Groundwater Control
What is Groundwater Control?
Groundwater control prevents seepage, infiltration, and soil loss around underground structures, utilities, and foundations. With trenchless polymer injection, watertight barriers are formed to block water migration, stabilize soils, and protect critical assets.
Problems Solved
- Groundwater infiltration into basements, vaults, and tunnels
- Seepage through levees, dams, and embankments
- Soil erosion caused by uncontrolled water flow
- Structural weakening from hydrostatic pressure
- Costly downtime and repairs from persistent leaks
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 Groundwater Control
Groundwater control with polymer injection provides a trenchless method to stop infiltration, protect structures, and stabilize soils. These solutions safeguard infrastructure and reduce costly repairs.
Long-Term Protection From Seepage and Infiltration
- Blocks seepage and infiltration into underground structures
- Reinforces soils against erosion and water damage
- Provides watertight protection without excavation
- Reduces maintenance costs and compliance risks
