Laboratory Soil Conditioning

Laboratory Soil Conditioning

The right ground conditioning is essential to obtain high performance TBM excavation and to keep ground settlement under control. 

The individuation of the right type of foam and polymer are the keys to achieve the optimum plasticity and homogeneity of soil, preventing any unwanted segregation of water or bigger particles (gravel, stone) in the excavation chamber and keeping clay adhesion under control.

For a proper choice of the product, we conduct preliminary soil conditioning tests in our full equipped laboratory.
