Building Foundations

There are many tensile building foundation options available for use with tensioned fabric buildings, and cost is always a factor when making a decision. Whatever your structure needs are, the first consideration in determining the right kind of foundation is whether your structure is temporary, relocatable or permanent. Generally speaking, temporary foundations will be less expensive but will limit the size of buildings they will support, and will also not last as long as permanent foundations.

Tensile Building Foundations Expertise

Toro design engineers will advise on the best solution for your project. The foundation really is the core structural component of any build and it must be correctly installed by professionals.

Temporary foundations do not normally require heavy machinery or a large workforce to install. Skilled Toro installation engineers with the correct tools can prepare a temporary foundation rapidly. Temporary and relocatable fabric structure foundations, which most of the time do not require a sub floor, work well for smaller, lighter weight structures.

Permanent foundations are a common choice because they feature a solid, durable floor as part of the foundation and are well suited for sand and salt storage buildings, biomass storage buildings, water treatment plants, waste and recycling facilities, sports facilities and some aviation buildings. All foundations installed by Toro are approved by a local foundation engineer to ensure that they are designed to accommodate the design load requirements for the site.
