Our approach
How Hengxiang Hongye Performs Remediation
Through our non-destructive and controllable patented technology, the weak soil layer of the holding layer is consolidated as a whole, and the consolidated and reinforced foundation soil forms a composite foundation, whose bearing capacity value can reach nearly three times of the original bearing capacity, and well support the upper load.
- 01Drilling
Bore holes in the affected area with a diameter of 6–10 mm.
- 02Injection
Inject a specialized inorganic material.
- 03Solidification
The material rapidly solidifies with soil, filling voids and stabilizing the ground.
- 04Re-balancing
Lift and reinforce the foundation until re-leveling is achieved.
