The Deep Lock® process, a robust and effective method for soil stabilization, requires specialized equipment to ensure precision and efficiency. Here's a breakdown of essential equipment for Deep Lock® soil stabilization in cold weather:

• PMC PH2 Hydraulic Proportioner (or Equivalent):
  Used to inject two-component structural polyurethane foams for Deep Lock® soil stabilization, as well as void filling and slab lifting. The PMC PH2 Hydraulic Proportioner is known for its durability and reliability, using relays and circuit breakers instead of circuit boards to enhance reliability and reduce maintenance issues.
  
  
• MixMaster Pro Injection Gun:
  Specifically manufactured for injecting two-component structural polymers, the MixMaster Pro is designed to handle back pressure effectively.
  
  
• Drum Heaters:
  Drum heaters are employed to maintain the temperature of the materials in 50-gallon drums, ensuring proper viscosity and preventing freezing.
  
  
• Space Heater:
  Utilized to maintain an optimal working temperature in the rig, especially crucial in colder environments.
  
  
• Hilti TE 60 Drill (or Equivalent):
  A powerful drill is essential for creating the necessary openings in the soil for the ground rods.
  
  
• 36-64” Drill Bit:
  Strong enough to penetrate through frozen surfaces, this drill bit is essential.
  
  
• 16-18 Gauge Half Inch Ground Rod Tubing – 10 Foot Sticks:
  These ground rod tubing sticks are integral for the precise delivery of materials during the stabilization process.
  
  
• Ground Rod Driver:
  This tool is used for driving ground rods into the earth. It facilitates the installation of ground rods, making the process safer and faster.
  
  
• Rotary Level and Receivers:
  These tools are vital for measuring surface levels. The rotary level emits a rotating laser beam to create a horizontal plane, while the receiver detects the laser beam over long distances, ensuring accuracy and precision in the stabilization and – if necessary – lifting process.

Each piece of equipment plays a critical role in the Deep Lock® process, ensuring that the soil stabilization and concrete leveling tasks are performed efficiently, accurately, and safely, even in challenging weather conditions. Employing the right tools not only enhances the effectiveness of the process but also contributes to the longevity and stability of the treated structures.
