MITIGATING LIQUEFACTION
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FROM PURLIFT® INC.
At Purlift® Inc., we specialize in advanced polymer injection technologies designed to tackle complex geotechnical challenges, including the mitigation of soil liquefaction. Our solutions provide enhanced ground stability, protecting infrastructure and communities from the devastating effects of seismic events.
WHAT IS LIQUEFACTION?
Liquefaction occurs when saturated soil temporarily loses its strength and stiffness due to an applied stress, such as an earthquake, causing it to behave like a liquid. This phenomenon can lead to significant ground deformation, threatening the integrity of structures built on or within the affected soil.

COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
Purlift® works closely with engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure optimal outcomes for every project.
HOW PURLIFT’S POLYMER SOLUTIONS ADDRESS LIQUEFACTION
1
SOIL STABILIZATION
Our polymer injection systems densify the soil by expanding and hardening once injected. This process increases soil strength and stability, significantly reducing its susceptibility to liquefaction during seismic activity.
2
VOID FILLING
Liquefaction often results from voids or gaps within the soil structure. Purlift’s polymers effectively fill these voids, limiting soil particle movement and enhancing stability during seismic events.
3
WATER RESISTANCE
Polymers used by Purlift® are hydrophobic, repelling water and preventing soil saturation—a critical factor in reducing liquefaction risks.
4
FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY
Our solutions are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each site. Polymers conform to the unique contours of the soil, providing a custom solution for any environment or soil condition.
5
RAPID DEPLOYMENT
Purlift’s polymer injection technology is quick and minimally invasive, allowing for efficient application even in emergency scenarios. This makes it ideal for both preventative measures and post-disaster recovery.
