What is Ground Water Freezing (SoilFreeze) ?

Ground Water Freezing (SoilFreeze) technology have been developed in recent years  to stabilize the watery formation in the Foundation fields.

The traditional technique to use while ensuring stabilization in the ground is often appears as; feding (injecting) the cement grout into the ground.



However, where the injection in aqueous floor is unsuccessful, Ground Freezing (SoilFreeze) is used as an extremely useful and reliable technique. Frozen soil is 100% waterproof, there would be no leakage and frozen soil hardness is comparable to concrete. Therefore, the desired stabilized earthwork is done safely with ground freezing.

Ground Freezing

The main principle of Ground Freezing (SoilFreeze) is to make the water in the ground solid. The ground freezes when the degree is below zero. With regular intervals in the ground (depending on the project), steel pipes are inserted into boreholes and coolant chemicals like CaCl or MgCl are poured in and the known method of freezing accurs. This old-style method of setting freezing time on the ground is around 20-30 days while the World chemical giants Ground Freezing (SoilFreeze)  Techniques suggest that they pack systems and techniques for ground freezing period reduced to 1 week. After the application is concluded, it takes a slow 1 week for the ground to restore back to how it was.

Special design techniques were designed to eliminate harming the environment, especially in the current botanical history tree while freezing the ground.

We included a Ground Freezing (SoilFreeze)  Project video at the end of our article to support the statement. This Project is -Italian Ground Applications a success story of using the Ground Freezing technology while working on the Rome Metro Project.

Ground Freezing or aka water freezing technology application has been used in the mining and tunnel application fields before foundation fields. Currently, the US, Britain, Germany and Russia also continues to use it extensively in the mining sector.

Last word; Although so far this application has never been used in Turkey, Ground Freezing Water System ground and aquifers (water movers) tried to do in order to secure the excavations, is one of the best economic method. Emerging technologies and Chemistry  factories start to offer lease Ground Freezing chemical systems is an indicator that the application may come to Turkey in near future.If you want to know more please contact to Erke Group.
