Cormix provides a range of advanced soil conditioning foams and polymers engineered to optimize the behavior of soft and cohesive soils during mechanized tunnelling. These conditioning agents improve soil plasticity, reduce friction, enhance flowability, and stabilize the tunnel face, ensuring safer and more efficient TBM–EPB operations.
The foams reduce cutterhead torque, lower wear, minimize clogging, and promote controlled muck flow through the screw conveyor. Polymers improve soil lubrication, binding capacity, and water retention, enabling effective tunnelling even in high-water-content or highly cohesive ground conditions.
Designed for compatibility with various TBM systems, Cormix soil conditioning products help increase excavation efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and ensure smoother, cleaner, and more predictable tunnelling performance.
