In this invention, after a hole has been drilled or excavated, injection
probe(s) are placed at appropriate depth(s), the excavated native
materials are replaced with appropriately sized crushed rock or other
natural or synthetic materials, and then a polymeric resin is injected
through the probe(s) to encapsulate and bind the fill material, whereby
upon curing the polymeric resin and fill material forms a foam friction
pile. Such friction piles drilled or excavated adjacent to each other
will form a foam sheet piling system. The foam piles can also be
re-enforced using nylon, polypropylene, fiberglass, other synthetic or
non-synthetic materials or combinations of these materials. The polymeric
resin typically would comprise a high density closed cell, water
resistant expanding two component polyurethane foam system.
