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 : […]

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 […]
