Soletanche Bachy, leader in soil reinforcement, has formed a partnership with ECP, to distribute its Stone range around an innovative process that uses biomineralization processes. The BIOCALCIS process, developed with a bacterium, makes it possible to consolidate the structure of the stones of old buildings. Depending on the rate of porosity and the alteration of the stone, it can be sprayed on the surface or injected, all followed by a calcifying solution. Developed with respect for materials, this natural process reinforces the condition of the material and allows it to extend its life without having to be replaced. It nourishes the stone in depth by the action of the bacteria which will produce calcium carbonate in the form of calcite.
