At Medusoil, innovation and impact continue to drive our mission, and this past quarter was no exception. From forging new partnerships to advancing our bio-cementation technologies, Q1 was full […]
Why “Bio” in Biocementation Through Our New Product Milestone
Biocementation combines biology and engineering. At Medusoil, we apply a biocementation microbial process where ammonia-fed microorganisms trigger mineral precipitation, forming organic binders that stabilize soils sustainably. You may know the world depends on four essential materials: steel, concrete, plastic, and ammonia (source: TIME Magazine). While the first three dominate the construction industry, the fourth : […]
Medusoil Secures CHF 1.2M to Industrialize Biocementation
Lausanne, Switzerland – Medusoil Biominerals™ has received CHF 1.2 million in funding from the Swiss Federal Agency for Innovation (Innosuisse) for its project “Biopetrification.” The grant supports Medusoil’s plan to scale up biocementation and push the construction sector closer to net-zero. A Natural Alternative to Cement Medusoil’s process uses patented microbial strains to trigger […]
Biomineralization for Slope Stabilization: Swiss Railways Case
In a pilot project near a Swiss Railways platform in Fribourg, MeduSoil applied its biomineralization technology to stabilize an eroding sandstone slope. The objective was to naturally strengthen the rock matrix through controlled calcification using minimally invasive injection and spraying methods. The Solution: Biomineralization in Two Steps Subsurface Injection: 17 mm-diameter drills were used to […]
Our 2022 highlights in numbers
Projects Our team delivered 24.000L of its flagship, biocementation grout agent and served geotechnical, special foundations and geo-environmental projects in the cantons of Zurich, Fribourg, Bern, Geneva and Vaud (Switzerland), as well as in Vienna, Austria. We helped contractors improve ground properties to safeguard critical infrastructure, among which cohesion, friction angle, compressive and shear strengths. […]
