Certain ground conditions make it difficult to obtain a reliable earth resistance, whilst particular installations may require a very low resistance. In such cases, FurseCEM provides a convenient and permanent solution.

By adding FurseCEM in place of sand and aggregate, to cement, a conductive concrete is formed. This electrically conductive medium has many applications in the electrical/construction industry including RF and microwave screening, static control and of course earthing for which it was specifically developed.

When used as a backfill for an earth electrode, FurseCEM impregnated concrete greatly increases the electrodes’ surface area. For example, increasing the effective diameter of a rod from typically 15mm to 200mm, could lower its resistance to earth by as much as 50%

FurseCEM :a permanent solution to earthing problems

   Resistivity that will remain constant over the life of the installation without the requirement for maintenance

   Regardless of water content, FurseCEM will not shrink or expand, thus maintaining constant contact between the earth electrode and the soil 

   Reduces drilling, saves on earthing materials, and requires no expensive maintenance 

   FurseCEM is a conductive concrete and therefore cannot be washes away

   Completely non-corrosive, and will not in any way damage earth electrodes, steelwork or concrete

   Allows for quick and easy installation 

   Provides high compressive strength where required

   Can be stored for long periods without deterioration

   Suitable for use in boreholes and trenches
