Stopping the subsidence of a historic building in Vilnius Old Town

The building in the Old Town of Vilnius had significant subsidence problems. It was caused by the presence of technogenic soil with a mixture of organic materials and constructional waste under the foundation. Foundations were very easily affected by all outside water damage throughout the years.

Despite consulting various experts over an extended period, none of the provided solutions effectively halted the building’s subsidence to a satisfactory degree. The building’s inclusion on the Heritage protection list constrained options for minimizing disturbance. Consequently, the customer turned to URETEK for its proven, non-disruptive geopolymer injection solution, ideal for older buildings or those with limited accessibility.

The job was done in two days. During that time no interruption to customer day to day opearation was made. URETEK reached all the required goals and the building could be operational again without any limitations or worries of its further subsidence.
