When poor soil conditions, karst geology, and even sinkholes threaten the stability of your structure, grouting and soil stabilization provide proven solutions. These ground improvement techniques help control water, fill voids, and increase bearing capacity, ensuring long-term foundation support for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
Grouting and Stabilization Solutions
Grouting and soil stabilization are essential ground improvement techniques used to enhance soil strength, fill voids, and provide reliable foundation support for structures. These methods involve grout injection into soil or rock to improve stability, control water, and increase bearing capacity.
Typical applications include:
- Repairing settled foundations
- Reducing soil permeability
- Improving soil structure for construction projects
Push Piers (Underpinning Piles)
Push Piers are a foundation support technique used to restore stability and prevent further settlement in homes, buildings, and infrastructure. This underpinning method transfers loads to deeper, more stable soil layers.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Restoring settled foundations in residential and commercial buildings
-
Supporting structures during adjacent excavation or load increases
-
Providing deep foundation support where soils are weak or compressible
ADVANTAGES:
-
Effective for long-term stability
-
Minimal disruption during installation
-
Works in various soil conditions
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Our team evaluates soil type, determines capacity, and installs piers to stabilize your foundation soils efficiently.
Chemical Grouting for Permeation Control (Polyurethane Injection)
Chemical grouting is a ground stabilization technique that uses chemical grout to reduce soil permeability and improve strength. It is ideal for controlling water infiltration and stabilizing loose soils.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Sealing soil voids and cracks
-
Providing ground support for tunnels and underground structures
-
Improving soil stability around foundations
ADVANTAGES:
-
High bearing capacity improvement
-
Effective for deep soil stabilization
-
Controls water migration and prevents erosion
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The process involves chemical injection under controlled pressure, creating a stable soil structure that resists water infiltration.
Compaction Grouting to Address Loose Soil
Compaction grouting involves injecting a thick, low-mobility cement-based grout under pressure to densify and stabilize loose soils. This method displaces weak zones, compacts surrounding material, and increases bearing capacity.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Correcting settlement problems
-
Improving soil strength for new construction projects
-
Reducing geotechnical risks in foundation soils
ADVANTAGES:
-
Cost-effective solution for soil improvement
-
Creates a stable soil structure
-
Works well in specific soil conditions
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Engineers assess soil type, design the injection process, and monitor pressure to ensure optimal ground improvement.
