Saving on Substructure
The innovative idea of the TTE® construction element is to replace the base course layer material by an intelligent load distribution system and, in this way, to combine the covering and base course layer into one system.
The deformation and pressure resistant TTE® elements deliver high distribution of loads over an area based on their large contact surface as well as the interlocking and/or force-fitting nature of the individual elements. Changes in the load bearing capacity of the substrate are strongly reduced, whereby the base course layer material needed is reduced considerably, and in some cases can be replaced completely. At the same time the tolerable contact pressure for the ground is not exceeded through loading from vehicle traffic and also post-compacting is prevented.
