Soil Containment Wall
What is a Soil Containment Wall?
A soil containment wall is a subsurface barrier designed to stop erosion, prevent soil migration, and block groundwater seepage. Using trenchless polymer injection, impermeable walls are created underground to protect embankments, levees, foundations, and other critical structures.
Problems Solved
- Erosion undermining embankments, levees, or foundations
- Groundwater seepage threatening structural stability
- Soil migration causing voids and loss of support
- Settlement or collapse in poorly reinforced soil zones
- High disruption and cost of traditional containment wall construction
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 Soil Containment Walls
Soil containment walls with polymer injection stop erosion and seepage, reinforcing soils without excavation. These solutions protect infrastructure and extend the life of critical embankments and foundations.
Protect Structures With Underground Containment Barriers
- Prevents erosion and soil migration beneath assets
- Blocks groundwater seepage with impermeable barriers
- Provides durable reinforcement without excavation
- Reinforces and extends infrastructure service life
