Emergency Ground Stabilization
What is Emergency Ground Stabilization?
Emergency ground stabilization is a rapid-response process that uses expanding polymer injection to restore ground strength, fill voids, and stop ongoing settlement. This trenchless solution is designed for urgent situations where infrastructure safety, service continuity, or public access is at immediate risk.
Problems It Solves
- Sudden soil collapse or void formation
- Rapid settlement threatening critical structures
- Roadway or pavement failure requiring immediate repair
- Emergency water or utility line washouts
- Unsafe ground conditions requiring urgent stabilization
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands quickly to fill voids and stabilize soils
- Lightweight and fast curing for emergency use
- Provides reliable load transfer immediately after injection
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Creates rigid soil reinforcement under critical assets
- Restores bearing capacity in weak or compromised zones
- Delivers long-term stability in repaired areas
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Effective in wet or saturated ground conditions
- Expands under active leaks or washout conditions
- Ensures durable stabilization even during groundwater flow
Benefits of Emergency Ground Stabilization
Emergency ground stabilization provides immediate support for weakened soils and compromised structures. By using fast-curing polymers, this process reduces risk, restores safety, and prevents further damage without costly downtime.
Rapid Response for Critical Infrastructure
- Fast curing for immediate load-bearing capacity
- Minimal disruption to traffic or operations
- Stops ongoing settlement or soil collapse
- Provides durable stabilization that extends asset life
Key Applications
Roadways & Highways
Stabilizes sudden settlement or voids under critical traffic routes
Roadways & Bridge Approaches
Provides immediate support to compromised approach structures
Airport Pavements
Rapidly restores taxiways, aprons, and runways for safe use
