Saint Gobain demonstrates innovation and performance for underground infrastructure at World Tunnel Congress 2026
Saint Gobain will participate in the World Tunnel Congress (WTC) 2026 in Montreal, where it will showcase its comprehensive, high performance construction chemicals offering for underground construction. Bringing together the expertise of Chryso, GCP, Fosroc, and Weber, Saint Gobain will present an integrated portfolio designed to address the most demanding challenges of modern tunnelling and underground infrastructure.
As urbanisation accelerates worldwide and surface space becomes increasingly constrained, underground construction is playing a critical role in delivering mobility, resilient infrastructure, and sustainable development. These projects are often executed in highly technical, complex and challenging conditions, requiring reliable solutions that ensure performance, durability, and long service life.
At WTC 2026, Saint Gobain’s booth will showcase a comprehensive portfolio of solutions designed to address the demands and challenges of today’s underground projects.
