What happens during injection
The two components are only mixed in the injection lance. In the ground the resin expands within seconds to about 30 times its volume and cures into a solid, closed mass. It fills voids and compresses the ground. After that nothing changes: the resin stays in place.
Working safely
- We request the location of cables and pipes beforehand
- The injection unit stays outside; only the hoses come in
- We inject point by point, under continuous laser measurement
- No concrete, cement or spoil is involved
With serious damage, have a structural engineer assess the situation. Soiltek is a specialist contractor: we record, measure, propose a technique and carry out the repair, in consultation with your engineer.
