Foundation: innovative dry foundations for sustainable structures

Dry foundations: the modern solution for construction

Metallurgica Ledrense's Ledrosteel Foundation dry foundations are an innovation in the field of construction, designed to ensure stability and sustainability.

Made with electrowelded mesh gabions, these foundations eliminate the use of concrete, reducing environmental impact and speeding up the time required for installation and eventual removal. Ideal for buildings made of wood, thatch or similar materials, they offer a durable and versatile solution that blends seamlessly into urban or natural settings.

History and applications of dry foundations

The Foundation project is the result of a collaboration between Metallurgica Ledrense and DICAM of the University of Trento, DII of the University of Trento and CNR-IBE of San Michele all'Adige, with the aim of revolutionizing the traditional approach to foundations. This innovative system was developed to meet the needs of a building industry increasingly oriented toward sustainability, prefabrication and efficiency.

In addition to residential settings, dry foundations find application in contexts that require rapid intervention or where the use of concrete is not feasible, such as emergency sums, mobile homes, prefabricated containers for service environments at large construction sites, archaeological sites or in areas subject to environmental constraints. In addition, their versatility makes them perfect for projects that require lightweight yet durable solutions while providing high living comfort, cancelled capillary rise, and minimal impact on the environment.

An innovative construction system that combines industrial precision and craftsmanship to ensure sustainability, energy efficiency and tailored design. Ideal for projects that require speed of execution, quality materials and design flexibility.
