Marine and Coastal

On the St. Pete Pier seawall project, URETEK's injections went as deep as 12 feet into the sand beneath the wall's footing specifically to permeate the soil and stop future loss from tidal action, not just fill the void that existed on the day of the repair. In North Carolina, injection tubes were driven to 20-foot depths along a barrier island seawall for the same reason.

The underlying process is the same, small-hole polymer injection, but the pattern is designed around each structure. On the Ohio River bulkhead repair in Kentucky, work depended on summer pool conditions to get safe diving access to an eight-inch hole 12 feet below the waterline. On the Savannah, Georgia bulkhead project, the plan had to account for an active tourist terminal and an occupied hotel across the street, a very different constraint than a river port authority's diving schedule.

In most cases, yes, since there is no sheet pile replacement, no dewatering, and no extended closure of the waterfront. The Savannah bulkhead project was completed in just two days, and the La Jolla, California coastal repair was finished four days ahead of schedule.

Usually, yes. The Savannah, Georgia project was designed specifically around an active river cruise terminal that could not stop operating. In St. Petersburg, the seawall work was completed as part of an active pier construction project without stopping the broader site.

Crews can mobilize on short notice. On the La Jolla, California coastal restoration, URETEK crews mobilized within three days of being called and completed the work four days ahead of the original schedule.
