Advanced Protection Against Soil Liquefaction

Groundworks’ patented Liquelock™ process fortifies soil, providing essential liquefaction mitigation that minimizes risks for commercial, industrial, and government projects. Our unique polyurethane injection strengthens and stabilizes foundations, reducing the impact of seismic activity and ensuring structural stability.

Cutting-Edge Liquefaction Mitigation with Liquelock™

Our Liquelock™ process injects polyurethane into targeted soil layers, where it expands to reinforce and densify the ground. This enhanced structure prevents soil displacement and keeps foundations stable, even under seismic stress. Liquelock™ is an adaptable solution for all soil types, creating a fortified base ready to resist liquefaction and ground movement.

Recognizing the Need for Liquefaction Mitigation

Properties in seismic zones or with loose soil are highly susceptible to liquefaction. Identifying risks early allows for proactive measures that protect structural integrity.

  • Soil with High Water Content: Saturated soils are at higher risk during seismic activity.
  • Loose or Non-Coherent Soil Layers: Non-cohesive soils lack the stability needed in earthquake-prone areas.
  • Previous Soil Shifting or Settlement: Indications of soil movement suggest vulnerability.
  • Proximity to Seismic Fault Lines: Properties near fault lines face increased liquefaction risks.
  • Infrastructure with Heavy Loads: Industrial and government facilities with high loads require added stability.

Benefits to Liquefaction Mitigation

Groundworks’ Liquelock™ process offers comprehensive soil stabilization to protect against liquefaction, enhancing resilience for commercial, industrial, and government infrastructure.

  • Seismic Stability: Liquelock™ reinforces soil, counteracting liquefaction during seismic events.
  • Minimal Operational Disruption: The injection process is swift, allowing for continued use of facilities.
  • Immediate, Durable Results: Polyurethane injection strengthens soil layers quickly, creating long-lasting stability.
  • Custom-Fit for Any Soil Type: Tailored injection patterns adapt to site-specific soil conditions.
  • Ideal for High-Load Applications: Reinforces soil beneath heavy infrastructure, ensuring stability.

Products We Use To Fix Liquefaction Mitigation

Polyurethane Injection (LiqueLock™ Process)

What We Do

Our high-density polyurethane is injected beneath foundations to stabilize the soil, filling voids and reconnecting displaced soil layers. This quick-curing solution provides immediate structural support without the need for extensive excavation.

How It Works

Polyurethane is precisely injected at critical points to re-establish soil connectivity and reinforce foundation stability. It quickly expands to fill gaps and bind loose soil, creating a dependable support system under the structure.
