Oxford Trial Shows KB Polymers Outperform Bentonite >Read More

KB International, formerly KB Technologies, is the world leader in the development of synthetic slurries and synthetic formation stabilization systems for the construction of deep earth excavations, such as diaphragm walls, bored piles or drilled shafts, tie backs, jet grouting, and tunnels. Our products and technology also extend to many other specialty applications within the geoconstruction marketplace. KB's innovative technology has been utilized throughout North America, Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa. Major projects includes the massive Boston Central Artery (USA), Channel Tunnel Rail Link (UK), Vasco da Gama Bridge (Portugal), Richards Bay Bridge (S. Africa) and Taiwan High Speed Rail Line (Taiwan).

Our patented systems have been shown in definitive laboratory research and in full-scale field tests to have numerous advantages over traditional bentonite slurries and conventional polymers. These include: Improved rates of excavation Improved excavation geometry and stability Significantly reduced concrete overpour requirements Significantly reduced surface chipping required for connections Greater frictional load bearing capacity in bored piles Improved concrete to rebar bonding Environmentally friendly products Reduced construction site congestion

Geoconstruction technology has greatly advanced over the past decade. Difficult soil conditions such as beach sand, heavy clays, water sensitive clays and shale, low cohesion soils, gravel, cobble and silt as well as many other unstable mediums require slurry and stabilization systems that get the job done. KB International has continued to be at the forefront, developing systems to meet these challenges of today's foundation and subterranean construction.
