Embankment Repair
What is Embankment Repair?
Embankment repair restores stability and strength to slopes, levees, and raised soil structures compromised by erosion, settlement, or voids. Through trenchless polymer injection, soils are densified and reinforced, extending the life and safety of critical embankments.
Problems Solved
- Slope instability caused by weak or eroded soils
- Differential settlement undermining embankments and levees
- Voids forming beneath or within embankments from water migration
- Surface cracking and displacement from soil movement
- High cost and disruption of traditional excavation methods
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to densify and stabilize loose backfill soils
- Provides lightweight reinforcement without added soil pressure
- Cures rapidly to minimize operational disruption
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Creates rigid reinforcement zones behind walls and utilities
- Transfers structural loads to stable ground layers
- Extends service life of supported structures
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Expands and cures in wet or groundwater conditions
- Seals voids and prevents erosion in saturated soils
- Provides long-term durability in challenging sites
Benefits of Embankment Repair
Embankment repair with polymer injection restores stability and protects against further erosion without excavation. These solutions prevent failure, extend service life, and reduce costly maintenance.
Extend the Life of Slopes and Levee Systems
- Stabilizes slopes, levees, and raised embankments
- Prevents settlement, voids, and erosion damage
- Provides durable trenchless reinforcement at depth
- Minimizes disruption to transportation and water systems
