What is Slope Failure Repair?

Slope failure repair restores stability to landslides, embankments, and hillsides weakened by erosion, water infiltration, or soil movement. Through trenchless polymer injection, soils are reinforced, voids are filled, and long-term stabilization is achieved without large-scale excavation.

Problems Solved

  • Landslides or slope instability from weak soils
  • Erosion undermining embankments and hillsides
  • Groundwater infiltration weakening slopes
  • Settlement and cracking at the base of slopes
  • Infrastructure damage from slope movement or collapse

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 Slope Failure Repair

Slope failure repair with polymer injection prevents landslides and restores embankments with minimal disruption. These trenchless solutions strengthen soils, extend infrastructure life, and protect communities.

Restore Safety and Stability to Compromised Slopes

  • Stabilizes soils to prevent landslides and failures
  • Restores embankments supporting infrastructure
  • Provides trenchless reinforcement without excavation
  • Reduces long-term risks and repair costs
