Mannheim, February 2025 – Master Builders Solutions, a global leader in innovative concrete admixtures, construction systems and solutions for the underground construction industry, announces its product line expansion for tail sealants for TBM (tunnel boring machines) operations. In many countries around the world we see the trends of growing population and urbanization continue at rapid pace, which has led to an increase in demand for infrastructure such as subways and tunnels in highway construction.
“Master Builders Solutions is committed to serve the increasing needs of our customers and we are proud of the project team in getting the new production online and ready to deliver so quickly and efficiently,” stated Barbara Monschein, Managing Director and Site Head for Master Builders Solutions in Austria.
“By increasing the availability of tail sealants, we are ensuring that tunnel boring machine operators have access to high-quality, reliable solutions that maximize efficiency and minimize operational risks,” said Daniel Montalban, Global Head of Underground Construction at Master Builders Solutions.
In mechanized tunneling, tail sealants are specially formulated to ensure the TBM tail shield is effectively sealed against water, soil, and annulus grout ingress. Our tail sealants work seamlessly with the brush system to provide dependable sealing, even for the largest TBM diameters up to 17.6 meters. Brushes protected in this way by sealants are more flexible and more durable. The sealant’s performance safeguards optimum safety for operators and allows to maintain TBM performance, preventing costly downtime during tunneling operations.
