Soil injection in a basement - Resins Industry

The job

This house is built ±100 years ago, next to the dyke keeping the water of the river Waal out of the area. With the extreme low water levels we’ve experienced in the last years a lot of buildings are suffering from sinking. Because the soil is compacting more than it usually would.

What we’ve done here, is injecting our specialised resin under super high pressure to bond with the soils, creating a strong compact structure to prevent further damage of the house.

The problem

The low groundwater tables over the last few years have been a growing problem in The Netherlands. Resulting in soils settling more than usually. Because of this a lot of buildings are sinking, causing cracked walls and other major damages.

We can measure in the building and discuss the options with the owner or contractor in charge. If you’ve got a similar problem, contact us via the form below.

Injecting the soils

The first step in the resin injection, is drilling the holes so our fill pipes can be put in place. After which we place these pipes at the depth at which the injecting is required and fixed to withstand the pressure applied.

When the pipes are fixated we can inject the resins under pressure to stabilise the soils.
