How Polyurethane Is Used to Repair Seawalls

Polyurethane seawall repair offers many advantages over traditional methods. It allows for a clean approach to bolstering your seawall from a landslide. When properly installed, the polyurethane is quickly injected into voids in the subsurface soil and to avoid major excavation, expensive labor, and costly delays. This environmentally friendly solution can prevent further damage and strengthen your seawall considerably.

How Does Polyurethane Seawall Repair Work?

Polyurethane resin is waterproof and eco-friendly. Our technicians use it to penetrate a seawall when soil erosion allows for water incursion behind the seawall. The resin, injected into half-inch thick bore holes, displaces water, and solidifies loose soil. Polyurethane seawall repair sounds less invasive than sodium silicate. In addition, polyurethane also lasts longer than cement grout, which breaks down over time.
