Core Capabilities

Improving Performance Across Operations

Our engineered solutions help industrial operations improve efficiency, reduce costs, and support compliance with environmental regulations.

Tunneling

Featured Capabilities

Tunneling Waste Solidification

EPB tunneling operations generate high-moisture spoil containing bentonite, clay, polymers, and fine particles that can be difficult and costly to transport, handle, and dispose of.

With more than 20 years of experience supporting major EPB TBM projects, MetaFLO engineered solidification reagents rapidly transform flowable spoil into non-flowable, stackable material directly at the source, improving logistics, reducing transportation risks, and supporting more efficient disposal operations.
