Ground Stabilisation

DWG Infraco provides soil or ground stabilisation products and services that restore the ground’s integrity to clients across the UK. With our high-quality products and trained personnel, DWG provide solutions to subsidence issues and soil improvement in various infrastructures such as roads, commercial and private buildings, concrete slabs, embankments, rivers, canals and reservoirs.

Subsidence issues are a result of weakened grounds under infrastructures, which may have been initiated by the formations of the ground, compaction, and foundation. In some instances, the surrounding trees can extract or absorb water and moisture from the soils, which dries them out and cause shrinkage, destabilising the ground by loosening it and creating voids with the effect of groundwater and erosion.

Soil Stabilisation

Soil improvement methods have advanced over the last few decades from simple weight loading (surcharging), and vertical drains to deep soil mixing. Therefore, there is a shift from conventional methods, which are better suited to new builds and require open space (very high overhead) access and time, which is not cost-effective for existing infrastructure/facilities.

DWG use a range of Georesin and Bacel hard foams offering various predetermined strengths to meet the design needs, which provide a more accurate and durable result. The materials delivered create high compressive strength with good flowability, penetrating readily into voids between soil particles before curing. The expansion and compressive strength of the materials is a fully controlled process, depending on the foundation and ground type required, as all projects have different requirements.
