Nanjing Metro Line 6 Shield Tail Sealing Grease Supply Project
Project Background
Since June 2024, Wuhan Huadingcheng New Materials Co., Ltd. has continuously supplied shield tail sealing grease for the Nanjing Metro Line 6 project constructed by China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group Co., Ltd. Metro tunnel construction faces complex underground geological conditions and highpressure groundwater risks, which impose strict requirements on the sealing performance, water resistance and batch stability of shield tail sealing grease. Reliable grease performance is critical to prevent water and slurry leakage and guarantee safe and continuous shield tunneling construction.

Challenges
01 Strict anti-leakage sealing requirements
The Nanjing Metro Line 6 site features complex underground geology and high groundwater pressure. The shield tail sealing grease must deliver outstanding sealing capacity to block groundwater and mortar and eliminate risks of water and slurry leakage during tunneling.
02 Consistent batch-to-batch product performance
Long-term continuous supply requires every delivered batch of shield tail sealing grease to maintain stable indicators; inconsistent product quality would directly endanger tunnel construction safety.
03 Stable on-time continuous delivery
Shield tunneling proceeds non-stop. Timely and stable material supply is required to avoid construction suspension caused by material shortage.
04 On-site technical support for tunneling operations
Professional technical coordination is needed to match grease feeding parameters with actual tunneling conditions for optimal sealing effect.
Solution
HDC’s technical team analyzed the geological features and construction parameters of Nanjing Metro Line 6 and rolled out a complete supporting supply solution:
-
01
High-performance shield tail sealing grease
Provide specially formulated shield tail sealing grease with excellent water resistance, sealing property and pumpability, adapting to highpressure groundwater conditions at the jobsite and forming reliable sealing barriers at the shield tail.
-
02
Strict batch quality control
Implement full-process production inspection for each batch product, strictly control key indicators including penetration, density and water resistance, to guarantee consistent performance across all batches.
-
03
Stable continuous delivery mechanism
Adopt a rolling delivery plan aligned with the progress of shield tunneling, arrange reasonable inventory turnover to ensure uninterrupted material supply for the construction site.
-
04
Responsive on-demand technical service
Provide technical support throughout the project cycle; technical staff offer parameter adjustment suggestions matching on-site tunneling conditions to optimize grease application effect.
Results
Continuous supply of shield tail sealing grease for Nanjing Metro Line 6 from June 2024 up to the present, with stable product performance recognized by China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group Co., Ltd.
• Zero water leakage or slurry leakage incidents occurred during shield tunneling construction, the grease achieved ideal sealing performance under local high-pressure underground water environment.
• All supplied batches passed quality checks, with stable batch consistency and no quality-related construction risks.
• Timely rolling delivery fully matched continuous shield tunneling progress; no construction shutdown caused by material shortage.
• The client highly affirmed HDC’s reliable product quality, stable supply capacity and responsive technical support.
