ABOUT US
INTEC CORPORATION
- Intec Corporation was incorporated in Texas since 1992 and is focused on providing goods and services for:
- Engineering, for the stabilization of soils and leveling of structures through the injection of polymers, for the needs of any type of industry and sector; and
- Agriculture, to saving water, improving productivity and increasing profitability, for the needs of opencast and protected agriculture, sports fields and golf courses, as well as gardening and urban beautification.
STUDIES
Our high-tech studies are grouped under the RODAR® concept and brand, a high-performance system that groups together a series of technologies that accurately, quickly, safely and in high resolution, analyze the conditions existing in different types of soils and structures at different depths, and also predicting the behavior and interaction of the soil/structure binomial, with different comparisons of geotechnical solutions using supermaterials or improving existing ones.
ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
- Electrical resistivity is a study to obtain geophysical data that is based on the induced polarization and the spontaneous potential of the system, to scan the soil and subsoil very precisely, and can be done in 2D and 3D volume sections.
- We achieve this by drilling 1/2 inch holes in the ground and installing 28, 56 or 112 electrode modules that are integrated as a transmission and reception circuit in an automatic sequential way. The electric current circulates through the subsoil materials, creating an electric field whose potential is measured through the electrodes that make up the reception circuit.
- The equipment used to obtain the field data has the goal of measuring the resistivity of the differential mass of the ground. The information is processed and the results are interpreted automatically using software and mathematical models. The results of vertical electrical soundings are grouped together to form geoelectric profiles.
HIGH FREQUENCY MICROWAVES
- This study consists of data acquisition through antennas that emit microwaves at a frequency of 10 billion signals per second that bounce off the subsoil layers, pavements, or the interior of concrete and masonry structures or any structure that uses stone materials.
- Microwaves are measured and compared with mathematical models; the analysis of the generated data, allows to visualize and analyze the characteristics of these elements, determine the thickness and humidity in the different strata that make them up, detect underground infrastructure, internal components and holes in the subsoil.
- The antennas can be adapted to any type of vehicle for working in different situations, and are capable of working with antennas of different frequencies simultaneously.
- We have real-time visualization and storage of the information gathering, and data processing that measures variables and obtains results with very high precision.
HIGH-DEFINITION 3D LASER SCANNING
- Our laser scanning system is a state-of-the-art technology in the world. deliver highest quality 3D data and High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging at an extremely fast scan rate of 1 million points per second at ranges of up to 270m.
- Unsurpassed range and angular accuracy paired with low range noise and survey-grade dual-axis compensation form the foundation for highly detailed 3D colour point clouds mapped in realistic clarity.
- This three-dimensional information is used to prepare topographic plans, vector maps, 3D diagrams, calculation of volumes, location of deformations, contour lines, measurement of differential subsidence, etc.
FALLING WEIGHT DEFLECTOMETER (FWD)
- This technology evaluates the elastic behavior of the pavement, and these data are used mainly to estimate the structural capacity of the pavement to design its improvement, determine if a pavement is overloaded or underdeformed and improve the resilient behavior of the pavement layers to thereby extend its useful life before different stress conditions.
- This system is used for the analysis of highways, roads, airport pavements, port areas and railways. The equipment is generally contained within a trailer to be towed by a vehicle, although portable equipment is also available.
- The equipment is designed to impart a load boost to the pavement surface that simulates the load produced by a rolling vehicle wheel. The load is produced by dropping a large weight and is transmitted to the pavement through a circular load plate. A load cell mounted on top of the plate measures the load imparted to the pavement surface.
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
- Finite element analysis breaks problems and situations into their simplest and smallest parts, called finite elements. The equations that model these finite elements are solved and reassembled into the larger set of equations that model the entire problem.
- The first step in finite element analysis is to develop a representative model of what a real-life object is going to do when placed within a boundary condition.
- The benefit is that once you have the model, you can reproduce different conditions doing it in a controlled environment and without the need for physical tests.
ENGINEERING DIVISION
INTEC CORPORATION’s Engineering division provides solutions based on an integrated system of state-of-the-art procedures and materials for application to soil stabilization and leveling of structures by injecting both pre-expanded or expandable polymers, of high density and hydro-insensitive, in a precise, safe and fast way.
Both our diagnostic studies and the injection of polymers for solving your problem are minimally invasive, they do not require excavations or large works, but only perforations that go between 1/2 inch and 3 inches. It is not necessary to vacate the properties and in most cases, the furniture or equipment present in the facilities is not even moved.

hydroFLAKES® standard is a very light and biodegradable substrate, which is non-toxic and does not impact the environment.
When mixed with soil, it has the capacity to retain up to 60% of its volume of water.
The technology of its elaboration allows the product to release the water in dosages as its environment dries. hydroFLAKES® has been used for more than 20 years worldwide and has a life of 7 to 10 years in optimal conditions.
hydroFLAKES® plus
hydroFLAKES® plus is the most select of the substrates and has the same characteristics as hydroFLAKES®, but with neutral pH that accelerates the growth of the roots. It can be used in hydroponic systems only, in addition to being able to mix with soil or other substrate.
hydroFOAM®
hydroFOAM® is a foam that is injected below the surface of new and existing green areas. It provides the same benefits as hydroFLAKES® with a faster and more effective application since it is applied with an injection machine.
