The chemical grout was injected directly under the slab to compress the top layer of soil while stabilizing the slab. The quick cure time of the chemical grout allowed the area to be able to support loads almost immediately.

All operations were performed under the observation of the engineer of record. Efficient planning & coordination was key to overcoming the challenges & limitations. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”37″ ][cs_element_row _id=”38″ ][cs_element_column _id=”39″ ][cs_element_image _id=”40″ ][cs_element_image _id=”41″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”42″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”43″ ][cs_element_image _id=”44″ ][cs_element_image _id=”45″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”46″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
