摘要

Method for the stabilization of porous soils or formations and for the filling and waterproofing of holes, by introducing into the pores or holes a liquid mixture that is transformed into a controllable time in an expansive gel that stabilizes and waterproofs the porous formation or hollows, sinkholes or treated caverns. The liquid mixture contains as fundamental components sodium silicate, water, a water-soluble oxidizing compound and an organic compound soluble in water, capable of transforming into acids upon oxidation. The mixture may also contain other organic or inorganic products soluble in the system, which react simultaneously with the sodium silicate present.
