Resin Injection
Concrete Injection – Resin Solution
Concrete resin injection is a highly effective and efficient technique for addressing subsidence in structures. This innovative technique involves injecting a specially formulated resin into cracks or voids within the concrete. As the injected material solidifies, it creates a strong bond between the affected sections, thereby restoring the structural integrity and strength of the concrete.
Ideal for various applications, from residential to commercial structures and infrastructure, concrete resin injection is a minimally invasive solution.

Understanding the Causes of Concrete Cracks
The Underlying Reasons for Concrete Subsidence
Concrete, despite its robustness, is susceptible to cracking, which can compromise the structural integrity and aesthetics of buildings and infrastructure. Understanding the root causes of these cracks is crucial in selecting the right repair method, such as Teretek® for concrete injection.
Moreover, the impact varies depending on the type of ground involved. When the ground undergoes changes, building subsidence becomes a prevalent concern. In such cases, foundations or footings lose their support and sink due to the weakened ground.
Soil Types
Moisture levels in the soil affect reactive clays as they expand and contract.
Oversaturated clays lose their strength resulting in footing subsidence. In loosely packed soils, such as sand and silt, the fine particales in the soil can wash away causing the footing to settle.
Tree Roots
Neighbouring trees and shrubs absorb water using their roots causing movement in the soil as it soaks up moisture in the ground.
Footing Systems
Poor foundation design or inadequate compaction of soil during construction results in movement of the structure as it settles.
Excess Water
Burst or cracked water pipes including blocked sewage and rain gutters can oversaturate clay soils or wash fine particles from sand and silt soils and cause footings to subside.
Extreme or Seasonal Weather
Natural disasters such as flooding, drought and earthquakes affect soil moisture levels in particular clay resulting in excessive foundation movement.
Renovation or Construction
Vibration caused by nearby construction activity such as drilling or piling, or heavy road traffic causes soil particles to shift and settle, resulting in ground subsidence.

What is concrete injection?
Concrete injection, often employed by Mainmark, involves injecting a specially formulated resin or grout into cracks or voids within subsided concrete structures. This resin injection processs strengthens and re-levels the compromised areas, restoring the structural integrity of the concrete. Mainmark’s unique product, Teretek®, is a notable example, offering a non-invasive, efficient solution for sinking concrete repair.
How long does concrete injection last?
The longevity of concrete injection repairs, especially when using Mainmark’s Teretek® technology, is significant. These repairs are designed to be durable and long-lasting. The exact lifespan can vary based on the environment and the specific conditions of the site, but they typically offer a long-term solution, often lasting several decades.
How much does concrete injection cost?
The cost of concrete injection varies depending on several factors, such as the extent of the damage, accessibility of the crack, the type of resin used, and the size of the project. Mainmark provides customised solutions, and costs are typically calculated after a thorough assessment of the specific needs of each project. Generally, it is a cost-effective alternative to more extensive repair methods.
How do you inject concrete cracks?
Mainmark injects concrete cracks using a process that involves drilling small holes into the affected area and then injecting the resin under controlled pressure. Teretek® resin is used for its expansive properties, which fill and seal the cracks effectively. The process is precise and designed to cause minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
