Want more information on the Deep Lock® process?

This post features three case studies that highlight the versatility and effectiveness of the Deep Lock® process across a variety of applications.

Deep Soil Stabilization at a Shopping Center

• Location: City Creek Center, Salt Lake City.
• Problem: A trench filled with pea gravel began settling, affecting underground power lines.
• Solution: The trench was stabilized using structural polymers.
• Process: An Alchatek consultant developed an injection plan, and the geotech crew installed 10 injection tubes 30 feet deep, pumping approximately 1 gallon per vertical foot.
• Outcome: The site work was completed in just two days, allowing for the rapid continuation of the construction work.

Deep Soil Stabilization for New Construction

• Location: A commercial construction site.
• Problem: The need to stabilize gravel and soil held in place by sheet pile panels between the panels and the foundation.
• Solution: Structural polymers were used due to their ability to permeate soil and encapsulate gravel into a solid mass.
• Process: The crew injected the polymer to a depth of about 12 feet, grouting to refusal, ensuring the entire layer of soil and gravel was locked in place.
• Outcome: The stabilized soil and gravel provided a solid supportive wall for the foundation when the sheet piles were removed, and the gap filled with cement.

Deep Soil Stabilization at a Two-Story House

• Location: A two-story house in North Carolina, built on poorly compacted fill dirt.
• Problem: The house showed signs of settling, with interior cracks and uneven floors.
• Solution: A structural foam was used for its high-strength, hydro-insensitive properties, ideal for densifying soil and stabilizing foundations.
• Process: 18 injection tubes were installed to depths of 7 feet and 3.5 feet, injecting foam beneath exterior footings and load-bearing interior walls.
• Outcome: The stabilization process not only densified the soil and stopped the settlement but also achieved a half-inch lift both from exterior and interior injections, impressing both the customer and the engineer.

These case studies demonstrate the adaptability and effectiveness of the Deep Lock® process in addressing diverse soil stabilization challenges. From commercial construction sites to residential properties, Deep Lock® provides a reliable and efficient solution for soil stabilization needs.

In the world of soil stabilization and concrete leveling, the choice of materials is as important as the technique used. Alchatek's Deep Lock® process utilizes a range of specialized structural polymers, each designed to cater to specific stabilization needs.

Structural Polymers for Deep Stabilization

Here's an overview of the key polymers used in the Deep Lock® process:

• AP Lift 430:
  This polyurethane foam is adequate for the vast majority of deep soil stabilization jobs. AP Lift 430 is known for its versatility and reliability, making it a go-to choice for standard deep stabilization tasks. It provides a strong, stable, and durable solution for most soil types and conditions.
  
  
• AP Lift 440:
  AP Lift 440 is formulated for jobs where the soil supports structures larger than a single-story house.  This foam supports a bit more weight compared to AP Lift 430, making it suitable for heavier and more demanding applications. It's ideal for projects that require additional strength and stability, particularly in supporting larger buildings or heavier structures.
  
  
• AP Deep Lift 420:
  This is a specialized polyurethane foam used in scenarios where a slight lift is required along with deep soil stabilization. AP Deep Lift 420 is designed to offer slight lifting, soil stabilization, and void-filling capabilities, making it an excellent choice for projects where minor elevation adjustments are necessary along with stabilization. Its unique formulation allows it to address both settlement issues and provide additional support to the foundation or structure.

Technical Support for Product Selection:

Choosing the right polyurethane foam for a specific project can be a complex decision. Alchatek’s technical team is available to assist contractors in selecting the most suitable product for their specific needs. With in-depth knowledge of each product’s properties and the varying demands of different stabilization scenarios, the tech team can provide valuable guidance. This ensures that the chosen foam perfectly aligns with the project requirements, soil conditions, and the desired outcome.
