Published: Tue, Mar 15, 2016
Both concrete and asphalt road surfaces are susceptible to settling due to the compaction or erosion of subsurface soils.
With asphalt roadways, Martech (now infraStruct) would recommend a subsurface soil stabilization foam like Prime Flex 920 permeation grout. This concrete slab lifting project used Precision Lift 3.5 compaction grout. Precision Lift 3.5 can also be used to lift sidewalk slabs, warehouse floors, concrete driveway, airport runways and other transport facilities.

In this section of the ring road, the six-year-old highway had settled as much as 2″ (51mm). Using Precision Lift 3.5 resin, the local Prime Resins contractor was able to quickly drill and inject the lifting foam into the subsurface space to lift the slab back to a level grade.
Using Prime Resins Precision Lift compaction grout, the contractor was able to lift and repair concrete panels approximately 3m x 6m in size in less than 60 minutes. This made the repair work go weeks ahead of schedule!
If you have a slab lifting project (either small or large scale), be sure to contact infraStruct (previously Martech) before committing to a slab lifting material different than Prime Resins.
