Structural Cracks & Movement

Tilt, structural cracking and differential settlement are common foundation problems in U.S. high-rise commercial buildings. Soft soil consolidation, adjacent deep excavation, groundwater changes and poor historic fill can cause ongoing movement, leading to building tilt, slab cracking, curtain wall distortion and elevator misalignment. If left untreated, this can develop into severe structural damage, costly repairs, tenant loss and risks to public safety and asset value.

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.

01
Drilling
Bore holes in the affected area with a diameter of 6–10 mm.
02
Injection
Inject a specialized inorganic material.
03
Solidification
The material rapidly solidifies with soil, filling voids and stabilizing the ground.
04
Re-balancing
Lift and reinforce the foundation until re-leveling is achieved.
