Best Tunnel Waterproffing Company in Mumbai, India

Introduction:

When it comes to waterproofing, tunnel waterproofing is one of the most demanding and challenging sectors of the tunneling industry. Due to the soil and groundwater conditions, it is critical that the structure is protected from groundwater infiltration and that a suitable site-specific waterproofing system is selected for the structure. There are different types of tunnel waterproofing systems available depending on the requirement of the site.  Liquid waterproofing system, Panel waterproofing system, Membrane waterproofing system, Sheet membranes waterproofing systems, Epoxy liner waterproofing system, Spray-on waterproofing membrane system, Cementitious waterproofing system, and Hybrid waterproofing system are a few options that use various coating applications or creation of membranes that waterproof the structure.

Problem / What is at stake?

The main criteria for selecting any waterproofing system are hydrology concepts (eg. environmentally sensitive area, permanent water table, the degree of water tightness required, drained or undrained concept, the height of water pressure, the impacts and conditions during construction, seasons, fire and workmanship, safety standards during construction, the kind of chemicals in groundwater, their concentrations and their possible influences on chosen materials. In addition to this, a significant aspect is a material behavior on aging or durability in surrounding conditions in view of its total cost over service life including the cost of maintenance.

In order to understand the applications of tunnel waterproofing, it is necessary to have knowledge of the principles of waterproofing below-ground structures. A correct selection of waterproofing systems for any particular site should have the following items forits satisfactory working:

  • Type of structure
  • Type of construction (bored, cut-and-cover, etc.)
  • Depth of burial of structure (lowest elevation of structure)
  • Maximum elevation of groundwater (after construction)
  • Environmental conditions at the site (including Ph, hydrocarbons, and chemicals)
  • Ease of installation
  • Track record (successes and failures of the system)
  • Maintenance
