Foundation

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.


Tele Textiles offers solutions to build shallow foundations with FlexiTex® and TeleBag®. The main advantage of using such woven geotextiles is that they remove the need for traditional 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.

FlexiTex©

FlexiTex® is a textile shuttering for use at the water-side and underwater concrete work.


There has been a significant increase in the use of textile shuttering in concrete work, particularly at the water-side and underwater projects. The most important reason for this increased interest has been the introduction of woven fabrics made of high-strength multifilament synthetic fibre.

Coupled with simplified installation working procedures, this results in reduced working times and attractive cost saving.

TeleBag©

TeleBag® is a product family of various types of bags produced from high tenacity textiles.


The bags are available in different dimensions depending on a customer’s needs. One important advantage of TeleBag® is the possibility of using filling material (eg sand or gravel) found on site. The main applications are:
• Flood control and protection
• Reinforcing existing dikes/shoreline structures
• Erosion control
• Storage of contaminated sediments
