Bentonite to Polymer Slurry, the sustainable route to building reinforced concrete diaphragm walls
Bentonite has been a crucial construction element in building reinforced concrete diaphragm walls for deep basement structures. But over the years, civil construction companies have started using polymer in their excavation fluids and slurry. Read on to understand the importance of both the materials in constructing concrete diaphragm walls, the differences between them, and how […]
Water Stoppers: A crucial element in diaphragm wall construction
Some of the strongest and biggest structures in the world are built on much smaller, but crucial items which hold the foundation of their strength. And when it comes to building diaphragm walls for underground basements, one of the biggest concerns for any civil engineer is water seepage on site. This is where water stoppers […]
Safety on Site: Diaphragm Wall Construction by Heritage Infraspace
Apart from being the pioneers of diaphragm wall construction for deep basements, what makes Heritage Infraspace India Ltd rank as the one of the top construction company in India is their approach to safety on site. Safety on construction sites protects the workers and keeps the public safe. The construction sites commissioned to HIPL are […]
Anchoring: A key aspect Diaphragm Wall Construction
Diaphragm wall construction is very crucial for modern super structures like residential and commercial complexes with basements. These reinforced concrete walls provide the much required underground support and stability to the structure. And what ensures that these diaphragm walls are sturdy enough to keep these structures intact is Anchoring. All diaphragm wall construction companies will […]

Everything you need to know about building Concrete Diaphragm Walls
What is a concrete diaphragm wall? Diaphragm or slurry walls are generally reinforced concrete walls, constructed in the ground using an under-slurry technique developed in Europe. This technique involves excavating a narrow trench that is kept full of an engineered slurry fluid. This way, concrete diaphragm walls with thickness ranging between 300 mm to 1200 […]
