Presented by Garrett Fountain, P.E., G.E. and Dr. Andrew Lees, Ceng, MI CE
When faced with soft foundation soils where expensive piling and other deep ground improvement solutions a re not viable or too costly, the Tensar Stratumâ„¢ Foundation System provides an alternative approach for construction, often delivering time and cost s avings. Used when new embankments and/or heavy loads are sited over weak an d variable ground, including waste deposits and brownfield sites, the Tensa r Stratum System creates a stiff foundation platform that reduces the poten tial for differential settlement and can increase bearing capacity. This we binar will review the engineering principles behind the Stratum System and examination the successful use of Stratum on the Robroyston embankment proj ect.
