Iceland, Isafjdur
Injection of water bearing strata during tunnel driving
Step 1: Boring and setting of the injection
systems
Step 2: Injection of PU resin and closing
of cracks and fissures
Step 3: Drill through the resin zone and
setting of the injection system for
cement suspension
Step 4: Injection of cement suspension
Step 5: Cut cross the area supported with
injections
