Whichever tunneling method you use – Shotcrete or TBM methods – our full tunneling offering comprises innovative and proven-effective products for concrete and shotcrete (a wide range of admixtures, new generation accelerators, mould-release agents for precast and moving formworks, fibres for structural reinforcement and fire protection) and for filling grout (CHRYSO®TBM range).
Even when using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM), the performances of sprayed concrete (shotcrete) are essential to guarantee the safety of personnels during the excavation and the durability of the tunnel for decades. Over the years, Chryso has developed a large expertise regarding the mix design, the dedicated technologies and the technical support necessary to achieve optimal shotcrete performances throughout the project completion.
Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are used as an alternative to conventional mechanical excavation. Chryso provides a wide range of products for TBM application. Mechanized Tunneling is developing with the expansion of underground construction, particularly in urbanized areas.
CHRYSO offers a complete range of accelerators adapted to your building site constraints.
Alkali-free accelerators are easy and safer to use.
Our accelerator range is compatible with all cements, they operate perfectly in synergy with CHRYSO®’s superplasticizers to provide very high early compressive strengths.
Chryso superplasticizers are designed to enhance the rheology of shotcrete and in particular, long workability retention.
CHRYSO®Optima 100 and CHRYSO®Optima 1000 ranges are especially suited for shotcrete applications:
Combined with CHRYSO®Jet range of admixtures and our dedicated concrete mix-design know-how, synthetic fibres ensure a flawless and successful operation throughout the project.
Fibres dedicated to spray concrete are designed for:
As a part of its complete range of tunneling solutions, CHRYSO dedicated macro-fibres allow to meet the requirements of classes A, B and C shotcrete (EFNARC or ASTM standards).
Anti-fire spalling fibres
Chryso offers a full range of proven anti-fire spalling fibres and its expertise in adapted mix designs.
Chryso provides a wide range of products that are designed specifically for use with all TBM processes (ex: traditional or A +B backfill grouts)
Supported by our wide network of local laboratories, Chryso local technical experts provide mix-design optimization and a wide range of dedicated products adapted to your project.
First technology resulting from CHRYSO and CONDAT collaboration, CHRYSO®TBM SGS (Smart Grout System) is a cutting-edge
patented backfill grout solution which ensures exceptional grout stability over several days before placement.
The grout stability and low viscosity allow for pumping over long distance and reduce the need for pipes flushing during machine stoppages, delivering unparalleled performance to meet the most demanding jobsites.
CHRYSO®TBM SGS is using a combinaison of several specific admixtures.
New CHRYSO®TBM SGS solution provides high-performing environmentally-friendly backfill grout for tunnels and underground city projects, that significantly reduces tunneling construction site’s environmental footprint, thanks to bentonite substitution.
Chryso offers precast concrete professionals and Major companies specialized in underground construction projects, a series of products and services dedicated to tunnel segments production.
CHRYSO®Tera stands out as it improves tunnel segments production performances thanks to dedicated admixtures and CHRYSO®Tera Lab tailor-made service.
In addition to the traditional performance indicators (slump retention, water reduction, workability, early strengths, etc.), our innovative approach focuses on 3 tunnel segments specific performance indicators:
CHRYSO offers a large range of demolding agents with an optimum HSE profile, enabling high quality surface finishes and preserving molds durability even at the most stringent curing temperatures.
With the help of our technical team, we can optimize the use of release agents, optimize your nozzle choices, your consumption ratio, deliver additional cost savings and segments’ finish quality.
Chryso offers a full range of proven anti-fire spalling fibres and our expertise in adapted mix designs, especially for tunnel segments.
Chryso has developed a unique comprehensive know-how regarding Fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC), to improve the fire resistance and the durability of concrete.
Chryso offers a full tunneling range of services to meet your safety, performance and productivity needs.
Chryso teams will provide you with a tailor-made CHRYSO®Tera Lab, a dedicated service for tunnel segments, that will help you solve your Tunnel segments problematics and improve your production.
Our R&D and technical teams support you to optimize shotcrete, tunnel segment and backfill grout mix design technical support to meet the requirements of classes A, B and C shotcrete (EFNARC or ASTM standards) for shotcrete.
In situ technical support: Chryso technical experts accompany you in situ to offer the most adaptable and best fit solutions to meet your specific requirements.
Chryso supports your teams throughout the logistic chain: both during equipment installation, training and daily supply.
Le Grand Paris Express est le plus grand projet urbain en Europe. Il a pour ambition d’unir les grands territoires stratégiques de la région d’Ile-de-France, au premier rang desquels Paris et le cœur de l’agglomération parisienne
