The most common—and often the most expensive and inefficient—methods of stabilization are soil excavation and drilled piers with suspended slabs. These antiquated methods are labor intensive and costly—often taking weeks to complete and prone to significant cost overruns.
Land Stabilizers has spent over thirty years perfecting the high-pressure injection method. Whether using lime, potassium, water or environmentally friendly electrochemical—the injection method has the capability to meet or exceed any geotechnical engineer’s criteria and testing requirement.
Land Stabilizers’ high-pressure injection saves weeks or months in labor, with clients typical experiencing cost savings of up to 50 percent.
How does it work?
- The injection substance is applied through perforated steel tubes.
- Injections normally reach pre-determined depths of 3’ to 15’ in a typical grid arrangement of 5’x 5’ or 2.5’ x 2.5.’ These depths and grid arrangements can be adjusted to meet any engineer recommended specifications.
- As the injection initially flows through open joints and fissures within the soil, the increased pressure gives way to smaller fractures. The injection substance is then able to fully penetrate underground soils.
- Following treatment, the soil samples are collected and analyzed. If necessary, additional injections can be made until samples meet or exceed testing criteria.
- Construction of the building foundation commences following completion of injection.
