What is Environmental Remediation?

Environmental remediation involves stabilizing contaminated soils, sealing migration pathways, and restoring safe site conditions. With trenchless polymer injection, barriers are created underground to prevent contaminant spread, strengthen soils, and protect surrounding infrastructure and water supplies.

Problems Solved

  • Contaminant migration through soil and groundwater pathways
  • Soil instability near hazardous sites or containment areas
  • Groundwater infiltration spreading pollutants into clean zones
  • Risk of collapse or failure in compromised soil environments
  • High costs and risks from excavation-based remediation

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 Environmental Remediation

Environmental remediation with polymer injection protects communities and ecosystems by containing contaminants and stabilizing soils without excavation. These solutions reduce risk, prevent spread, and extend the safe use of land and infrastructure.

Safe, Trenchless Solutions for Contaminated Sites

  • Seals contaminant pathways in soil and groundwater
  • Reinforces unstable soils at hazardous sites
  • Provides trenchless, non-disruptive remediation
  • Reduces long-term environmental and compliance risks
