Structural Reinforcement
What is Structural Reinforcement?
Structural reinforcement is the process of restoring strength and stability to compromised infrastructure by supporting load paths, stabilizing soils, and filling voids. Using trenchless polymer injection, this method strengthens foundations, slabs, and retaining elements to extend service life and prevent costly failures.
Problems It Solves
- Cracking and displacement caused by foundation settlement
- Soil instability reducing structural load capacity
- Erosion and voids undermining slabs and footings
- Structural stress in industrial and municipal facilities
- Deterioration of critical infrastructure from soil or water pressure
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to fill voids beneath structures
- Provides lightweight reinforcement without overloading soils
- Rapid curing minimizes downtime
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Increases load-bearing strength beneath foundations
- Creates rigid reinforcement for critical load paths
- Extends the service life of slabs and footings
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Expands reliably in saturated or wet soils
- Controls groundwater to prevent erosion beneath structures
- Maintains long-term reinforcement under harsh conditions
Benefits of Structural Reinforcement
Structural reinforcement restores capacity and prevents failure in compromised infrastructure. By combining soil stabilization with durable polymer reinforcement, this trenchless method strengthens critical assets and extends their service life.
Strengthen Infrastructure Without Excavation
- Restores strength in weakened structural elements
- Provides reinforcement without costly excavation
- Compatible with a wide range of infrastructure assets
- Extends durability and reduces long-term maintenance costs
