Hychem Infrastructure offers an extensive array of geotechnical and ground-engineering solutions, providing engineers, contractors and asset owners with a complete suite of injection and grouting systems for ground improvement, water control and soil stabilisation.
In the construction and civil engineering sectors, ground conditions can determine whether a project runs to schedule or grinds to a halt. Water ingress, unstable geology, and low-permeability soils are among the most common subsurface challenges faced by contractors working on tunnels, shafts, deep excavations and mining infrastructure, and they demand solutions that are both technically precise and field-proven.
Hychem Infrastructure has expanded its geotechnical product range to meet these challenges, assembling a comprehensive portfolio of injection and grouting technologies specifically selected for demanding Australian conditions.
The range includes:
These technologies are widely used for ground support, permeation grouting and curtain grouting, particularly where water ingress poses a risk to safety, schedule or asset integrity.
Experience where it counts
Leading the charge is Neville Chapman, Hychem Infrastructure’s Technical Product Specialist covering geotechnical, tunnelling, mining and concrete repair. Neville brings more than 30 years’ experience working alongside Tier 1 contractors on major underground and civil infrastructure projects across Australia, and his appointment reflects Hychem Infrastructure’s commitment to combining quality product with genuine technical capability.
“We’ve spent a long time curating this portfolio, and we’re confident we now have the right systems in place to support engineers and contractors across the full spectrum of ground-engineering challenges,” Neville said.
“I’ve spent many years working in this sector, and the one thing that consistently makes the difference is matching the right product to the right ground condition. That’s where our technical support comes in – it’s not just about supplying material, it’s about understanding the geology, the water pressures, the project constraints, and recommending a system that’s going to perform.”
Neville’s role extends well beyond product selection. He works directly with project teams to provide practical, experience-based guidance on injection methodology, system design and site-specific application – the kind of support that can be the difference between a grouting program that seals the ground first time and one that requires costly rework.
A natural evolution
The extensive geotechnical offering builds on Hychem Infrastructure’s established reputation in tunnelling, mining and subsurface remediation, where the company supplies specialist resins, structural repair systems and protective coatings for some of Australia’s most complex underground environments.
Dean Barr, Infrastructure & Commercial Manager – APAC/UK, explains that a strong geotechnical background positions Hychem Infrastructure as a genuine single-source provider for contractors and asset owners working in the ground-engineering space.
“This is a natural evolution for us,” Dean said.
“We’ve always had a strong presence in tunnelling and mining through our structural and protective systems, and in recent years we have grown to offer a complete geotechnical grouting and injection capability alongside those existing solutions.
“For our clients, it means they can access proven ground-engineering products backed by the same level of technical support and field expertise they’ve come to expect from Hychem Infrastructure across all our other service areas.”
Practical support, not just product supply
A key differentiator for Hychem Infrastructure in the geotechnical space is the emphasis on technical service. Every product in the range is backed by detailed application guidance, material selection support and, where required, on-site assistance from Neville and the broader Hychem Infrastructure team.
Whether it’s a complex water cut-off in a live tunnel, a permeation grouting program in difficult geology, or a curtain grouting design for a deep excavation, the approach is the same: understand the challenge, recommend the right system, and support the contractor through to a successful outcome.
“If you’re dealing with water control challenges, complex geology, or need guidance on selecting the right injection system, I’m here to help,” Neville said. “Whether it’s a phone call to compare notes on best practice or a detailed project discussion, that’s what we’re here for.”
