BUILDING STABILIZATION

Our mission is to, through injection-compaction/pressure grouting, be the trusted solution for distressed structures requiring foundation stabilization and jacking, as well as stabilization of on the ground floor slabs. Secondly, to address geotechnical concerns through soil improvement, stabilization of embankments and reparation of dams. 

Through our commitment to precision, cleanliness, and professionalism, every project is executed to the highest quality, ensuring results that are as sound as they are seamless.

Void Filling under Surface Beds

When ground floors sag due to subsidence, void filling offers an effective and non-invasive solution. Small core holes are drilled through the floor slab, typically spaced 3-5 meters apart. Grout is then pressure-pumped into the underlying fill, compacting weak soil and filling any voids.

This method is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than breaking up floors, replacing the fill material, and recasting the slab — restoring stability with minimal disruption. In most cases buildings can remain occupied while we work.
