The BluCem ZeoGlass formulation includes the use of two, non-traditional concrete materials; Calcium and silica. These supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) not only reduce our environmental impact, but the SCMs also improve the durability of the structural sewer liner. Calcium: Conventional geopolymer concretes will not activate in the presence of Calcium ions, yet Calcium is […]

Basement Waterproofing, An Art in Protection – Daniel Bosco
Posted in Civil Engineering Tips
As civil engineers, we at Bluey have seen the issues caused by poorly constructed basements in residential settings first-hand and believe that it is a problem that needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later. Traditionally, basements haven’t been built far below the water table which means there hasn’t been a great need for […]
Ensuring TBM Compression Gaskets Resist Natural Groundwater Pressure
Until recently, terminating cross-passage membranes to TBM segments had been one of the unsolved mysteries of tunnelling. Thanks to recent innovations in gaskets and pressure terminations, all hydrostatic forces can be resisted to ensure they meet the ‘no damp patches’ specification. The most challenging part of any cross-passage termination is ensuring the membrane connects and […]
