SYNTHETIC BUILDING MATERIALS OPEN NEW POSSIBILITIES IN TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION

KUNSTSTOFFVERBUNDBAU ERSCHLIESST NEUE MOEGLICHKEITEN IM TUNNELBAU

Instead of having concrete reinforced with a layer of meshwork, synthetic resins are used to preserve rock layers: pins and reinforcements are made of synthetic resin. The tunnel lining is made of glass-fibre reinforced epoxy resin. Official tests were carried out on these materials in Stuttgart and in Vienna. They have been patented in Europe and in the western world.
