Rock’s talent for tunnels


No tunnel ever passes through a completely dry substrate, which is why water seepage is a problem so often associated with tunnels. At Rock, we appreciate how they must be kept dry for reasons of safety, maintenance and efficient operation. For any main contractor embarking on a project that involves tunnels, we are able to deliver extremely robust waterproofing solutions that are designed to extend the lifecycle of a tunnel and minimise potentially expensive repair and renovation works.

This is due to our unique partnership with Flag-Soprema UK Ltd, a division of the Soprema Group that is one of the largest independent manufacturers of synthetic waterproof membranes in the world. Rock is uniquely placed as its only major UK subcontractor authorised to supply and install Flag-Soprema’s tunnel waterproofing technology. Together with Flag, weare focused on securing work on Crossrail, the project which will see major new railway connections built under central London. This will involve not just the tunnels carrying trains, but also the huge number of interconnecting tunnels forpedestrians. With Rock’s established team of managers and unrivalled knowledge of waterproofing, we believe ourselves to be a clear choice of partner for any major tunnelling scheme.
