How Concrete Raising Helps
Sunken concrete can be more than
an inconvenience. If left unrepaired, it can be costly in terms
of production, safety or further damage and liability. Slabjacking
is a cost-effective alternative to removing and replacing problem
concrete.
Factories
There
is a tremendous advantage to slabjacking sunken factory floors instead
of pouring new ones. Small or large jobs can be easily handled without
taking the slab out of service while the slabjacking is being done.
With today's trend of spacious buildings, contractors are laying
very large slabs in one or two pours. Often this results in slab
curl; as the concrete cures, the edges actually curl upward. When
heavy lift trucks travel across curled joints, the slab moves up
and down causing cracks to form parallel to the joints. Slabjacking
can fill voids under the curled edges, stopping further movement
or damage.
Municipal and Commercial
There are as many applications
as there are places covered by concrete. Sidewalks, roads and parking
lot pavement can be economically maintained with slabjacking. When
water mains break and wash out the sub-base under streets, voids
can be easily filled by slabjacking equipment.
One important advantage is that
concrete pavement may be raised without closing down traffic in
the area being worked on. Traffic needs only to be re-routed around
the slabjacking crew. Slabs that have just been raised can be put
into use as the crew works its way across the street.
The area can be put back to its original grade. This keeps water
running to the storm sewers where sewer laterals run to houses.
Slabjacking is usually less than
half the cost of pouring new slabs. However, the savings may be
even greater, since demolition and removal costs are eliminated,
and no landscaping is required. Most jobs can be done in hours instead
of days.
