What is Water & Wastewater Infrastructure?

Water and wastewater infrastructure includes treatment plants, tanks, pipelines, and utility corridors that ensure safe water supply and reliable wastewater management. These systems must operate continuously, making soil stability and watertight integrity essential for public health and environmental protection.

Challenges in Water & Wastewater Infrastructure

  • Settlement undermining treatment plants, tanks, and utility structures
  • Groundwater infiltration weakening sewer and storm water systems
  • Voids forming around pipelines, vaults, and tanks from erosion or leakage
  • Cracking and joint displacement in concrete basins and channels
  • Costly downtime and compliance risks from system failures

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 Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Solutions

Trenchless polymer injection restores stability and watertight performance for water and wastewater systems. These solutions prevent infiltration, reduce downtime, and extend the life of treatment facilities and utilities.

Protect Critical Utilities With Long-Term Stabilization

  • Stabilizes tanks, basins, and treatment facilities
  • Seals leaks in pipelines, vaults, and storm water structures
  • Minimizes downtime with fast-curing trenchless methods
  • Reduces compliance risks and long-term repair costs
