Ram Jack Southeast was tasked with concrete a quadruple box culvert stabilization, a crucial component of a highway construction project in Northeast Florida. This culvert had begun to experience significant settlement issues, threatening the completion and stability of the highway intended to span over it.

Challenge

Situated in a remote location beneath what was to become a bustling four-lane highway, the culvert required urgent intervention. The sinking was primarily due to soil erosion exacerbated by excessive rain and stormwater runoff. The key challenge was to stabilize the culvert swiftly to prevent delays in the highway construction schedule and ensure the safety of the future roadway.

Solution

To address this, Ram Jack Southeast employed a geotechnical solution involving the injection of NCFI’s Strata-Fill™ 24-039 geotechnical polyurethane. This method was particularly suited to the remote location due to its minimal logistical footprint. The polyurethane injection effectively compacted and stabilized the soil, lifted the structure where necessary, and filled voids to re-establish soil connectivity.

Implementation

The project unfolded over four days, a timeline that was critical to align with the overall schedule of the highway construction. Ram Jack’s team, adhering to the highest safety standards, performed the injections with precision. This quick and effective response was pivotal in preventing any further construction delays.

Impact

The stabilization process ensured that the culvert was fully secured and protected against future erosion, facilitating the timely completion of the highway. The strategic use of Strata-Fill™ 24-039 not only addressed the immediate stabilization needs but also bolstered the long-term durability of the highway infrastructure.

Conclusion

This project underscored the effectiveness of Ram Jack Southeast’s technical and operational expertise, and the reliability of NCFI’s polyurethane products in managing critical infrastructure challenges. The successful stabilization of the culvert was crucial for the continuation and completion of the highway project, highlighting the importance of rapid, innovative solutions in construction and geotechnical engineering.
