Arguments and Facts on Environmental Safety Technologies Grandtek

We often ask about the nature of their materials; In particular, it is a class of heavy geotechnical polymers. Some of these questions are associated with a long-term contact of the environment with a polymer after injection into the ground and, more specifically, with its environmental impact. For a 40 year history of the use of a polymer in order to stabilize and enhance the soil, extensive tests, assessments and research were carried out. Here is some information collected by us on this minimally invasive solution, which meets all international standards.

Effects on drinking water: Products Граундтек are certified for compliance with the requirements of food standards and drinking water.These standards that establish requirements for the impact on the human health of materials, components, products or systems in contact with drinking water, chemicals for cleaning drinking water or with the other.In general terms, materials Граундтек can be used even when contacting drinking water in particular in Europe, USA and Australia.

The hydro-insensitive polymer is specifically designed in such a way that it is not mixed with external fluids during injection, curing and final use. The polymer actually displaces the water from the pores in the ground and is not limited to the conditions of humidity during or after work. After completion of the curing process, the polymer significantly slows down further infiltration of water. In 2012, Bayer Material Science tested the influence of Граундтек polymers on a pH-water indicator, a common organic carbon (TOC) and a volatile organic compound (VOC) of water. The data were collected after the formation of "approximately 235 grams" of the polymer and observation of the reaction "approximately 7,500 grams of water". The final analysis showed that the content of TOS in water was approximately 9000 mg / kg of foam. However, none of the indicators recorded during the study were not higher than the boundary limits. RN has changed only slightly: from 6.75 to 6.61.

The polymer itself is extremely lightweight, weighing less than 5% of the weight of a similar cement mortar.Thus, the polymer adds only a minimum amount of mass into the design zone, which already has problems with the mechanical characteristics of the base.

A safe and cured polymer is chemically inert, ecologically neutral and does not contribute to the contamination of soil or groundwater, leaching or environmental pollution.

Mold, mushrooms and termites.Material impenetrable for mold, mushrooms and termites.In the test, conducted more than 10 years ago, the DuPont Freon® Products division and documented in their article called "Hard Polymer Properties", sections (panels) of a pine board, having rods from polymers, were buried to the ground half of their length.None on polymer rods, nor on pine boards, no signs of a term attack were found in a year.

Stability of the state of earthworks. Polymers Граундтек are used to extend and increase the service life of existing buildings and structures, thereby reducing the potential carbon footprint. The extension of the service life of our human infrastructure eliminates traditional methods of dismantling and replacement, thereby reducing the demand for waste polygons and reducing the demand for concrete and other building materials necessary for reconstruction (read new construction). The method of stabilizing the soils of the base Граундтек also avoids large earthworks and any potential hazards for the local environment.

Methods and processes.All Граундтек employees are concerned about environmental protection, both personal and organizational point of view.The Граундтек command operates, more efficient technique, which uses more efficient pumping equipment, low emission generators and power tools.Thanks to the factor of experience Граундтек, our operators successfully complete projects, avoiding downtime, burning less fuel and minimize unnecessary requirements for our precious natural resources.
