Innovative water management for underground constructions
Webinar - Online onlySummary Water ingress during underground construction has been known to cause structural instability, heightened maintenance costs, and pose an array of safety hazards. These hazards range from the seemingly minimal moisture damage to the more severe cracking. Traditionally, solutions such as grouting, drainage pipes, and repair injections have been employed. However, these methods are [...]
