Beijing Subway

The 27.7 km (17 mile) Beijing subway tunnel travels underground, from Songjiazhuang, in south Beijing, to Beitaipingzhuang in the north. The route lightens traffic on the city's north-south axis along the third ring road.

Many cracks in the finished concrete tunnels were actively leaking water and it was feared that the reinforcing steel, tracks, guide cables and equipment were susceptible to deterioration from the moisture.

Solution

In 1999, Kryton was contracted to provide the materials to repair cracks and to waterproof existing concrete in the underground tunnels. 16 tons of Kryton materials including Krystol T1, Krystol  Bari-cote and Krystol Plug were supplied to waterproof and repair the cracked concrete. To date the materials are working as specified.
