Bentonite for Construction & Civil Engineering

Specialised Bentonite products for foundations, tunnelling, sealing and civil infrastructure projects.

Bentonite Support for Civil Engineering Projects

Rajeshri Natural Resources supplies Sodium, Drilling Grade and Raw Bentonite for construction and geotechnical applications. Bentonite is used as a thixotropic support and lubricating material in diaphragm walls, foundations, tunnelling, horizontal directional drilling and pipe jacking. Its swelling and low-permeability properties also support waterproofing and sealing systems. Product selection should be based on project specifications, soil conditions and site testing.

Swelling and Sealing Properties

Selected Sodium Bentonite grades develop a low-permeability barrier when properly hydrated.

Slurry Support

Supports stable slurry preparation for foundation, excavation and underground construction work.

Controlled Material Supply

Consistent grades and bulk packaging help support planned project consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Bentonite grade is commonly used in civil engineering?

Sodium and Drilling Grade Bentonite are commonly selected, depending on the required swelling, viscosity and slurry performance.

Can Bentonite be used for waterproofing?

Yes. Sodium Bentonite is used in engineered waterproofing and low-permeability barrier systems.

Is the material suitable for diaphragm wall slurry?

Drilling Grade Bentonite may be supplied for diaphragm-wall applications subject to project specifications and testing.

Can you supply Bentonite for large infrastructure projects?

Yes. Bulk and scheduled supply can be planned according to estimated project consumption.

Is technical testing required before use?

Yes. Site conditions, mixing water, soil characteristics and project specifications should be evaluated before final selection.
