Soil Stabilization Services
We service both Residential & Commercial and offer different processes in order to fit your situation.
Residential Soil Stabilization
In a residential context, soil stabilization is often a critical part of ensuring the longevity and safety of homes and other structures. Over time, soil around foundations can become prone to shifting, settling, which can compromise the structural integrity of the building. To mitigate these risks, homeowners may opt for soil stabilization techniques such as water injection or chemical injections. These treatments are performed prior to building your home and may also be extended to areas like driveways and patios, helping to prevent cracks or other types of structural damage.
Commercial Soil Stabilization
Commercial properties, such as office buildings, shopping malls, or industrial complexes, often occupy larger land areas and may be constructed with more advanced architectural designs and heavier loads. Chemical injection or water injection techniques are commonly used to address a wide range of soil conditions and challenges, from improving load-bearing capacity to improving the structures stability. Commercial soil stabilization often involves collaboration among geotechnical engineers, architects, and contractors to ensure that the soil's characteristics are compatible with the structural requirements, thereby enhancing the longevity and safety of the commercial property.
What's the difference?
The difference between our two methods of Soil Stabilization.
SOIL STABILIZATION
Water Injection
Water injection is primarily used to stabilize clay soils. By injecting water into the soil, the particles are encouraged to settle, thereby reducing the swell potential and increasing the density of the soil. This makes the soil more stable and less prone to shifting or settling over time, which can be essential for the structural integrity of buildings, roads, or embankments. Water injection is generally the preferred injection method and is cheaper than chemical injection. However, it's crucial to note that this method is not suitable for all soil types.
SOIL STABILIZATION
Chemical Injection
Chemical injection, on the other hand, involves injecting chemical solutions into the soils. Chemical injection can offer more targeted results by changing the ionic make up of the clay soils. However, the use of chemicals may be subject to environmental regulations, and the costs are generally higher than water injection.
In Summary
Water is the most commonly used injection method and has been used for 30+ years. Chemical injection provides more specialized treatment options and can be adapted for a wider range of soil types and conditions, but it tends to be more expensive and subject to regulatory considerations.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Soil Stabilization
Soil injection is a specialized technique used to stabilize the soil for homes and commercial buildings. The process targets the ground area or foundation and involves injecting rods into the underlying soil. Depending on the goal, water or chemical solutions are injected; water is commonly used for soil stabilization, while chemicals may be added to the water injection process to change the make up of the clay soils.
The injection is performed using high-pressure steel rods to ensure deep penetration of the liquid into the soil.
Upon completion of the injection process, clay soils swell potential should be reduced to a 1% swell or less (or to geotechnical engineers specifications).
