Expertise and precision in execution

Our commitment to excellence was demonstrated through the meticulous installation by our teams of certified, highly experienced welders. Guaranteeing a smooth construction process, our teams worked tirelessly to install every component with precision, adhering to the highest quality standards.

Beyond products: A full-service approach

At Naue Sealing, our service extends far beyond product delivery. Our Norwegian branch/permanent establishment handled all administrative tasks, from material importation and tax matters to ensuring compliance with local regulations. We provided end-to-end service.

Naue was responsible for the delivery and installation of approximately 170.000 m2 protection geotextile Secutex® R1001-B2, 170.000 m2 Carbofol® tunnel membrane 2.0, 400.000 pcs Carbofol® Rondelles and 600 pcs Carbofol® ME-Anchors.

Carbofol® ME Anchor: Revolutionizing tunnel sealing

The Carbofol® ME Anchor represents a leap in sealing technology. This non-penetrating solution ensures the effective fixing of reinforcements while maintaining the integrity of the waterproofing membrane, marking a significant advancement in tunnel engineering.

Carbofol® Click System / injection connection

For the gap-grouting of the inner shell arch area, injection hoses were placed on the tunnel geomembrane. The Carbofol® Click System was used.
