Chemical grouting easily improves soil conditions
In subject area of building and construction, like in many other industries, there has been a steady flow of innovations over the years. Methods have been tweaked, machinery has been upgraded and new materials have been developed. However, none of these could eliminate the fact that the success of a building project hinges in large parts on the soil it is grounded in. This challenge can be addressed with chemical grouting, a method designed to adjust and level the soil characteristics of a given site in order to achieve usable conditions. In that matter RASCOR with it’s product line RASCOflex has all the products and the knowhow you need in order to have a successful grouting process.
Chemical grouting paves the way to growth and development
Of course, preparing the ground is not exactly a new idea. It is something that has always been done in various degrees and it literally became a figure of speech. However, in earlier times, the term did not mean altering the characteristics of soil. This is the change that chemical grouting has enabled. By that, bold new projects have been developed that would have been much more difficult to achieve previously. Moreover, RASCOR provides you with products designed and created especially for usage under a lot of pressure, such as bridges, pillars or underneath buildings.
How chemical grouting benefits construction work
Any construction that is intended to bear loads of any kind must have solid footing. Moreover, as the soil is a living, breathing organism, that footing must be able to withstand many outside impacts. Chemical grouting makes the ground more resistant to such impacts as it binds the soil, fills cavities within the ground and thus provides stability to it. This aims at protecting the structures set into the soil, regardless of their nature. RASCOR, as a company specialized in waterproofing systems, has developed polyurethane-based products, for grouting various kinds of ground.
Areas of application for chemical grouting
In essence, all construction projects are in need of a certain amount of waterproofing for their foundations. Chemical grouting is thus used for many construction works. It is particularly beneficial for heavy structures as the likes of underground refurbishment of buildings. In that field, lances for injections of polyurethane or other products can be drilled directly into the foundation. Proper grouting of the ground under these circumstances is an essential safety factor.
Customized options for chemical grouting
A look at the varying climate conditions illustrates that construction work faces different challenges depending on location. This means that methods and measures must be adapted accordingly. For chemical grouting, RASCOR offers various compounds made to suit individual requirements. In many cases, polyurethanes are the best choice as they are capable of both binding the soil and filling any cavities or fissures that may exist. Thanks to their chemical characteristics, they will penetrate the entire structure down to the ground. Thereby, they create a solid block that cannot be affected by outside influences.
