Foundation and Ground Repair in Birmingham
Ground Improvement Birmingham
We provides efficient and effective solutions for foundational support in Birmingham. Resin Injection Technology avoids the need for
excavation by using a ground injection method which improves the strength of the ground beneath foundations.
We do this by injecting materials underneath the current foundations, adding essential ground strength that
can withstand additional loads up to 350kn/m3. For business and property owners in Birmingham, speed and cost
efficiency are very important when it comes to ground improvement. Older methods of ground improvement often
involve excavation and heavy machinery, this is unsuitable for properties in Birmingham due to several reasons.
The busy areas of Birmingham often make excavation very impractical and often expensive. Resin Injection Technology use a modern resin
injection method of ground improvement that does not require excavation. This method is ideal for Birmingham-based
customers that do not want the hassle of heavy machinery on their premises.
Domestic and commercial property owners in Birmingham will also benefit from the fact that there is no need to
vacate the building whilst the ground improvement is taking place. Unlike older methods of ground improvement,
resin injection is non-invasive. The convenience of resin injection ground improvement is cannot be matched.
Business owners will not suffer from loss of revenue due to site closures during the ground improvement
process. Homeowners in Birmingham can benefit from not needing to vacate their homes whilst work is ongoing,
furthermore, the added security of improved foundations greatly reduce the risk of structural issues further
down the line.
Why is Ground Improvement Important?
Resin Injection Technology caters to a variety of project types including commercial and private buildings, commercial warehouses and
more. At Resin Injection Technology , our resin injection process provides invaluable support to projects that need additional ground
support due to increased pressure. Our team of experts focus on providing clients with a far more efficient
method of ground improvement.
Ground improvements are key to avoiding future problems with foundations. Common problems that arise due to
this are:
• Building settlement
• Swelling
• Voids
The problems listed above can have catastrophic implications if not corrected early by proper ground
improvement. Early detection and proper planning can save the need for issues such as; structural damage,
subsidence or settlement, all of which can be extremely costly to correct. This is why having a strong
structural base is key for any load bearing surface.
The Solution: A Resin Injection Process
The process used at Resin Injection Technology involves injecting the bearing capacity of the foundation soils with expanding resins.
This is done at a considerable depth which compacts the soil and allows for densification directly under the
building. In turn, this methods avoids the need for a costly excavation.
The savings provided by the use of our Resin Injection are substantial. As well as this we also provide a much
faster alternative to piling and underpinning. The scale of the job becomes greatly reduced when customers use
Resin Injection with Resin Injection Technology. This allows for customers to benefit from the fact that normal work can continue on
site due to the method of application we use. This method includes the injection of expanding resins into the
foundation soils, and is a far more cost efficient, and disruptive method of ground improvement. Resin Injection Technology ’s focus
on using non-disruptive solutions for ground improvement means that clients in Birmingham can save a significant
amount in costs when compared to older methods of ground improvement.
How it works
Before any ground improvement work is provided by Resin Injection Technology , we carry out a thorough survey of the soil beneath. Our
surveying process includes:
• Depth measurements prior to injection
• Analysis of soil composition for obstacles
Once the soil conditions have been surveyed, it is time for the resin injection. We start by drilling small
holes through the slab or soil and injecting the resin below the foundations. The resin will then bind with
soil beneath and the foundations will rise to the required level.
