Introduction
Welcome to our exploration of Bulkhead Repair, where we’ll delve into the essential techniques for maintaining and restoring these critical shoreline structures. Bulkheads play a crucial role in coastal and waterfront protection, acting as barriers that prevent erosion and stabilize soil along beaches, lakes, and rivers. These structures not only protect adjacent properties but also help preserve the natural shoreline and infrastructure.
In this episode, we focus on the application of polyurethane foams—a versatile material widely used for bulkhead and seawall repairs. These foams offer several advantages: single-component foams are ideal for crack injections and permeation grouting, which anchor soils and slow erosion. Meanwhile, plural-component foams are excellent for filling voids, stabilizing concrete structures, and, under controlled conditions, even adjusting structural alignment. With their low viscosity, these foams penetrate deeply, bonding and reinforcing weak soils and damaged substrates to extend the life of bulkheads.
Whether you’re a contractor, engineer, or simply interested in learning more about infrastructure repair, this episode provides valuable insights into how modern techniques keep our coastal environments and waterfront properties protected against the forces of nature.

Why do Seawalls Fail? – Causes and Repair:
Keep the Integrity of the Seawall Intact, and Avoid Erosion Inside, Under, and Behind the Seawall
Erosion is the main cause for seawall failure. Leaks within the wall, caused by cracks and failing joints, insufficient drainage of water runoff from the land-side, and other construction related problems, such as improper soil compaction, will contribute to premature and accelerating erosion, undermining the integrity and viability of the seawall.
Seawall Inspections
Frequent seawall inspections, especially after a heavy rainstorm or major storm, can help owners to early on recognize problems with their seawall, and perform seawall repairs in a timely, affordable and effective fashion. The key is to reduce or eliminate erosion in it’s early stages.
Seawall replacement is a costly construction project and most likely highly disruptive to the owner and the environment. Seawall construction could mean expensive and lengthy permitting processes, lasting weeks or months.
Maintaining Your Seawall
Every wave and tidal cycle provides a stress situation for a seawall structure, no matter how well constructed. As soil washes away, voids and gaps may form, in or under the wall. As a result, the footer may no longer supported by a solid foundation, leading to cracking of the wall and failing wall joints.
If the obvious need for seawall repair is ignored, the process of decay will continue and accelerate, potentially creating major hazards to people and the environment. Sinkholes are forming and the ground is caving in behind the wall, affecting nearby structures, including walkways and sidewalks, patios and pool deck slabs.
Seawalls, Seawall Footers and Bulkheads can be Repaired with Polyurethane Chemical Grouts and Epoxies
We provide the products and systems to stop water, fill voids, seal leaks, repair cracks, and stabilize loose soil for your seawall repair. Extend the service life of your seawall for years to come and at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Cold joint and crack injection of grout joints in Natural Boulder | Rock | Stone | River Seawall using the SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam – NSF Listed and Drinking Water System Component Approved injection System
Location: Granite Boat Chute, Arkansas River, Colorado
Objective: To Seal Leaks and Repair Cracks in Seawall Grout Cold Joints
Cold joint and crack injection of grout joints in Natural Boulder, Rock, Stone, River Seawall
SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam – NSF Listed and Drinking Water System Component Approved injection System
Along the beautiful and pristine Arkansas river is the Granite Boat Chute. For the first time in more than half a century, rafters and boaters can float the Arkansas River from Leadville to Cañon City without disruption.
During a repair last season on the divider seawall and re-installation of a section of the boulder wall a cementitious grout was used to bond boulders together and to bond to existing boulders and existing grout. Over time some of the cold joints between the old grout and new grout started leaking. Leaks also developed at bond failures between the natural boulders and rocks, and the cementitious grout. Hairline cracks also developed to contribute to water seepage.
SealBoss 1510 NSF hydro active foam, an environmentally friendly product with NSF drinking water contact certification, was injected into the areas of bond failure to seal the boulder seawall from water intrusion and to prevent future water induced issues with freeze / thaw cycles that contribute to further damages and eventually could lead to blowing out the seawall.
Spacing of the packers was at an interval of 12” and the catalyst was initially at a 5% by volume to allow for travel down in to the areas between the stone to ensure a proper seal throughout the conglomeration. Later the accelerator was increased to a 10% by volume to 1510 to foster a more rapid reaction and cure to fill in some of the remaining voids.
In conclusion, this project outlines innovative solutions that can be employed to address natural wear and erosion challenges.
The use of SealBoss 1510 NSF hydro active foam showcases the potential of polyurethane foam technology in ensuring the longevity and safety of such structures. By addressing the cold joints, bond failures, and hairline cracks, the SealBoss system not only rectified the immediate issues but also fortified the seawall against future damages.

