Grand Paris Express
The Grand Paris Express is the largest urban project in Europe with the construction of 200 km of automatic lines, as much as the current metro, and 68 stations. The four new lines of the Grand Paris Express (15, 16, 17 and 18), as well as the line 14 extended to the north and south, […]
Hydraulic Pressure Cells
Reference products codes: L111, PK45H, P252A, TUNY Hydraulic pressure cells are designed to measure stress in mass concrete or placed at the interface between the structure and the wall of excavation. The pressure pad consists of two steel plates welded together around their periphery and spaced apart by a narrow cavity saturated under vacuum with […]

FAQ#030 – Why do the NATM pressure cells have repressurizing tubes?
NATM pressure cells are normally used to measure tangential and radial stresses in concrete tunnel lining. They are embedded in concrete and after curing the cell shall be repressurized to mantain the intimate contact between the pessure pad and the surrounding material.
FAQ#022 – Why NATM pressure cells have repressurizing tubes?
NATM pressure cells are normally used to measure tangential and radial stresses in concrete tunnel lining. They are embedded in concrete and after curing the cell shall be repressurized to mantain the intimate contact between the pessure pad and the surrounding material.
FAQ#021 – Is the repressurizing hand pump for NATM pressure cells filled by de-aired oil, ready to use? Which kind of oil is used for this purpose?
Yes it is. The pump is filled at factory under vacuum with de-aired oil. For normal use within concrete the oil inside the pump is enough to repressurize 50 pcs. of NATM pressure cells. The oil we use is Edwards Ultra-grade 19 type for vacuum-pump use.
