Soil Stabilization
​
what is Soil Stabilization?
​
All structures rely on a soil, rock, and/or sand base to keep them in place and stable. When those components are compromised due to lack of compaction, washout, or drought, failures can occur.
We have a solution that avoids the expensive and time-consuming processes of excavation, piering, demolition, or reconstruction.
Our Deep Foam Injection method is a far less disruptive alternative. It involves injecting a specifically formulated polyurethane foam deep into the ground to reinforce the ground that your structure relies on.
This process stabilizes, prevents further movement, and — in some cases — can even
move the structure back into its original position, depending on the specific situation.
residential and commercial applications
-
Foundation Stabilization: Supports footings of homes, grain silos, garages, out buildings, etc.
-
Manholes: Fills any empty void and creates a stabile base
-
Sinkholes
-
Seawalls: Bowing Seawalls
-
Erosion Control: Binds loose soils together
-
Large load bearing slabs: Highways and Streets
-
Railroads
the process​
During your free inspection, your Project Manager will run several tests, including a Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) test — to measure the strength and load-bearing capacity of the soil that your structure relies on.
This critical data helps us pinpoint exactly where and how deep the foam needs to be injected. From there, your Project Manager will design a custom plan based on the unique conditions of your specific situation and the results you’re hoping to achieve. This will allow us to determine where and how deep the foam will need to be injected.
benefits of Soil Stabilization
