Consolidation and Waterproofing

Soluble silicates have been successfully used for soil stabilization and water control during excavations and tunneling projects, as well as in other geotechnical applications, for over 50 years.

Silicate mixtures offer several advantages.

• Proven performance
• Safety and ease of use
• Environmental reliability
• Adaptability to a wide range of applications

The consolidation process is based on the formation of a sodium silicate gel and an appropriate reagent that aggregates soil particles, which need to support heavy loads or are permeable to water, in tunnel openings, galleries, foundations, seals against underground infiltration, and road construction.

Prochin Italia provides all the components for silicate-based mixtures.
