Injection Hose Installation Methods & Systems

We install specialist injection hose systems for crack repair, curtain grouting, and structural strengthening using resin injection technology.

Passive Injection Hoses

Pre-installed hose systems embedded in cracks that activate when water pressure occurs, automatically injecting resin to seal leaks without manual intervention in inaccessible areas.

Active Injection Systems

Pressure-controlled injection hose networks for systematic crack sealing, allowing staged resin injection into multiple cracks from a single pump system with precise flow control.

Curtain Grouting Hoses

Tube-à-manchette (TAM) systems for creating waterproof resin curtains in soil or rock, used for tunnel waterproofing, dam repairs, and foundation stabilisation applications.

Crack Stitching Integration

Combined crack stitching and injection hose systems that structurally reinforce cracks while simultaneously sealing them with epoxy or polyurethane resins.

Flexible Resin Delivery

Multi-port injection hose manifolds allowing sequential or simultaneous resin delivery to multiple crack locations, optimising injection efficiency in large-scale repairs.

Monitoring & Testing

Pressure monitoring systems integrated with injection hoses to verify complete resin penetration, detect flow resistance, and confirm structural bond quality during injection.

Injection Hose Installation Process

01

Crack Mapping & Planning

Cracks are mapped, depth assessed, and injection hose layout designed to ensure complete resin coverage. Hose spacing and port locations determined based on crack characteristics.

02

Hose Installation

Injection hoses are surface-mounted along crack lines or embedded into drilled channels, secured with quick-set adhesive, and connected to injection ports or manifolds.

03

Resin Injection

Low-viscosity epoxy or polyurethane resin is pressure-injected through hoses, flowing through valves or porous sections into cracks until complete saturation is achieved.

04

Curing & Removal

After resin cures (24-48 hours), surface-mounted hoses are cut flush, embedded hoses remain in place, and surfaces are finished to match existing concrete appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is injection hose installation necessary?

Injection hoses are used for deep cracks, inaccessible locations, cracks requiring systematic multi-point injection, curtain grouting applications, or where passive systems that activate automatically when water pressure occurs are required. They're essential for complex structural crack repairs where standard surface injection may be insufficient.

What's the advantage of injection hoses over standard crack injection?

Injection hoses allow resin delivery deep into cracks from multiple points, ensuring complete penetration in thick sections. They enable systematic injection along entire crack lengths, work in inaccessible areas, and passive systems can seal future water ingress automatically without further intervention.

How much does injection hose installation cost?

Costs vary based on crack length, depth, accessibility, hose type (passive/active), and resin volumes required. Injection hose systems typically cost £800-£2,500 for residential crack repairs, with larger commercial projects priced per linear metre. The additional cost over standard injection is justified by superior penetration and reliability.

Can injection hoses seal cracks that are still moving?

Yes, when using flexible polyurethane resins through injection hoses, the system can accommodate minor crack movement while maintaining waterproof integrity. Passive injection hoses are particularly effective as they automatically inject resin when crack movement causes water pressure, creating self-healing characteristics.

Are injection hoses left in the structure permanently?

This depends on installation method. Surface-mounted hoses are typically removed after injection and cut flush. Embedded hoses in drilled channels or passive systems remain in place permanently, encapsulated in resin and invisible once surfaces are finished. Both approaches provide permanent structural crack sealing.
