STEELROOTS®   –   concreteless foundations

With the right foundation to the success of a 2,700 square meter lightweight hall

With the right foundation to the success of a 2,700 square meter lightweight hall

Optimal load-bearing capacity, high economic efficiency and quick implementation: for the new construction of a 2,700 square meter lightweight hall in the so called "Lüneburger Heide", the foundation on STEEL-ROOT® from BFtec proved to be a decisive structural solution with great cost and time savings for those involved.

STEEL-ROOT®
Concreteless Foundations

STEEL-ROOT® are revolutionary, concreteless foundations. It is a foundation system with multiple application areas. Let's take, for example, masts for infrastructure measures (5G), lighting, radio, telecommunication, video cameras, renewable energy but also steel halls, noise barriers, signing gantries and much more. In the past, these systems were usually built on a concrete foundation — which is very time and resource consuming. STEEL-ROOT® are much faster and easier to handle.

How do STEEL-ROOT® work?

work?

But how exactly do the STEEL-ROOT® work and what makes them so sustainable?

Nature is the greatest master builder. STEEL-ROOT® make use of the root principle. They consist of galvanised steel struts, which absorb the loads from the centre of the mast in various directions and transfer them to the surrounding soil by means of pressure on the one hand and lifting ballast on the other. The STEEL-ROOT® even work in difficult subsoil conditions and in less load-bearing soils.

How are
STEEL-ROOT®
installed?

The STEEL-ROOT® installation method is very efficient and conserves resources. STEEL-ROOT® are simply placed in an excavation pit, which is then backfilled and compacted layer by layer with the previously excavated soil of the excavation pit. Only the very top part of the STEEL-ROOT® protrudes from the ground, on which the respective structure is mounted. Work can continue immediately afterwards and there is no need to dispose of any soil. This makes our STEEL-ROOT® an extremely efficient and economical foundation method.

Where can STEEL-ROOT® be used?

Where can
STEEL-ROOT®
be used?

STEEL-ROOT® are versatile. They can be used – for example – for the foundation of camera masts, floodlight masts, cell/radio masts (5G) as well as lightning protection masts. But not only there, noise barriers, steel halls, signing gantries, power poles and much more. Another advantage: our STEEL-ROOT® can be individually customized to your project.

If STEEL-ROOT® are no longer needed for an application, they can easily be dismantled and re-installed elsewhere. STEEL-ROOT® are 100% recyclable.

  • Optimal load-bearing capacity, high economic efficiency and quick implementation: for the new construction of a 2,700 square meter lightweight hall in the so called "Lüneburger Heide", the foundation on STEEL-ROOT® from BFtec proved to be a decisive structural solution with great cost and time savings for those involved.

  • The magic of Christmas – the most beautiful season of the year arrived in the Ingolstadt Village outlet center at the beginning of November. The whole mall is festively decorated. Fir trees, reindeer and reindeer sleighs accompany visitors on their shopping tour through the individual outlet stores.

  • Tiny Houses, small houses with an area of ​​less than 25 square meters, are very popular. The reasons for this downsizing are as different as their residents themselves — for some it is an economic necessity, for others it is deliberate reduction to the essentials and for others a maximum of flexibility, as the tiny houses can be implemented without great effort. But even the smallest houses should be on safe ground: a classic case for STEEL-ROOT® from BFtec. No other foundation system comes closer to the idea of ​​tiny houses than the foundations from Nentershausen, Germany.
