The technology, designed and developed by the Team of Geotechnics and Engineering Structures, enables the creation of non-permeable layers of hydrophobized sand. Hydrophobized sand is characterized by zero capillarity and low permeability. Loose soil achieves similar low water permeability as non-permeable cohesive soils, maintaining at the same time, the excellent mechanical and strength parameters of sand.
This technology is intended for application in the building industry.
