Micro Tunnelling Bentonite
Micro Tunnelling Bentonite is a specially formulated bentonite product used in trenchless tunnelling and pipe jacking operations. It plays an important role in creating a stable excavation environment by forming a lubricating and supporting slurry around the tunnel face and pipeline.
In micro tunnelling projects, bentonite slurry helps reduce friction between the pipe and surrounding soil, making pipe jacking operations smoother and more efficient. It also assists in carrying excavated material away from the cutting head while helping maintain ground stability during the tunnelling process.
Micro Tunnelling Bentonite is commonly used in urban infrastructure projects where underground installations are required without extensive surface excavation. It is suitable for a variety of soil conditions and helps improve operational efficiency in long-distance tunnelling works.
