Testing of insulation materials, geosynthetics and waterproofing membranes
Waterproofing membranes and geosynthetics are materials used in construction (waterproofing and earthwork) and are sized for decades of use. They must retain their specific properties during this long period. At the OFI, we test the suitability of products, check that they have been properly installed and support the development of new products with our know-how.
Prüfung von Dämmstoffen, Geokunststoffen und Abdichtungsbahnen

OFI studies waterproofing membranes and geosynthetics that are sized for decades of use through their use in waterproofing and earthworks. Accordingly, these products must retain their specific properties over a long period of time. The choice usually falls on Construction Products made of plastic or modified plastic, to ensure the special requirements.

At OFI, we test the suitability of the products, assist with dimensioning, and check for proper installation on site.
