Sinkhole Remediation
What is Sinkhole Remediation?
Sinkhole remediation restores stability to areas affected by subsurface voids and collapses. Using trenchless polymer injection, cavities are filled, soils are reinforced, and settlement is corrected to protect infrastructure and prevent future sinkhole activity.
Problems Solved
- Sudden ground collapse threatening structures or roadways
- Subsurface voids forming in karst terrain or soluble soils
- Soil erosion and groundwater migration causing instability
- Structural damage from uneven settlement
- High costs and disruption of excavation-based repairs
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 Sinkhole Remediation
Sinkhole remediation with polymer injection provides rapid stabilization and void filling without excavation. These solutions protect property, infrastructure, and public safety in sinkhole-prone regions.
Safe, Trenchless Solutions for Sinkhole-Prone Areas
- Fills voids and restores support in sinkhole areas
- Prevents collapse and structural damage from soil loss
- Provides long-term stability without excavation
- Protects infrastructure and communities in high-risk zones
