What is Chemical Grouting?

Chemical grouting is a trenchless soil and structure treatment method that uses engineered resins and gels to seal leaks, control groundwater, and strengthen surrounding soils. By injecting chemical grout into voids, joints, and fissures, the process creates a durable barrier that stabilizes underground structures and prevents long-term deterioration.

Problems Solved

  • Stops groundwater inflow quickly
  • Densifies or impermeabilizes soils
  • Provides a trenchless repair option when excavation isn’t feasible
  • Protects structures from erosion, voids, and water intrusion

Types of Grout Used

Acrylate Gels

  • Ultra-low viscosity (1–3 cps) for micro-infiltration
  • Penetrates fine soils and tight joints
  • Hydrophilic—expands upon water contact

Single-Component Polyurethanes

  • Expands to stop active leaks
  • Bonds well to wet substrates
  • Fast curing—ideal for emergencies

Urea-Silicates

  • High strength and chemical resistance
  • Effective for structural reinforcement in saturated zones
  • Suitable for curtain walls and void stabilization

Benefits of Chemical Grouting

Chemical grouting provides more than a temporary fix. By sealing infiltration pathways and reinforcing surrounding soils, it offers durable performance in even the most challenging environments. The trenchless approach minimizes disruption, while proven grout formulations ensure reliable results that extend the service life of critical infrastructure.

Engineered Advantages That Deliver Long-Term Protection

  • Stops active leaks, even under flowing water conditions
  • Strengthens and stabilizes surrounding soils
  • Non-destructive and trenchless installation
  • Provides long-term durability and structural protection
