Deep Foamjection provides a ‘next level’ approach to traditional concrete raising methods. It aims to literally inject foam materials deeper underground than would be applied in typical raising methods, delivering a more solid and durable foundation for structures and their foundations. It is usually used to address problems with failing subgrades that result in structural decay. As we’ll see, this process has plenty of different applications and can provide a very cost-effective solution for works that would otherwise be very difficult, expensive, and disruptive.
Deep Foamjection Applications
Deep Foamjection can offer an ideal means of helping to repair structures that would be a serious issue to completely replace. Just like how it is usually far cheaper to properly repair concrete than to lay down a brand new layer, the same principles apply here. Deep Foamjection is often used as part of soil stabilization and void filling works across residential and commercial properties. It is perhaps best known for sea wall repairs although you’ll find that these tend to be the more newsworthy applications! The vast majority of Deep Foamjection works take place on everyday projects that need a long term solution to problems that would otherwise grow rapidly worse.
How Does it Work?
This process basically works by looking to strengthen and bind the soil as well as lift any wilted surface concrete. It used to be the case that ‘concrete was only ever as good as the soil’ but Deep Foamjection allows for this longtime issue to be addressed as well. Foam materials allow for a much more precise application that in expert hands can deliver a genuinely rock-solid foundation that ought to last for many decades. It is by no means as simple of just patching up problems beneath the surface as the objective must always be to deliver a uniform, level, stable end result. When applied professionally this foam should be strong enough to lift surface structures as required — and this is where the quality of the engineers really does matter! You’ll need a carefully measured amount of suitably mixed foam to lift heavier surfaces.
Advantages of Deep Foamjection
The most important advantage is that these works will provide a substantial upgrade compared to traditional concrete lifting methods. You can expect your ground to be much stronger to support both current structures and planned surface building projects. It will effectively repair and reinforce existing soils in a way that makes them considerably more suitable for weight-bearing than before. Other secondary advantages of Deep Foamjection would include:
* Foam fills voids and fissures by following the path of least resistance
* Entirely non-disruptive to soils and does not cause unnecessary displacement
* Removes below surface water and prevents them from returning
* Substantially enhances load-bearing capacity
* Uses extremely strong foam products that expand to perfectly fit all crevasses and cracks
* Does not cause chemical damage or disruption to the ground
Final Thoughts
Always look for concrete repair services that can incorporate Deep Foamjection techniques into their work. These techniques are highly adaptable and can be used for a wide variety of applications. From sunken parking lots through to damaged walls, steps, seawalls, and much more, Deep Foamjection treatments tend to offer the best long term solution.
