Cut-Off Wall Construction

What is Cut-Off Wall Construction?

Cut-off wall construction involves creating impermeable underground barriers that block groundwater migration and prevent soil erosion. Using trenchless polymer injection, cut-off walls are installed without open excavation, protecting infrastructure from water infiltration and foundation instability.

Problems Solved

  • Groundwater migration causing erosion or instability
  • Seepage through levees, dams, and embankments
  • Soil loss beneath structures from water infiltration
  • Cracking or displacement in walls, foundations, and subgrades
  • High costs and risks from traditional excavation methods

Watertight Barriers for Long-Term Groundwater Control

Cut-off wall construction with polymer injection provides a trenchless method to stop groundwater migration and protect infrastructure. These solutions are fast, durable, and cost-effective compared to traditional methods.

Restore Stability to Critical Backfill Zones

  • Blocks groundwater infiltration and soil erosion
  • Creates watertight, long-lasting underground barriers
  • Requires no open excavation or extended downtime
  • Protects infrastructure foundations and embankments
