Load Transfer Platforms 5 When minimal settlement can be tolerated, embankment foundations are often piled to provide a firm support. Basetex can be designed to reinforce fill and create a Load Transfer Platform to span and distribute embankment loads onto the piles or vibro concrete columns which bear on firmer strata below. This avoids the cost of a concrete raft or ground beams. Contact Tensar International or your local distributor to receive further literature covering Tensar products and applications. Also available on request are product specifications, installation guides and specification notes.
