The present invention relates to stabilizing a structure embedded in an earth formation by disposing the solidifiable liquid resin composition between at least an external portion of the structure and the surrounding earth formation, and solidifying the resin composition in intimate and static contact with both the structure and the formation, whereby the solidified resin is bonded to both the structure and the formation. The liquid thermosetting resin-forming composition contains 10-50%v polyglycidylether of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 10-88%v ethylacetate, 0-78%v butoxyloxitol, 2-20%v diethanoltriamine, 0-78%v xylene and 0-15%v dimethylaminomethylphenol.

Method for installing a hollow pipe

The invention relates to a method for installing a hollow pile into an earth formation. The pile is provided with a closed bottom and perforations in a section of its wall near the bottom end and/or bottom closing plate. In this method, the pile is driven into the earth formation and liquid thermo-setting resin-forming composition is displaced through the pile and the perforations to permeate the formation where it solidifies and forms a consolidated mass. The liquid thermosetting resin-forming composition comprises:

To prevent dissolution of siliceous grains or siliceous bonds between grains in or around a well when aqueous fluid is passed through the well in an oil recovery process, the siliceous solids are at least once treated with a solution of Co ions in a solvent such as water.
