Sofia Metro (Bulgaria)

Project type: Metro 

Products: 

Location: Sofia (Bulgaria) 

Benefits: 

  • Stable and durable quality 
  • Complete protection against water infiltration 
  • Perfect seal after repeated wet-dry cycles 

In Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, the metro network has been expanded with a third line. To make a third line possible, no fewer than 12 new metro stations were built. Sofia’s third metro line is designed to connect key parts of the metropolitan area, making them more accessible and offering travellers a fast and efficient way to get around. 

The project managers were looking for a partner who could protect the metro tunnels against possible water infiltration. They opted for the well-known swellable strips Bentobar+ from Bekina BeSealed to protect the metro tunnels against water infiltration. To mount the swellable strips, Bekina BeSealed installation mesh was used. 

Bentobar+ is known for its stable and durable quality, which was the decisive factor for the project managers in deciding to work with Bekina BeSealed swellable strips. 

This project will improve public transport in Sofia and contribute to the long-term development and growth of the city.
