The principle underlying the Bamboo-Geotextile Composite System creates large inexpensive surface area to spread & distribute load applied and thus minimize stress impose on underlained soft subgrade and resulted in reduction of settlement that might produce by the magnitude of stress applied. Capitalize on buoyancy effect afforded by light bamboo culms (SG = 0.7-0.8) used in the buoyant system. This further minimizes load applied and consequently resulted in stress minimization and consequently the amount of settlements that might develop in the soft subgrade. The Bamboo-geotextile buoyant system devised has allowed heavy constructions to be built directly atop soft subsoil while relying very little on the strength of the in-situ soft soil for support, a design notion which is vastly different from most, if not all, Ground Improvement methods which often rely on improving the physical properties & strength of soft subgrade that via, say, the consolidation process.
CH Tech Global has become a leading Value-added Technologies Provider having the added advantage of a 1-stop Centre capable of designing, supervising as well as the implementation.
