A major part of our work here at Carolina Seawall Repair By Concrete Uprising involves preventing soil erosion around waterfront properties. As waves and currents beat against the shoreline, the soil can become destabilized, so it may eventually require professional ground stabilization services.
To prevent erosion and keep waterfront properties secure, our team offers ground stabilization injection solutions. If you haven’t heard about these services before, this article will explain how ground stabilization injection works.
The ground stabilization injection process begins with pumping a chemical solution into the soil. This solution contains water, which gets absorbed into clay soils and causes them to swell. The mild swelling will prevent the soil from expanding and contracting as it absorbs and loses water. The chemicals in the solution also contain ions which bond to the clay, altering its properties so that it is unable to bond strongly with water. Furthermore, these ions create a permanent bond with the clay, which prevents the soil from swelling and deflating over time.
As we mentioned above, the purpose of ground stabilization injection is to prevent the ground from swelling. Clay soil can absorb incredible amounts of water, causing shorelines to swell and pose hazards to structures on the affected ground. Our ground stabilization injection process alters the chemical composition of the soil to prevent it from absorbing so much water, which minimizes ground swelling and keeps the soil in place.
If you have questions about our ground stabilization injection services, we encourage you to give us a call to learn more or schedule an appointment today.
