«TYTUL» BUSINESS CENTER LTD.

The entrance area is the “face” of any business center. For the TITUL Business Center, the appearance of cracks was not only an aesthetic issue but also a sign of foundation instability, requiring immediate engineering intervention to prevent further separation of the extension from the main building.

Reason for contacting: “Break” of structures and cracks

The business center administration has recorded progressive defects:

• Deep cracks appeared at the junction of the entrance area and the main body of the building.
• The presence of vertical and inclined cracks in the brickwork of load-bearing walls.

Technical Inspection: Double Impact on the Base

During the technical audit, specialists identified a classic cause of deformations in urban facilities:

1. Man-made factor:A prolonged leak due to a nearby utility line break caused the soil to become waterlogged.
2. Geotechnical factor:The backfill soil at the base of the extension’s strip foundations was initially insufficiently compacted. Exposure to moisture caused the loose base to lose its load-bearing capacity, leading to foundation subsidence under the weight of the structures.

Technical solution: Deep Lifting

To solve the problem, the technology was chosengeopolymer injection Deep Lifting, which allows compaction of the soil directly under the foundation base without carrying out excavation work.

Why is this solution optimal for a business center?

Working in a busy office building environment imposes severe constraints. GeoResin technology ensured:

• Preservation of landscaping:We didn’t have to break up the asphalt or paving slabs in front of the entrance. All work was carried out through holes just 12–16 mm in diameter.
• Implementation speed:The stabilization of 17.3 linear meters of the foundation was completed in the shortest possible time, eliminating financial losses from downtime for the business center.
• Operational safety:The building continued to operate as usual. Visitors and employees were able to use the entrance without hindrance.

The result of the work performed

As a result of applying the methodDeep Lifting:

1. The soil under the strip foundation is compacted to standard values, which eliminates the risk of repeated subsidence.
2. The process of crack opening has been stopped, and conditions have been created for cosmetic repairs to the façade.
3. GeoResin geopolymer has high chemical resistance and is not subject to erosion, ensuring foundation stability for decades to come.

The case of the TITUL Business Center confirms that extensions most often suffer from differential loads and poorly compacted backfill. Timely soil stabilization using geopolymer injection is the most effective way to “tie” an extension to the main building, eliminating the root cause of the deformation.
