In the last years in civil engineering, mining and other fields, grouting with chemical materials (alone or in combination with other methods like e.g. anchoring) prooved to be an effective solution of various types of geotechnical problems, such as:
  • stopping of water flows through water dams or flood dams
  • stabilization of landslides, slopes, roads and railroads
  • restoration of damaged buildings in flood areas - constructions, bridges, bridge piles, banks, retaining walls, damaged dams
  • stabilization of cliffs
  • remediation of environmental accidents - leakage of contaminants
  • restoration of mine pits, mine workings and gas penetrations
  • stopping of water inflows into underground constructions, tunnels and etc.
  • restoration of damaged buildings - reinforcement of foundations, subsoil and mansonry
  • reparation of damaged insulation of underground constructions
Examples of application of polyurethane resins in geotechnics are presented below:
