Nano Labs Corp. ("Nano Labs" or "The Company") is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement through its subsidiaries "Pol-Ec International Technologies Corp USA" and POLEC S de RL ("Polec Mexico") to submit test trials to construct access roads for the New International Airport of Mexico City (NAICM).
This is a vital part of the infrastructure for the construction of one of the largest airports in the world when completed. http://www.aeropuerto.gob.mx/
After reviewing the benefits and the scope of the potential applications of Technosoil, POLEC´s liquid cement, which has been tested over the past 6 months, POLEC has been invited by the technical committee of the new airport project to submit a technical proposal for construction of the access roads for the entire project.
The entire project represents an investment of more than $13 billion US Dollars in phase one. The new airport will be built on 11,400 acres of land (4,430 hectares). Some of this land is on a reserve owned by the federal government in the lakebed of Texcoco Lake. This land represents difficult technical challenges due to the water saturation levels of the local soil, the organic content, and the soil salinity. These conditions may lead to potential damage to infrastructure (roads, bricks, corrosion of pipes and cables) if these issues are not properly evaluated and addressed.
The terms of the partnership between the companies to test Polec's proprietary polymer-based liquid cement involve furthering technical evaluations and complete due diligence by the Airport Project´s Technical Committee. The technical proposal includes an evaluation of the performance of the product tested with local soil over the past 6 months.
"The Joint Venture agreement signed last year between the parties also provides the possibility to participate in future joint projects. The goal of the new agreement between Pol-Ec International Technologies Corp USA and Polec S, RL. is to invest in the validation protocol required to test Technosoil so that it will be used in the new airport, in particular for the access roads of the entire project," comments Mr. Bernardo Camacho Chavarria, President of Nano Labs.
"The polymers function as a cementing and bonding agent which increases and optimizes the molecular attraction of the soil. This controls the expansion and linear contraction, thus increasing the amount of carrier load and resistance suitable for road construction applications while protecting the structures against elements like salt and water. An important feature of Technosoil is that it considerably reduces the permeability of the soil, which is a very important factor for this project. Polec's polymers meet ASTM standards and have been tested in laboratories with International Certification. The quality of polymers and technology developed for the construction industry makes Technosoil a logical choice for a project like NAICM," said Jorge Rodriguez, President of Polec Mexico.
One of the most important drivers for the invitation made by the Technical Committee to POLEC is the fact that Technosoil is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, water-resistant, and eliminates significant costs associated with material transport and handling.
"We are very pleased to be working with Polec in this tremendous opportunity that will enable us to prove the potential for this product to be an extremely cost efficient construction alternative. The construction cost using Technosoil is only $110,000 US Dollars per kilometer. This is a considerable and significant cost saving over current construction methods. Furthermore, this project could generate $12 million US Dollars in product sales per year. The company expects to have the results of this submission in the next 15 days," comments Mr. Bernardo Camacho Chavarria.
