For Pipe Jacking:
Imerys Civil Engineering Pipe Jacking Bentonite leads to viscous slurries surrounding the pipe which are thick enough to create fluid friction across the complete length to avoid the soil touching the pipe. Additionally, the penetrability of the bentonite slurry in the soil is minimal (low filtrate loss) both for economic and for stability reasons.
