Our URETEK Method for lifting and leveling concrete floors

Our method entails drilling small holes with a diameter ranging from 6 to 16 mm at intervals of 1.2 m directly through the pavement structure to depths determined by site-specific analysis. This allows the mixture to flow easily into voids and weak zones within the soil mass below.

As a result of this controlled chemical reaction, the expanding polyurethane resin binds and compacts surrounding soils and applies controlled pressure on targeted areas of the affected concrete above.

In addition, when the surrounding soil is bound and compacted, it not only enhances the ground-bearing capacity, but also serves as a preventive measure against potential damage such as lateral spread, differential settlement, consolidation settlement, or poorly compacted fill.

When necessary, we apply a multi-injection approach to gently restore the concrete to its original grade.

The polyurethane resin mix quickly cures into a strong, stable, durable, and water-resistant material that guarantees years of reliable service.

Our team of skilled engineers utilizes leveling lasers throughout the process to guarantee that the floor is perfectly level and restored to its original height.

How sunken floors affect your business

Concrete floors can sink for many reasons. Some common causes include:

  • Poor soil compaction before construction.
  • Leakage in the drainage system leading to soil softening and weakening.
  • Excessive loads from machinery, merchandise, or transport trucks.

When concrete floors sink, it can result in a range of problems that negatively impact businesses, including:

  • Ponding on floors or roads.
  • Disrupted traffic flow.
  • Tilting of machines or storage tanks.
  • Cracking of concrete.

These hazards pose risks to both staff members and the overall operation. Some of these issues can also affect residential properties as well.

Why does URETEK use resin to lift and re-level floors?

  • URETEK Resin expands up to 10-20 times its original size then hardens within 7-10 seconds.
  • It easily permeates into voids, seamlessly combines with the soil and rocks, significantly improving soil strength, and effortlessly expands until the floor is lifted.
  • It is lightweight and durable, making it perfect for heavy loads.
  • It is fire-resistant and can resist leaks effectively.
  • It can withstand mold or fungus without any issues.
  • In normal soil environments, it remains intact and does not contaminate the environment.

Why should you use our URETEK resin service?

  • Resin is a cost-effective solution that eliminates the need for uninstalling, relocating, and re-installing machinery.
  • Production and machine operation can continue uninterrupted during the repair process.
  • The repair process takes only a few hours.
  • There's no need for new pile installation or demolition of the area.
  • Resin can lift and re-level floors carrying heavy machinery up to 50 tons per square meter.
  • It prevents the occurrence of ponding after the sunken floor has been lifted.
  • The lifted-releveled area can function normally within 15 minutes.
  • It is a precise technology that can be controlled and monitored.
  • It is widely accepted by insurers, local authorities, and consulting engineers.
  • It is environmentally friendly and does not contaminate the soil and surrounding areas.

URETEK resin can lift and level residential floors, factory floors, warehouse floors, concrete roads, and parking areas. It is widely used in England, Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, proving its effectiveness.
