What is the Tellus Advantage?
Reduced construction schedules - Tellus superstructures and individual components are manufactured off-site while the building is in for permit allowing for speed of vertical construction and reduced construction schedules.
Fewer building inspections - Compared to traditional CMU block construction, Tellus eliminates 5 building inspections.
Smaller foundations & structural requirements - Tellus components are 40% lighter than traditional tilt-up, precast, and CMU block construction reducing foundation and structural system requirements.
Smaller cranes - Typical Tellus wall panels can be erected with a 70 ton hydro crane at $200/hr. port-to-port, compared to traditional tilt-up and precastthat require a 250 ton plus crane at a cost of $3,000-$5,000/day and a minimum of $18,000 in/out mobilization charge.
Eliminates water leaks - Tellus wall panels come standard with finished window and door punched openings that have monolithic returns which eliminates the need for wood bucks which are a major cause of water leaks.
