Void Filling
Void filling is a technique used to stabilize the subsurface and prevent settlement of structures, resulting from natural or man-made cavities forming in the soil. These voids can be reduced or eliminated using fill such as Portland cement, cementitious and/or chemical grouts, and/or expansive polymers/foams. To perform this work, a drill string or pipe is typically advanced into the void, after which the selected material is pumped into place and allowed to cure.
Typical Applications for Void Filling
- Foundation Support
- Retrofit of Existing Structures/Slab Jacking
- Ground Improvement
- Mitigating Water Seepage
