Soil consolidation
Select the technique for grading, porosity and the presence of water. Low viscosity assists delivery but does not demonstrate penetration throughout the required zone.
CONSOLIDATION AND SOIL WATER BARRIERS
SoilConsolid
Low-viscosity, water-reactive PU resin for soil consolidation and creating water barriers. Adding SoilConsolid CAT allows the reaction time to be adjusted.
| Product / pump | PU resin + CAT; delivery through a 1K pump |
|---|---|
| Resin / mixture viscosity | 25 mPa·s at 20°C |
| Resin density | 1.10 g/cm³ at 20°C |
| Reaction requirement | Water or moisture in the injection zone |
| Application temperature | Minimum +5°C |
Technical data
Read values together with the temperature, material state and test conditions.
| Resin / CAT viscosity at 20°C | 25 / 20 mPa·s |
|---|---|
| Resin / CAT density at 20°C | 1.10 / 0.97 g/cm³ |
| 2% CAT by volume — 20 ml/l of resin | Start 2 min; end 3 min |
| 1% CAT by volume — 10 ml/l of resin | Start 5 min; end 6 min |
| 0.5% CAT by volume — 5 ml/l of resin | Start 9 min; end 11 min |
| Strength after 6 weeks | Compressive 12 MPa; flexural 2 MPa |
Reaction times refer to a test at 20°C with 10% water. These are test conditions, not water to be added to the pump tank. The TDS does not describe the full specimen formulation and test method alongside the strength results; do not attribute these values directly to the soil.
- Storage and shelf life
- +10 to +30°C; 12 months in the original, unopened packaging.
Applications and selection criteria
First establish the repair objective, substrate condition, presence of water and joint movement.
Water barriers in soil
Horizontal or vertical zones limiting flow require a plan for continuity, staging and assessment of the result. Select the injection point arrangement after analysing the soil.
Application conditions and limitations
Selection requires assessment of soil, water, voids and loads. Resin specimen parameters are not the capacity of the strengthened soil. Confirm injection extent, quantity and effect through a trial and the adopted monitoring programme; a pressure increase alone does not confirm completion. The material requires water to react. In dry conditions, first establish the application conditions; a higher catalyst dose alone does not replace this assessment.
How the material behaves
Requires contact with water or moisture; temperature and water quantity affect the reaction. Cured filling for consolidation; do not assign expansion-joint flexibility.

Preparation and application
Work sequence after assessing the structure and selecting the method. Full requirements are given in the product instructions.
Analyse the soil and objective
Distinguish between stabilisation and creating a water barrier. Determine available space, flow paths and the monitoring method.
Mix the resin with CAT
Select catalyst dosage by volume relative to the resin. TDS selection range: up to 5% CAT; confirm the dose through a trial, without interpolating unspecified times.
Inject with a 1K pump
Start at the lowest practicable pressure that provides flow. Observe quantity, reaction and soil behaviour; do not increase pressure without assessing the material path.
Verify the result and clean the system
Link completion checks to the task objective. Protect the resin supply from moisture. Select cleaning for the product and equipment before material cures in the system.
From selection to application
Choose the instructions for your task and calculate material quantities using clearly defined assumptions.
Product documentation
Data, application instructions and safety documents for the supplied material.
Preparing for safe work
Before use, read the current documentation for all supplied components. Select protective equipment, ventilation and cleaning methods appropriate to the material and equipment.
Discuss your project conditions
Prepare a description of the substrate, water, geometry and expected result. Let us select the material and delivery method.
