Make Sense of Mixed Ground

Machine selection can make or break a trenchless job, and one of the deciding factors is project geology. Which machines work best in different ground conditions and why? What should be done in known mixed ground or if the ground changes?

Learn more at our webinar, which will discuss trenchless solutions for projects over 24 inches in diameter based on a wide variety of geologic conditions. Recent case studies and machine performances will also be examined from projects around the world.

Soil Conditioning Solutions for TBM Excavation

TBM excavation has to successfully manage a variety of geological conditions. Since soil behavior is never perfect, soil conditioning additives are introduced in front of the cutter head to change the natural rheological characteristics in order to maintain optimal advance rates and/or stability to minimize or prevent ground movement on the surface.

This webinar will discuss these various ground conditioning agents and how they are used to aid in a successful excavation with respect to optimized advance rates and safety. BASF Construction Chemicals has worldwide experience in the proper design and execution of many soil conditioning programs and this webinar will cover such topics as:

  • Changing the soil properties
  • Torque and wear reduction at the cutter head
  • Changing the soil permeability
  • Benefit of anti-clay-agents
  • Wear reduction on hard rock TBMs
