SoilTec AG specializes in ground stabilization, injection technology and solutions in specialist foundation engineering. In our blog, we share specialist knowledge, project examples and practical information about stable soils, safe foundations and innovative methods.
The following examples provide an overview of SoilTec AG's successful involvement in numerous construction projects in which ground PUR injection was required. We will be happy to provide you with information on further reference projects.

A foundation with poor load-bearing capacity can lead to considerable damage to the building, such as cracks in the masonry, jamming of windows and doors, sinking corners of the house or leaning of the house.
Subsoil stabilization by injecting synthetic resin (polyurethane or PUR) is the most economical and fastest solution for creating a stable house.
We specialize in ground stabilization using PUR injections and are happy to support you with our professional services.
The aim of our free on-site consultation throughout Switzerland is to assess the subsidence damage to your house, recommend measures to rectify the damage and, if you wish, provide you with a competitive quote for ground PUR injection.
Further information
The most efficient method for stopping building subsidence is to consolidate the subsoil using PUR injections. Here, foaming polyurethane is injected into the foundation substrate over several depth levels, restoring the settlement-free load-bearing capacity of the subsoil.
Further information Injecting polyurethane into the ground beneath the concrete floor slab increases its volume, allowing the house to be raised above a certain level of ground tension.
Further information Increasing the structural load increases the soil pressure under the foundation, which can lead to settlement. The load-bearing capacity is increased by injecting PUR into the foundation so that the additional structural load is supported by the foundation without settling.
Further information Soil PUR injections are used to seal gaps and unwanted leaks in foundation walls against pressing groundwater. The process is also suitable for creating sealing walls and floors so that, for example, pits for new lift underpasses below the groundwater level in existing buildings can be excavated and concreted without a special excavation pit sealing wall and only with open dewatering.
Further information When sinking geothermal boreholes, there is a risk of artesian seepage, where pressurized groundwater rises from the depth of the borehole. By injecting foaming polyurethane at three depth levels around the borehole, a three-stage sealing collar is formed around the borehole in the injection area, which prevents the water from flowing around the sealing point in the borehole and permanently stops the flow of water rising from the depths.
Further information
I would like to thank you for your efforts on the construction site. We very much appreciate the fact that you were able to seal the artesian at short notice.
