Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing a series of case studies showing how hashtag#biocementation addresses complex hashtag#geotechnical and hashtag#geoenvironmental challenges. We begin in 🇨🇭Switzerland, with a demanding intervention beneath a 🏰historic masonry wall located on a steep slope within a 💧🌱groundwater protection zone S3. The objective: stabilize weathered sandstone and mitigate differential settlements beneath a patrimonial structure — while meeting strict environmental and structural constraints.

Our low-viscosity, biocementation solution was designed to consolidate the weathered rock mass down to the healthy rock layer where groundwater naturally drains.
👷Monitoring combined complementary techniques:
• Photogrammetry
• Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
• Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT)
Results confirmed effective consolidation of the weathered rock mass, without structural movement and with full compatibility with the protected groundwater environment.

✅Why biocementation delivered hashtag#value:
• Zero vibrations — hashtag#safe for heritage structures
• Very hashtag#low hashtag#viscosity — penetration into fractured and weathered formations following natural groundwater flow paths
• Controlled treatment in complex hashtag#stratigraphy
• hashtag#Compatible with strict groundwater protection regulations

More case studies across a range of geologies and geographies will follow soon. Stay tuned.
