products Used and Their Functions:
- Geomembrane: Provides water and moisture impermeability, preventing foundation contact with water.
- Geotextile: Ensures filtration and drainage, offers mechanical protection, and regulates ground movements.
- Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL): Provides additional sealing and prevents water from reaching the building foundation.
- Efficient Use of Energy and Resources: Promotes sustainable use of natural resources by enhancing energy efficiency. Continuous improvement efforts are carried out to reduce water and energy consumption.
- Water-Blocking Sealing Tapes: Prevents water leakage at structural joints, ensuring the continuity of insulation.
- Drainage Board: Effectively discharges water around the foundation, preventing moisture damage.
The proper and integrated use of these geosynthetic materials ensures that building foundations are protected from water and moisture, enhances structural durability, and creates a long-lasting foundation system.
The selection of products and application methods depends on the technical requirements of the project and site conditions.
