Russian scientists developed unique building materials for Arctic

July 19, 2024

The new technology can help in the road industry and in the construction of low-rise buildings.

#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Scientists from the South Russian State Polytechnic University have developed a technology for creating environmentally friendly materials for road and low-rise construction in the Arctic. According to the university’s press service, the materials are obtained from combustion waste from thermal power plants.

One of the Arctic construction problems is the peculiarity of the soil: water in the soil increases in volume after freezing. Because of this, roads turn into ‘washboards’.

New materials are durable, frost-resistant and can be used for thermal insulation of foundations, basements, underground pipelines, and utility networks. Scientists will continue to work on improving the material.

Earlier, façade paints for the Arctic were developed in Norilsk.
