Significant foundation wall settlement at Layne Construction's regional office was damaging interior offices and exterior brick. We targeted weak soil layers 5 to 12 feet deep with structural polymer injection, stabilizing the foundation and stopping the settlement at its source.
Project engineers performed soil testing on the subgrade, and Stratalock ran additional dynamic cone penetrometer tests to verify the findings. The results pointed to weak, poorly compacted soil layers between 5 and 12 feet deep. As the foundation settled, damage appeared in the offices inside and the brick walls outside, threatening the long-term structural integrity of the building.
Working alongside the project engineers, Stratalock installed injection tubes at multiple depths along the perimeter of the affected foundation walls. Our specially formulated geotechnical polymer was injected into the weak layers, filling subterranean voids, compacting the soil, and lifting the foundation back to level. The result was a dramatic increase in load-bearing capacity that stopped the settlement and protects against future movement of the building.
