RTF technology by RootСoreDee
Root-Type Foundation (RTF) is a modular block made of high-strength hydrophilic fiber-reinforced concrete and galvanized anchor rods, which are inclined and anchored into undisturbed soil.
This design:
• provides maximum stability, similar to a tree’s root system,
• compensates for frost heaving,
• is easy to dismantle and reinstall.

Root-Type Foundation Components
- Сonnector (optional). Type: anchor for mounting wooden columns/beams
- Plug
- High-quality concrete with additives
- Cap
- Pin length - 0.5; 1; 1.5 meters galvanized pipe
- Plastic tip
The plastic tip is manufactured with a hardness that takes into account its destruction when it hits a stone, which allows the end of the pipe to be protected from crushing and defects, so that it is possible to easily pull the pipe back through the concrete block and, by turning the block on its axis, reinstall the "RootCoreDee" bypassing the stone.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the configuration and selection of materials.
How RTF Rootcoredee Works in practice
The RTF system is based on the principle of root fixation.
The system transfers the load borne by the concrete block, evenly distributing it across four galvanized pipes installed into the undisturbed, naturally dense soil. This mobilizes the entire volume of the underlying truncated cone of soil.
When loaded, the studs wedge apart within the concrete block, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the structure. This concept efficiently utilizes the principles of root systems by creating an engineered network of inclined pipe-rods. These rods effectively distribute and transfer loads to the foundation soil, providing maximum resistance to overturning.

PURPOSE OF TIPS
The RTF system by Rootcoredee is based on the principle of root fixation
The tips for the RTF system are manufactured in-house from hydro-fiber-reinforced concrete and undergo strict quality control.
These tips protect the end of the stud from deformation upon impact with rocks. This prevents the pipe end from being crushed or damaged, which in turn allows for the pipe to be easily extracted back through the concrete block. After extraction, the block can be rotated on its axis, and the RTF system can be reinstalled in a new position to bypass the rock obstructing the initial installation.
The use of the tips also protects the internal cavity of the pipe from soil ingress and ensures easy access for verifying the driving depth of the studs using a simple measuring tape.
