Providing a Solid Foundation for all soil types
In Central America there are many cenotes, or underground caves or sinkholes, occuring from the collapse of limestone bedrock.
In order to prevent the risk of foundations subsiding, Best EnviroHomes uses prestressed concrete piles to support the homes built where there is risk of subsiding soil or cenotes, which are common in Central America. This type of pile based foundation requires much less amount of concrete than a floating or slab poured foundation, and also is the least impact on the environment and water flow.
No matter the type of soil, piles can be used to provide more structural strength to the weak soil underneath, establishing a solid foundation for your home. Of course they involve more expense, so Best Envirohomes also has another alternative, horizontal piles, or horizontal TUFF+ beams which work well in locations with stable soil.
Strength to resist hurricane damage.
Prestressed concrete is the foundational basis of most high rise structures, consisting of high tensile steel wire tensioned in place before pouring concrete into the mould.
As a result they are water and salt proof, and so strong that they can sustain hurricane strength winds.
We also use the same foundational basis to meet stringent architectural requirements.
Reinforced Foundation frame
Once piles are driven into place, strong TUFF+ beams are interlocked between the piles, forming a foundation framework that is hurricane proof.
