In warehouses, drive lanes, manufacturing centers, or logistic centers, dealing with rocking concrete slabs can cause problems with forklifts, delivery trucks, or heavy machinery. Polyurethane injection is an excellent way to stabilize these slabs by filling the voids underneath and minimizing future movement.
The benefits of having level concrete for businesses can change the appeal of the building to customers. Potential residents can make a decision depending on disability accessibility. We have seen real estate agents increase the value of the homes because it increases curb appeal and sell the house faster.
Concrete Polyfix is a state-of-the-art alternative to mudjacking, re-leveling grout, or concrete replacement. The polyurethane foam system offers numerous features and benefits:
- Lightweight – Our polyurethane foam weighs approximately 4-6 pounds per cubic foot when installed, in comparison to traditional mortar-based material which weighs 120 pounds per cubic foot.
- High capacity – Lifting action is a result of the expansion of the polymer, allowing for lifting of a much higher load than traditional mudjacking, which relies on hydraulic pressure being contained under a slab.
- Accurate lift – Calculated reaction time of the expanding polyurethane foam allows for the targeted, precise lifting of the slab.
- Waterproof – Polyurethane formula is fully waterproof, so it won’t wash out, won’t be impacted by freeze/thaw cycles and can be used to under-seal slabs and stop a variety of infrastructure leaks.
- Non-invasive – Our equipment can be used in extremely limited access areas and won’t disturb lawn or landscape.
- Quick cure time – Within just 15 minutes after injection, the concrete slab is ready for heavy loading; compared to conventional mudjacking which takes several days to cure.
- Environmentally-friendly – With Concrete Polyfix there’s no need to demolish the concrete and transport the waste to a landfill.
Tripping hazards are a safety concern that all facilities managers should be aware of. If slab settlement has caused uneven surfaces in your facility, polyurethane injection is an excellent solution for mitigating this issue.
Our work at schools, nursing homes, municipalities, and many other commercial buildings has been able to help make the pathways, sidewalks, and other walks ways meet building code standards while increasing eye appeal.
The positive of raising the concrete instead of replacing it is that most of our work can be done within an hour and can be used right away. This will limit the frustration of construction zones and get you back to business as usual right away.
