Water Control & Erosion Mitigation
Water is one of the most significant threats to man-made infrastructure. Fluctuating moisture levels, flooding events, tidal changes, and leaking joints can wash out supporting soils — leading to erosion, settlement, and structural distress.
At RaiseRite, we control water at its source. Through precision polyurethane and grout injection, we seal cracks, create subsurface barriers, and stabilize surrounding soils — without excavation or major disruption.
Additional infiltration into storm and sanitary systems can increase operational costs and strain infrastructure. Effective water control protects structural integrity while reducing long-term maintenance expenses.
Applications:
Curtain Walls / Grout Curtains – Waterproofing and environmental protection, including spill containment
Crack Repair – Sealing cracks and joints to block water infiltration
Erosion Prevention – Protecting soils against washout from subsurface water movement
Culverts & Storm Drains – Mitigating infiltration and joint failure
Seawalls & Waterfront Infrastructure – Stabilizing soils and preventing loss of support
RaiseRite supports Municipalities • DOTs • General Contractors • Industrial Owners • Geotechnical & Civil Engineers • Specialty Contractors with targeted, non-excavation solutions.
Key Benefits:
Controls subsurface water movement and seepage
Reduces erosion, soil loss, and settlement risk
Mitigates infiltration from storm drains and culverts
Protects seawalls and waterfront infrastructure
Supports environmental and spill containment requirements
Minimizes disruption and downtime
Crack Repair
Cracks and construction joints allow water to infiltrate concrete structures, leading to soil washout, void formation, and progressive deterioration.
Specialized polyurethane and acrylate grouts are injected into gaps, joints, and cracks to block water infiltration and stabilize surrounding soils.
- Expanding polyurethane seals larger cracks and active water flow
- Low-viscosity acrylate grouts penetrate fine fissures and hairline cracks
- Adjustable reaction times allow adaptation to site-specific conditions
- Prevents continued erosion and structural degradation
Erosion Prevention
Subsurface water movement can wash out fine soils beneath slabs, pavements, embankments, and foundations. Over time, this erosion creates hidden voids and reduces structural support.
Targeted injection fills voids and stabilizes surrounding soils, preventing further washout and restoring load-bearing capacity.
- Stabilizes soils impacted by water migration
- Fills voids created by erosion
- Reduces risk of settlement and structural movement
- Extends service life of infrastructure assets
Culverts & Storm Drains
Leaking joints, pipe separations, and deteriorated connections allow water to escape into surrounding soils — accelerating erosion and creating voids around drainage structures.
Precision injection seals infiltration points and reinforces supporting soils, protecting the integrity of the drainage system.
- Stops active infiltration at joints and penetrations
- Prevents soil migration and sinkhole development
- Stabilizes culverts without excavation
- Reduces long-term maintenance and repair costs
Seawalls & Waterfront Infrastructure
Wave action, fluctuating water levels, and hydrostatic pressure can erode soils behind seawalls and sheet pile systems. As soils migrate, voids develop and structural support is reduced.
Targeted grout and polyurethane injection fills eroded areas, seals seepage pathways, and restores stability.
- Fills voids caused by soil washout
- Seals infiltration behind walls and sheet pile interlocks
- Stabilizes soils to prevent further erosion
- Protects waterfront assets from settlement and structural failure
Curtain Walls / Grout Curtains
Subsurface water migration can erode supporting soils, transport contaminants, and compromise structural integrity. Curtain walls — also known as grout curtains — create a vertical subsurface barrier that intercepts and redirects groundwater flow.
Precision-injected grout forms a continuous underground cutoff, helping control seepage and protect adjacent infrastructure.
- Intercepts and redirects groundwater movement
- Reduces soil erosion caused by subsurface flow
- Supports environmental containment and spill mitigation
- Protects foundations, tanks, and below-grade structures
- Provides targeted waterproofing without full excavation
Water Control
Environmental Impact
Full waterproofing systems often require excavation, membrane installation, drainage replacement, and significant material volumes.
RaiseRite’s targeted injection approach addresses the leak directly — using minimal material and no excavation.
Summary: Up to 90–98% lower carbon impact and approximately 90% faster completion compared to traditional full waterproofing methods.
Replacing eroded soils with precision-injected polyurethane foam stabilizes foundations and guards against future washout — extending the service life of critical infrastructure.
