Watertightness worth a billion

The reason was to avoid water leakage into the tunnel. A power outage would affect many factories nearby and cause severe safety issues as well as production losses for up to one billion CNY (152 million USD).
"Roxtec is a famous and very reliable safety solution", says Mr. Hongsen Wang, onsite installation coordinator at Jinan Hui Tong Joint-Municipal Co., Ltd.

One perfect solution

The seals had to be able to handle the complex system of cables and pipelines and withstand rainy conditions and constant water pressure. The tunnel runs through a low-lying landscape as well as in mountainous and urban areas. By choosing Roxtec, the builders covered all demands with one single system.

Sealing underground

523 wall entries for the electric power system were sealed with Roxtec R transits. Another 479 openings for cables and pipes in the communication system were sealed with Roxtec UG™ seals for underground applications. The seals are equipped with knockout sleeves to enable sealing before routing.
"Roxtec UG™ is an ideal solution for solving the problem of water ingress and constant water pressure in underground projects", says Mr. Hongsen Wang.
