Description
PROFOAM is an innovative on-site foam production system designed for TBM soil conditioning. It enables contractors to manufacture and customize their foaming agent directly on site according to the geology encountered during tunnelling operations.
Using CONDAFOAM ULTRA as a concentrate, PROFOAM enables operators to formulate foam solutions tailored to their specific ground conditions, whether facing sticky soils, permeable ground or changing geologies.
This versatile equipment provides greater operational flexibility while significantly reducing transportation costs, packaging waste, storage requirements and environmental impact.
Produce foam tailored to your TBM project
Ground conditions can change significantly throughout a tunnelling project. A foam formulation that performs efficiently in one section may need to be adjusted as the TBM progresses and new geological conditions are encountered.
With PROFOAM, operators can adapt their foam treatment in real time by producing foaming agents directly on site and adjusting formulations according to project requirements.
Foaming agents are supplied as concentrates together with dedicated additives, allowing contractors to manufacture and customize the final foam solution when and where it is needed.
This approach helps maintain optimum soil conditioning performance while improving flexibility, reducing logistics constraints and minimizing operational costs.
Flexible installation options
PROFOAM can be integrated into different construction site configurations:
- Directly on the construction site
- Installed on the TBM
- Located in an external production facility supplying one or several TBMs
This flexibility allows TBM contractors to select the most suitable configuration according to project constraints, production capacity and site logistics.
