We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our recent project:
Project Name: Bridge Abutment Grouting
Project Number: 240079
Completion Date: February 12, 2025
Location: Squamish, British Columbia
Project Overview:
The project involved abutment grouting of a culvert located beneath a railway bridge. The primary objectives were to fill existing voids and stabilize the surrounding soil to ensure the structural integrity of the railway infrastructure.
Materials and Methods:
To achieve optimal results, we utilized a two-component rigid polyurethane foam system. This material is specifically formulated to increase the bearing capacity of the ground beneath foundations. It is ideal for lifting concrete slabs, filling voids, and stabilizing soil.
This foam quickly after application, typically reaching 80-90% of its full strength within 15 minutes. It can be injected in wet environments and bonds effectively with both soil and concrete, making it suitable for our project's requirements.
Execution:
Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the site to identify all voids and areas requiring stabilization. We then strategically injected the foam into the targeted zones. The rapid setting time of the foam allowed for efficient progress, minimizing disruption to the railway operations.
Outcome:
Upon completion, the culvert and surrounding soil exhibited significant improvement in stability. The voids were effectively filled, and the abutment's structural integrity was enhanced, ensuring the continued safe operation of the railway bridge.
Conclusion:
This project underscores our commitment to utilizing advanced materials and techniques to maintain and improve critical infrastructure. The successful application of foam in this context highlights its effectiveness in geotechnical grouting applications.
