The diaphragm wall process is a global solution to problems encountered by clients Soletanche Bachy's commitment to in city centres: small building site areas, sites with noise restrictions, traffic restrictions, new excavation processes has led to protection of nearby buildings, use of environmentally - friendly products. tremendous progress. It enables: · correction of deviation of the excavation, · accumulation of recorded information to optimise efficiency and assist automa- tic machine control, · real-time, automatic print-outs of full reports on all operational data (verticality, excavation rate, depth, soil profile, obstructions, etc.).

Grouting Monitoring and control

Grouting is a range of processes for soil mainly in the following two areas: treatment that uses slurries to improve · The non-contaminating, long lasting A the soil resistance or the soil permeability. and highly penetrable grout. specific · Electronics and computer technology control system Soletanche Bachy applies major innova- applied at every stage, thus offering developed by Soletanche tions to the standard grouting processes, technical precision and transparency. Bachy allows real-time and precise monitoring of pressure, volumes and rates of the grouting, in order to place the grout exactly where it is required.

When underground works are located nearby existing buildings and structures, compensation grouting must be used to guarantee optimal safety .

The grouting control system has been extended for this purpose by Soletanche Bachy to integrate in a closed loop the real-time monitoring of soil movements offered by Geoscope system (SolData) the automatic control of grouting plants together with the anticipation of settlements.
