Roadway Repair | Stable Soils of Florida Inc

Roadway Lifting and Leveling with Polyurethane Foam

As underground utilities begin to wear down and leak, eroded soil can create voids and reduce the soil’s load-bearing capacity, potentially causing roadway failure. With polyurethane injections from Stable Soils of Florida Inc, we can quickly repair settlement, leaks, and fill any voids without excavation or disruption to everyday traffic!

With budget cuts weighing on every manager’s mind these days, Our Poly Injection repair process is a viable option to save valuable infrastructures and budget dollars for uses in other areas. When compared to rip-out-and-replace options, ours is incredibly less expensive. And because our material is guaranteed against defects for 10 years, you can be assured that when the job is completed, it will remain worry-free for many years to come.

The Perfect Product For Your Repairs

Poor base and subgrade soils can wreak havoc on a roadway, causing various issues such as cracking, rutting, and severe pavement settlement. The root of the soil degradation could be caused by the following.

Improperly compacted soils under the roadway
Water infiltration through pavement cracks causing soil washout
Roadway widening that did not address soil conditions for new design
Heavier loads than the original design allowed for
Failing sewer systems underneath the pavement cause soil loss

Common Causes Of Road Settlement Issues

Weak soil, which can lead to the formation of voids beneath the pavement, can result from natural and man-made causes, for example, if the original soil composition had loosely-packed materials that were not packed well before construction. No matter the cause, if these road settlement issues are left untreated, they can negatively affect pavement systems. Common problems that arise on roads and highways include broken or separated concrete slabs, faulted joints, subsurface voids, and sloping or inconsistent pavement levels.

Traditional Repair Methods

FDOT, Departments of Public Works, Airport, and other transportation authorities use a wide range of repair methods to maintain their roadways, which include the following.

Asphalt Overlay

Asphalt is the primary material used for roadways due to its reduced cost and flexibility. Hot asphalt is spread over the existing surfaces to repair uneven surfaces and pavement settlements, but how thick the asphalt is will be depends on the condition of the base soil beneath the roadway. If the condition of the base soil is poor, weak, or unstable, the repair will be more likely to fail.

Pressure Grouting

Pressure grouting uses a mixture of water, soil, fly ash, and cement injected under the pavement to fill voids and support any damaged areas. Unlike, Stable Soils of Florida Inc’s polyurethane grout, pressure grouting material has a slow cure time, shrinks, and lacks the strength to support the road for the long term. Similar to the weight of concrete, pressure grouting can add extra weight to an already weak soil condition.

Removal & Replacement

Removal and replacement can take weeks or months to complete. Traffic must be re-routed to repair the area.

Roadway Repair Applications

To increase the load-bearing capacity of the road, Stable Soils of Florida Inc injects structural polymer into small holes drilled through the pavement structure. This material easily flows into voids and weak soil zones and quickly cures into a strong, non-toxic, water-resistant material that lasts for years. Below, we have listed some roadway repair applications!

Stabilization

Stable Soils of Florida Inc helps to stabilize roadways and prevent further settlement through undersealing and void filling! With a combination of sealing and a rapid cure time, we can quickly make repairs and have you back on the road.

Sealing

One of the best ways to stop recurring problems is to seal joints and cracks from water leakage and seepage. If these are left untreated, these cracks can cause further damage and settlement problems! Through our polymer injections, we create a strong, reliable seal!

Void Filling

Florida is no stranger to heavy rains! But this, along with temperature shifts, can create fissures and voids, which in turn can cause potholes, sinkholes, and cracking that can weaken pavements. Using our hydro-insensitive polymer material can drive out any standing water and fill voids while adding density to the soil.
