The use of a spiked membrane as a footplate provides several advantages and improvements in the foundation construction process.
Here are the main steps and benefits of this method:
Advantages of using a spiked membrane in concrete preparation:
- Elimination of waiting periods for concrete hardening: After laying the membrane, you can immediately start laying reinforcement and pouring concrete, without waiting for the previous layer to fully harden.
- Cost savings: The use of a spiked membrane reduces the need to order special equipment, machines and the concrete mixes themselves. This can lead to time and money savings.
- Blocking the migration of concrete milk: The membrane prevents the flow of concrete milk into the sand preparation, ensuring a more uniform distribution of concrete.
- Additional protection of the foundation from moisture: The spike-shaped membrane creates an additional barrier, preventing moisture penetration and providing additional protection for the foundation.
- The ability to work regardless of the weather: Since concrete cannot be poured in heat, rain or at sub-zero temperatures, the use of a membrane allows work to be carried out in all weather conditions.
The technology of laying the footboard with a spiked membrane:
- Soil preparation: Provide a solid, well-compacted base, leveling the soil.
- Laying the membrane: Roll out the membrane rolls over the entire surface with the spikes up, connecting them with each other in an overlap of 10 cm. Glue the overlap seams with butyl rubber tape.
- Continuation of work: After laying the membrane, you can proceed to the next stages of construction, such as the installation of the reinforcement frame and the pouring of the foundation plate.
The use of profiled spiked membranes SNTDRAINE is a modern and effective solution to ensure the strength and durability of foundation structures.
