With the rising water table and
excessive rain in some areas the need
for waterproofing of below ground
chambers and structures became necessary
from silo and building owners. With the
thorough study and testing of a wide
range of products, a product for sealing
off groundwater was successfully found.
The same products are being used in the
Mining Industry for almost forty years.
With the assistance from the Product
Supplier, Delmos personnel were trained
in the correct working procedures. The
Supplier also assists Delmos in choosing
the right products for the correct
application
To seal off groundwater seepage through
underground chambers and tunnels, the
product in grout form is pumped at high
pressure through predrilled holes to the
outside of the walls.
The product then reacts chemically with
the groundwater on the outside to become
a flexible, impermeable foam with
excellent adhesion to concrete and
surrounding rock or gravel, sealing off
the flow of water into the structure.
