What is Industrial Infrastructure?

Industrial infrastructure includes plants, warehouses, utility corridors, and equipment foundations that support production, storage, and distribution operations. These assets often carry heavy loads, operate around the clock, and require stable ground conditions to prevent costly downtime.

Challenges in Industrial Infrastructure

  • Settlement beneath slabs, foundations, and equipment pads
  • Soil instability leading to cracking and joint displacement
  • Erosion and voids caused by groundwater or utility leaks
  • High maintenance costs from recurring structural problems
  • Business disruptions from traditional excavation methods

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 Industrial Infrastructure Solutions

Trenchless stabilization solutions restore strength and reliability in industrial settings. By reinforcing soils and correcting settlement, polymer injection protects facilities, reduces maintenance costs, and extends operational life.

Reliable Ground Support for Heavy-Duty Facilities

  • Restores slab and foundation stability in heavy-use areas
  • Minimizes operational downtime with trenchless repairs
  • Provides long-term protection against soil instability
  • Reduces recurring maintenance costs for facilities
