What is Chemical Grouting Waterproofing?

Chemical grouting waterproofing is the process of injecting specialized chemical compounds, such as polyurethane or epoxy resins, into cracks, joints or voids in concrete and masonry structures. These compounds are designed to seal gaps and create a water-resistant barrier, preventing further moisture infiltration. Unlike traditional waterproofing methods, chemical grouting offers the advantage of being able to treat smaller cracks, crevices and joints that are hard to reach or repair with conventional materials.

The primary benefit of this method is its ability to stop water leakage quickly and effectively while also strengthening the structure. Once injected, the grout bonds tightly to the surrounding surfaces, creating a flexible, durable seal that resists water pressure, chemicals and even temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications of Chemical Grouting Waterproofing

Chemical grouting is an ideal solution for a wide range of waterproofing needs, including but not limited to:

1. Basement and Underground Waterproofing

Basements are particularly susceptible to water seepage due to their location below ground level. Chemical grouting offers an effective solution to seal cracks and joints in basement walls and floors, preventing water ingress and damage to valuable assets stored below.

2. Lift Pits and Elevator Shafts

Lift pits and elevator shafts are often prone to water leaks, which can cause long-term damage to both the mechanical parts and the surrounding structure. Chemical grouting creates a protective barrier that prevents water from reaching sensitive components, ensuring smooth and safe operations.

3. Tunnel and Metro Construction Waterproofing

Chemical grouting plays a crucial role in tunnel construction and metro system waterproofing. Whether sealing cracks in underground tunnels or waterproofing metro station walls, this technique provides durable, long-lasting protection against water ingress in high-pressure environments.

4. Water Tank and Reservoir Leak Sealing

Water tanks and reservoirs are often exposed to high water pressure and environmental stress, which can lead to cracks and leaks over time. Using chemical grouting, we seal these cracks to maintain water quality, protect structural integrity, and prevent costly repairs.

5. Crack Repair in Concrete Slabs and Walls

Concrete structures, such as slabs and walls, are vulnerable to cracks due to natural wear and tear or external pressure. Chemical grouting is an excellent solution for repairing these cracks, offering both a strong seal and increased flexibility, making it ideal for areas subject to shifting or settling.

Chemical Grouting Products & Specifications

At EMERGE INFRA, we exclusively use chemical grouts, known for their superior performance in a variety of waterproofing applications. Here’s an overview of their specifications:

  • High Penetration, Low-Viscosity Resins: Capable of filling even the smallest micro-cracks (<0.1mm), ensuring complete crack sealing and preventing water infiltration.
  • Fast-Setting Options: Choose from fast-setting formulations that cure within seconds to minutes, depending on the site’s conditions and the severity of the cracks.
  • Expansion Foam Grouts: These are ideal for void filling and ground stabilization, particularly in soils that need additional support.
  • Superior Adhesion and Flexibility: These grouts offer excellent bonding capabilities, allowing for movement without cracking, ensuring longevity in dynamic environments.
  • Resistance to Chemicals, Water Pressure and Thermal Stress: grouts withstand extreme environmental conditions, including chemical exposure, water pressure and thermal fluctuations.

Chemical Grouting Application Process by EMERGE INFRA

Our expert team follows a systematic approach to ensure precise and efficient chemical grouting waterproofing:

  1. Site Inspection and Crack Assessment
    We begin with a comprehensive inspection of the site to assess the cracks, voids or joints that require treatment. Non-destructive testing techniques are used to evaluate the severity of the damage and determine the most suitable grouting method.
  2. Drilling of Injection Ports
    Once the problem areas are identified, we drill small, strategically placed holes through which the chemical grout will be injected. This ensures that the grout reaches every nook & cranny that requires sealing.
  3. Injection of Chemical Grout
    Using controlled pressure, we inject the chemical grout into the cracks and voids, ensuring thorough penetration and an even distribution of the material.
  4. Monitoring of Grout Flow
    The flow of the grout is carefully monitored to guarantee complete filling of the cracks and gaps, ensuring an airtight seal that will effectively block water from entering.
  5. Post-Injection Testing and Verification
    Once the grout has set, we perform post-injection testing to verify the effectiveness of the seal. We check for any signs of water leakage and ensure that the grouting has been fully successful.
