The northern tube is also set to be completed by the end of October by the company Nanopool from Salzburg.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007, ASFINAG GmbH has successfully used Nanopool\u2019s &#8220;liquid glass&#8221; technology to reduce maintenance costs on tunnel walls. NP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-liquid glass has already been applied to epoxy coatings in the Tanzenberg and Massenberg tunnels near Bruck an der Mur and on the concrete inner linings of tunnels in Kirchdorf.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application of NP<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>-liquid glass system on the Tauern Tunnel walls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The technology is applied to the tunnel walls using pressurised spray systems, forming an ultra-thin liquid glass film that lines even the smallest cracks, preventing dirt and water ingress. This drastically reduces dirt adhesion, significantly minimising the need for extensive cleaning processes.<\/p>\n<p>This results in substantial cost savings for the operator while also making a sustainable contribution to road safety and environmental protection. Chemical cleaning agents are no longer required\u2014only water is used, with the water pressure reduced from 130 to just 30 bar.<\/p>\n<p>The cleaning interval has been reduced from twice a year to just once, meaning that traffic diversions due to cleaning operations are also halved, reducing the associated indirect costs significantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innovative protective coating significantly reduces cleaning costs and enhances road  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5121,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tauern Tunnel coated with NP\u00ae-liquid glass technology - Nano coatings &amp;
