Energy & Utility Infrastructure
What is Energy & Utility Infrastructure?
Energy and utility infrastructure includes pipelines, substations, tanks, transmission corridors, and underground utilities that power communities and industries. These assets require stable foundations and durable protection to ensure uninterrupted service and long-term reliability.
Challenges in Energy & Utility Infrastructure
- Settlement beneath tanks, substations, and transmission structures
- Soil erosion undermining pipelines and buried utilities
- Groundwater infiltration impacting underground facilities
- Structural cracking and displacement from unstable soils
- High repair costs and service disruptions from traditional excavation
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to fill voids beneath foundations and slabs
- Provides lightweight reinforcement without adding load
- Cures quickly to minimize business interruption
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Strengthens soils supporting commercial structures
- Provides rigid reinforcement for pavements and parking areas
- Extends the service life of retail and office assets
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Expands and cures in wet or saturated soils
- Blocks groundwater infiltration in below-grade structures
- Maintains performance in challenging site conditions
Benefits of Energy & Utility Infrastructure Solutions
Trenchless polymer injection strengthens soils and restores support for critical energy and utility assets. These solutions protect against settlement, prevent service disruptions, and extend the performance of vital infrastructure.
Stable Foundations and Long-Term Reliability for Energy Assets
- Stabilizes pipelines, substations, tanks, and utilities
- Minimizes service disruptions with trenchless repairs
- Provides durable protection against settlement and erosion
- Reduces long-term maintenance and replacement costs
