PROJECT
Grenoble, a historic city bordered by the Isère River and surrounded by mountains, has always maintained a close relationship with water. Canals, rivers, and sanitation networks shape the urban landscape and the daily life of its residents.
In Saint-Martin-d’Hères, a neighboring municipality of Grenoble, water was infiltrating a stormwater collector due to the pressure of the groundwater table. For the Grenoble Metropolitan Authority, this situation required a rapid intervention to preserve the integrity of the network and ensure uninterrupted public service for local residents.
IMPLEMENTATION
To fill the water ingress, a pure paste of PROMPT natural cement mortar was applied from the highest point to the lowest, ensuring a strong and durable repair.
Sustainable Solution
PROMPT natural cement perfectly meets the requirements for restoring historic or existing structures thanks to its multiple properties. Its impermeability and compatibility with existing substrates make it an ideal material for work in wet environments. PROMPT natural cement offers a durable, aesthetic, and heritage-friendly solution, as demonstrated by this intervention.
Complete Restoration
Upon completion, the leak was immediately stopped, and the collector regained its integrity and functionality. The project successfully ensured the safety and comfort of the residents of Saint-Martin-d’Hères.
