MODEL&CO is a company specialized in the design and manufacture of foundation engineering equipment: diaphragm wall, hydraulic and mechanical grabs, hydromills, piling and CFA, drilling muds, desanders, mixers and grouting machines. Select one of the categories to display the list of our products and machinery:
Diaphragm wallA diaphragm wall (slurry wall) is a concrete reinforced Wall built in situ underground. It can be executed in any type of soil, according to the strength of soil, a different excavation equipment maybe used. Bentonitic muds or polymeric muds maybe used according to soil stability conditions. The main advantage of Diaphragm Wall (slurry wall) is the great retention capacity and good watertightness, making it idoneous solution for great underground structures such as parkings, subway train stations, road underpasses, cutt-off Walls, slurry mixer, etc.

The execution of piles is very fast and is highly mechanized. There are many techniques of pile execution, and many building solutions to use piles. The installation of piles maybe separate, in groups, in line forming a discontinuous Wall, cotiguous piles, secant piles, telescopic and belled out piles, etc.

Muds are prepared by mixing bentonite poder with water in different ratios. Bentonite mud has excellent tixotropic properties, forming the cake short time after mixing water+bentonite and releasing heat. Bentonitic muds are suspensions of very fine grain clay poder, mixing must be done in certain way in order to achieve a colloidal suspension. There are also available polymeric muds, made by mixing water + chemical products, however so far bentonite mud is still of higher quality for all types of soil, and also polymeric muds cannot be pumped with common centrifugal pumps, since this would brake the polymer chain.
