Settlement Mitigation
What is Settlement Mitigation?
Settlement mitigation is the process of stabilizing weak soils and correcting displaced structures to restore safe, functional performance. Using trenchless polymer injection, this method strengthens subgrades, fills voids, and prevents further settlement that can compromise foundations, pavements, and critical infrastructure.
Problems It Solves
- Structural damage caused by differential settlement
- Uneven pavements creating trip hazards or drainage issues
- Voids beneath foundations and slabs from erosion or groundwater
- Weak soils unable to support applied loads
- Ongoing settlement threatening asset safety and service life
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to fill voids and stabilize weak soils
- Provides lightweight support without overloading subgrades
- Achieves fast curing for minimal downtime
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Restores load-bearing capacity in compromised soils
- Provides rigid reinforcement beneath foundations and slabs
- Extends long-term stability of repaired assets
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Performs reliably in wet or saturated soils
- Displaces groundwater to maintain soil stability
- Prevents erosion that accelerates settlement
Benefits of Settlement Mitigation
Settlement mitigation provides a trenchless solution for correcting displacement and strengthening weak soils. This process reduces risks, prevents costly failures, and extends the service life of infrastructure.
Restore Stability and Prevent Future Movement
- Corrects structural displacement caused by settlement
- Strengthens weak soils to prevent future movement
- Non-destructive trenchless installation method
- Provides durable, long-term stability for critical assets