Basement Crack Injection Kit – The Ultimate Solution for Leak Sealing and Repair
Tracing the Root Cause
The culprits behind basement cracks often lie in the settlement of backfill or inadequate soil conditions. The resulting stress cracks can pave the way for unwelcome moisture intrusion, leading to further damages and the development of mold and unsightly damage over time.
A Comprehensive Crack Repair System
Enter the SealBoss Basement Crack Injection Kit, your ultimate weapon against leaks. This kit simplifies the repair process by delivering an effective, user-friendly solution to stop water in its tracks. The cured seal is airtight, watertight, and hydrophobic, deterring water incursion with utmost efficiency.
Our easy to use kit comprises a SealBoss P2002 high-pressure injection pump, SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam hydrophobic resin coupled with a 15x catalyst, and SealBoss Mechanical Injection Packers. When used in unison, these tools empower you to counteract hydrostatic pressure and fill the crack with a specialized water activated polyurethane foam that reacts with the existing moisture.
For complex structural repairs, consider employing the SealBoss Epoxy Injection System and Epoxy Repair Kits. For an in-depth comparison of the two systems, we invite you to explore our article on Epoxy versus Polyurethane.
Crack injections can conveniently be performed from within the structure (aka negative side repair), saving you both time and labor.
We put our Crack Injection Kit to work in a residential basement structure that had three prominent cracks showing signs of moisture intrusion. Signs of a previous unsuccessful repair attempt were also evident.
Post a thorough cleaning and strategic planning, we embarked on the repair process using our 1, 2, 3, 45 Degree Injection Guidelines, initiating with hole placement. The positive movement of water from drill hole to crack and inter-hole travel confirmed the readiness for the crack to be sealed.
The cracks, being approximately 3/8” wide, demanded a slowed injection to prevent wastage and overfill. As the catalyzed 1510 hydrophobic resin flowed from the crack, we employed a spray bottle to expedite the hydro-active reaction of the SealBoss 1510, allowing the foam to seal the crack surface as it cured.
One significant vertical crack had penetrated the foundation and was visible above ground. This crack was treated with foam from the floor up to 12” below the sill plate. The exterior was sealed to guide the expansion and avert exterior leakage. All cracks were sealed successfully, with surplus foam removed to prepare the structure for subsequent treatments, including aesthetic improvements.
Please note, we highly recommend consulting a specialist to investigate and correct any underlying and ongoing causes of structural damages, crack formation, and settling — including, but not limited to, backfill settlement and poor soil density.

An Overview to Vehicular Barrier – Bumper Wall Crack Repair in Parking Garages Using the SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump and SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Epoxy Injection Port System
Maintaining the integrity and safety of parking structures is paramount, specifically the vehicular barriers or bumper walls. These walls play a significant role in preventing accidents, thereby ensuring the protection of property and human lives.
Over time, due to various factors such as stress, wear and tear, or movement of reinforcing lateral cables causing additional forces, these barriers often develop structural and shrinkage cracks. This is where the technology of epoxy injection comes to the rescue.
The Damage: Cracked Vehicular Barriers
Cracks can be a source of structural weakness in parking garage bumper walls. They may compromise the strength and stability of the barrier, leading to potential safety hazards. Additionally, moisture seeping through these cracks can cause the steel reinforcement to corrode and the concrete to spall, igniting a vicious cycle of accelerating deterioration.
The Answer: Epoxy Injection
Epoxy injection presents itself as a proven, cost-effective method to repair cracks in structures. The technique involves the injection of a low-viscosity epoxy into the cracks. The injected epoxy fills the void and, once cured, can restore the structural integrity and strength of the concrete structure, warding off further damage.
The Tools: Epoxy Dispensing System
Proven reliability and cost-effectiveness, the SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump and SealBoss Surface Mount Tri-Base Ports exemplify a professional solution for epoxy pressure dispensing.
Scope: Inject Structural Cracks on Exterior Vehicular Barrier Wall

A successful epoxy injection process relies heavily on the right equipment. The SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump and SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Ports are precisely designed to manage such repairs. Specifically, the P3003 pump is custom-designed with a 2:1 ratio feature in mind, or, if needed, a 1:1 ratio conversion, vital for most structural epoxies, providing optimal curing and strength characteristics.
Procedure: Repairing Cracks with Epoxy Injection
The epoxy injection process kicks off by preparing the crack for repair. Any loose concrete or debris within the crack is removed, the paint is grinded off, and the surface is cleaned thoroughly. For fine shrinkage cracks, the contractor chases the cracks out to allow for proper material travel during injection.
Connectors: SealBoss Tri-Base Ports
The SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Ports are strategically installed along the crack. Acting as a connector between the injection machine or dispenser, they are placed directly over the crack, and a non-sag, fast setting epoxy paste is built up around the port to ensure a proper seal that can hold pressure.

Dispenser: SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Pump
Having completed the preparation phase, the SealBoss P3003 Epoxy Injection Pump is effectively engaged as the device for dispensing the epoxy. This allows for the precise injection of the epoxy resin into the existing cracks through the strategically placed ports. The process starts at the lowest port on a vertical crack or the first port on a horizontal crack. Epoxy is injected until it begins to appear at the next port, signifying that the section of the crack between the ports has been filled. The injection process then proceeds to the next port, repeating the process until the entire crack has been repaired.
Once the epoxy has cured, the ports and the surface seal are removed. The result is a structurally sound bumper wall, restored to its original strength and durability.
Conclusion
The fusion of the SealBoss P3003 Injection Pump with the SealBoss Surface Mounted Tri-Base Port connection system, complemented by superior-quality epoxy polymer resin, forms an efficient solution for concrete injection tasks.
