By Staff Report | December 26, 2024 5:33 pm SHARE
TechFab India transforms infrastructure with durable, eco-friendly reinforced soil structures and cutting-edge geosynthetics, helping engineers handle issues with unparalleled efficiency and sustainability.
TechFab India (TFI) was founded in 2003 to provide world-class geosynthetic and geohazard mitigation products and services that allow owners, consultants, and contractors to design and implement dependable, cost-effective, and simple solutions to a wide range of geotechnical, transportation, hydraulic, and environmental issues.
TechFab India launched operations, with headquarters in Mumbai, a design office in Vadodara, and sales offices in Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Guwahati, Dehradun, and New Delhi. Their production plants are at Silvassa, Daman, Bhopal, and Haridwar.
Their manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001:2015 certified, and their goods are BIS-approved and CE-certified by SKZ Germany. All of their manufacturing plants have fully equipped labs for quality assurance testing.
They have an established track record of supplying our customers with diverse, high-quality products and technical services, allowing them to take on tough projects while meeting performance, cost, and time objectives.
Can you explain the key benefits of using reinforced soil structures (RSS) in infrastructure projects, especially in terms of cost-efficiency and durability?
RSS are always more cost-effective than conventional solutions, and designs are carried out for more than 100 years of service life, as per the globally accepted design guidelines. These structures are inherently more flexible than the conventional rigid solutions, hence performs well even on weak foundations.
What specific geosynthetic materials does TechFab India use in RSS applications, and how do these materials enhance the structural performance?
TechFab India has a wide range of indigenously manufactured products used for RSS applications. There are Geogrid, Geostrap, Drainage Composite, Geocell, Nonwoven Geotextile, and own systems to offer for RSS applications. With a wide range of product portfolios, Techfab India can offer various facing and reinforcement system options that suit the site conditions, and their rigorous testing ensures safety parameters for long-term performance.
Can you discuss the design considerations TechFab India employs for RSS in projects located in high seismic zones or regions prone to landslides?
TechFab India is well equipped with all the advance tools, software, and own design spreadsheets created by a highly experienced and qualified technical team, ensuring proven technical assistance throughout the project. TechFab India has already provided their services for many structures in high seismic zones, in zone-V also. For landslide mitigation projects, TechFab India has an exclusive, team of technical persons to assist, with the own manufacturing facility of all the products for Geohazard applications.
How has the TechRhombus High Tensile Rope Net System, which recently received ETA certification, improved the safety and reliability of projects in hazard-prone areas?
TechFab India believes in quality products to manufacture with globally acceptable standards. ETA certification is one of the feathers in the cap for QA/QC requirements. To market the TechRhombus High TensileRope Net System, in advanced countries ETA certification is must, which ensures a product that delivers quality consistently, which ensures improved performance and safety for hazard-prone areas.
Geosynthetics are increasingly used in sectors like highways, railways, ports, and airports. What are some unique advantages of geosynthetics in these critical sectors compared to traditional materials?
Geosynthetics are well established products in all major sectors due to their capabilities to deliver the more efficient solutions in cost effective manner. There are certain solutions which are only possible with the use of geosynthetics, such as deep soil consolidation with PVD, landslide mitigation solution, for 100 plus meters height etc.. With the use of Geosynthetics we are also saving on carbon emissions as its solutions reduced the use of conventional materials and replaced fully in some drainage applications.
How does TechFab India integrate environmental sustainability into RSS projects, particularly in terms of material selection and resource conservation? Can you elaborate on the role of recycled materials in your RSS solutions, and what are the future trends in eco-friendly geosynthetics?
Sustainability is the need of ERA and TechFab is committed to delivering their part to society. At TechFab India, they have already got the EPD certification, for their products for RSS applications. These certifications have been awarded after evaluating the reduction in carbon emissions by adopting Geosynthetic sotuion to that of conventional, with the help of tools designed for such evaluation. In due course when one by one all products comes under EPD certification, total solution using all the Geosynthetic products, will have been a benchmark for the eco-friendly solutions.
TechFab India recently launched the TFI Mobile App and TFI Design Tools to assist engineers in designing efficient geosynthetic solutions. Can you explain how these tools are transforming project planning and execution in real-time?
TechFab India is manufacturing almost all kinds of Geosynthetic and Grohazard products and extending their full support, by their Technical team. With the help of a mobile app, one can have an idea of products and their probable application areas. They can also send their query to get guidance on product selection and further assistance, if any. Design tools are provided to have an idea for preliminary cost estimates on shelves and for detailed designs they can refer to Technical team. All the tools and services offered by TechFab India are to deliver quick and proven solutions to their esteemed clients.
