Biocementation in Clayey Soils: A Major Breakthrough Against Erosion

"56 kilometers of dikes threatened in southern France due to the intensification of storm surges."

With extreme weather conditions and rising sea levels, stabilizing earth structures has become a crucial challenge. At Medusoil, we have developed an innovative solution that enhances the resistance of clayey soils against erosion.

Proven Results in the Field

🔹 30 tons of biocemented dikes have demonstrated their effectiveness in extreme conditions.
🔹 +0.5 m sea level rise, +2 m storm waves, 100 km/h winds: our solutions remain strong where conventional clay materials weaken.
🔹 Only 5% soil mass loss after prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions.

📌 Testing Period: July 2024 – February 2025

📌 Where? France and the Netherlands

A High-Performance and Sustainable Technology

Our solutions rely on an innovative dual mechanism:

🧪 Mineralization & Polymerization: These processes create strong bonds within the soil while reducing carbon emissions.

🌍 55% CO₂ reduction compared to traditional techniques.

💧 Environmentally friendly: Our methods preserve natural ecosystems and groundwater.

Applications and Benefits

Our technology is suitable for various infrastructure needs:

✔️ Recycling of demolition waste
✔️ Improving soil load-bearing capacity
✔️ Mitigating soil desiccation and erosion
✔️ Stabilizing slopes and embankments

With this breakthrough, we are now extending our interventions to larger dikes and embankments, covering a variety of geological conditions. A step forward toward more resilient and sustainable infrastructures.
