PLY and its manufacturing partner HMI, offer a variety of products to fit your project needs. Over 60 years of collective experience gives us the insights to develop innovative products and remedies to most soil stabilization and void filling issues utilizing commercial foam.
Our engineering team relies on advanced technologies to evaluate all potential projects. A complete understanding of the problem will allow for a customized solution. Whether our recommended solution is a shelf foam product or demands a custom foam, allow our engineers to review your needs and recommend the benefits of a commercial foam application.
Vectorial System Analysis
Having a complete understanding of conditions above and below the surface is important to design an effective repair strategy. It is also important to consider how soils and moisture behaved that caused the failure. Knowing these details can guide the types of materials that should be used, where to put the materials and estimate how much material will be necessary. Not incorporating this engineering knowledge into a repair strategy could lead to insufficient repairs.
Our Engineering support team has access to the systems necessary for this sophisticated evaluation. Allow our team to help you!
THE BOX IN RED SHOWS 4 THOUSAND M2 OF SURFACE THAT PRESENT DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENTS GREATER THAN 8CM, THIS SURVEY WAS CARRIED OUT IN 2 HOURS OF WORK, ACQUIRING 4 BILLION POINTS.
High Frequency Microwave Analysis
The study of High Frequency Microwave, allows to know the surface strata of the soil. 10,000 million signals per second bounce off the sub-floor, pavement, dirt and interior layers of concrete and masonry structures. Microwaves are measured and compared to mathematical models; The analysis of the data it generates allows to visualize and analyze the characteristics of these elements, and determine the thicknesses.
Finite Element Modeling Examples
After a Geophysical analysis is completed, modeling can be done to anticipate how the improvements will behave. Models can be executed to demonstrate how a surface was behaving prior to repair and also for how it is expected to behave after repairs are made. Similar models can show how a structure will behave with or without repair in a seismic event.
