found that the polymer did densify the soil under the cap and

The Jim McKay 
Competition Pool 
In 2012, management 
noticed cracks in the pool 
deck after the pool had 
been drained for regular 
maintenance. After 
consulting with engineers it 
was discovered that the 
original Shotcrete walls of 
the pool were designed to 
support properly drained 
soils. However, the western 
wall of the pool was under 
the constant hydrostatic 
pressure of the saturated 
soils that surrounded it. 
In order to prevent further 
damage, the fire 
department was called to 
refill the pool. But over the 
next two years, pool tiles 
continued to loosen from
The facility is located 
at the lowest elevation 
level on the entire 
campus. This 
subjected it to 
groundwater runoff 
and increased lateral 
earth pressure on the 
pool. 
The facility is located 
at the lowest elevation 
level on the entire 
campus. This 
subjected it to 
groundwater runoff 
and increased lateral 
earth pressure on the 
pool. 
Water in the soils were 
permeating the pool walls 
and weakening the tile 
mortar bed.
The Solution 
Various options were considered to 
relieve the pool wall of the hydrostatic 
pressure, including: 
oAdding permanent groundwater wells 
around the building perimeter 
oInstalling soil nails 
oInjecting cementitious grout 
oThe Uretek Deep Injection® process
Benefits of the UDI® Process at GMU 
Displaced saturated soil without increasing 
the load like a cementitious grout 
Minimal disturbance compared to other 
options 
Cost-effective 
Fast Results

Limited Access 
Micropiles 
Micro-piles and mini-piles 
are particularly useful in 
restricted access situations 
while offering similar 
performance to 
conventional piles, with 
design loads varying 
between 3 to 500 tons. 
Micro-piles and mini-piles 
are well-adapted to dealing 
with structural settlement, 
underpinning structures or 
supporting new loads in 
congested areas, providing 
support for excavations in 
confined areas and 
resistance to uplift and 
dynamic loading.
