CIVIL CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS

Slurry Walls | Water Retention | Pond Lining/Sealing | Drilled Shaft | Cement-Bentonite Grouting

Sodium Bentonite is the go-to solution for construction professionals seeking a reliable and cost-effective solution for their projects. Known for its superior sealing and bonding properties, it effectively prevents leaks and improves the overall stability of structures. Its natural absorbent qualities make it ideal for a range of applications, from foundation waterproofing to soil stabilization. And with its ability to withstand extreme conditions, Sodium Bentonite ensures that your construction projects are completed with confidence and longevity.

Applications using bentonite as a natural sealant include:

DMD is a trusted expert in delivering bentonites that comply with API 13A Section 9 and API 13A Section 10 specifications, along with specialized synthetic polymers and water conditioning solutions.

DMD elevates your project success by seamlessly integrating as a vital member of your team, expertly managing the delivery of our products and solutions.

Slurry Walls

A slurry wall is a civil engineering technique used to build reinforced concrete walls in areas of soft earth close to open water, or with a high groundwater table. This technique is typically used to build diaphragm walls surrounding tunnels and open cuts, and to lay foundations.

Cut Off Walls

Cutoff walls are used to exclude groundwater from an excavation, to minimize the requirement for dewatering pumping. Typically, the method involves installing a very low permeability physical cut-off wall or barrier around the perimeter of the excavation to prevent groundwater from entering the working area.

Pond Lining

Sodium bentonite is used to ensure pond beds don’t experience water leaks. In most cases, the bentonite is applied to the bottom of the pond before construction, or when retrofitting an existing pond, after it’s been drained and has dried. Bentonite is environmentally friendly. It is not toxic to aquatic life, humans, or other animals.

Drilled Shaft

As a flushing fluid, bentonite seals the drilled shaft from water ingress downwards and at the sides of the shaft. The mineral forms a firm sludge cake on the bore wall, which provides the borehole with additional stability.

Cement-Bentonite Grouting

Bentonite Granules are high swelling natural Sodium Bentonite that swells to approximately 15 times its size when it comes into contact with water. Therefore, it forms a semi solid, gel-like mass which is ideal for use in sealing and grouting well casings and earthen structures.
