Eco-Friendly Sea Wall Repairs

Protecting your shoreline property with the construction of a waterfront barrier such as a sea wall, bulkhead, and/or revetment wall is one option, but not the only one. Sea Wall Repair Network professionals are capable of injecting subgrade “seawalls” beneath the shoreline by permeating the soil with an environmentally safe curtain grouting material SW-RP6. You can trust that our shoreline retaining wall repairs team has the knowledge and experience to fix the compromised sea wall of your waterfront property.

Sea wall and retaining wall repairs are done by systematically injecting either SW-RP1 or SW-RP6 soil stabilization material (depending on soil conditions) deep into the ground which solidifies the existing soil into a single, solid, lightweight mass that is resistant to erosion. This newly formed subgrade curtain sea wall extending across the length of the shoreline prevents further soil migration and washout.

Outdated repair materials such as hydraulic cement, slurry, crushed seashells, and sodium silicate do not address the underlying soil instability that puts unsustainable pressure on your sea wall. The methods are similar to putting a band-aid on an infection. The problem will simply continue to get worse until the sea wall fails completely.

Seawall Stabilisation

SW-RP1 Stabilisation and Leak Repair Material

  • Repairs leaking cracks in the seawall.
  • Stabilisation of surrounding soil.
  • Permanently strengthens and repairs soil damage.
  • Prevents future erosion.
  • Stronger than crystalline bedrock.

Pressure Release Technology

  • Automatically removes any future water that builds up behind seawall (Unchecked water build up causes hydrostatic pressure which cracks and damages even the strongest seawalls).

Structural Repair for Seawall Caps and Panels

  • Employ high-strength epoxy and concrete repair materials.
  • Restores strength and integrity to the structure.

Advanced Permanent Anchoring System

  • Retrofitted to improve on outdated and failed systems.

Seawall Repair

SW-Prevent: Corrosion Inhibitor

Penetrates concrete and inhibits corrosion of steel inside the wall. This material penetrates as vapor to deposit on steel components such as rebar or mesh inside. Corrosion is prevented by creating an insulating layer on the surface of the steel.

SW-Power: Strength Builder

A penetrating material primarily designed to reduce concrete porosity, increase strength and render concrete surfaces resistant to air or water-born chemical damage. SW-Power provides additional protection by supporting ideal pH levels in the concrete to prevent rebar corrosion.

SW-Protect: Surface Protector

Inhibits water penetration in concrete. Surfaces treated with SW-Protect will repel water, dirt, and grime – helping keep your concrete clean and free of mold, stains and discoloration. SW-Protect is not susceptible to UV degradation, providing a durable long-term protection to all porous surfaces.
