Comprehensive Foundation and Concrete Repair for Shirley Public Schools in Shirley, AR

Challenge

The Challenge: Widespread Settlement and Water Issues in Educational Facilities

Shirley High School and Shirley Elementary in Shirley, Arkansas faced significant structural and safety challenges due to foundation settlement and chronic drainage problems. Additions made to the front and back of the buildings began to settle and crack, pulling away at the corners of the structures and threatening long-term stability.

On both campuses, various sidewalks and interior slab areas had sunken or shifted, creating trip hazards and accessibility concerns—particularly near entrances such as the cafeteria and high school vestibule. Water pooling around entrances and slab edges compounded the problem, eroding support soils and further contributing to structural settlement.

Solution

The Solution: A Full-Scale Structural and Water Management Strategy To restore safety and ensure long-term performance, Redeemers Group developed a custom commercial repair plan involving foundation stabilization, slab lifting, and a groundwater control solution tailored to the schools’ needs. 1. Structural Reinforcement with Push Piers To address the separating building corners, five steel push piers were strategically installed in accordance with engineered specifications. These piers were designed to lift and level the compromised sections and permanently stabilize the building’s foundation against further movement.

2. Concrete Leveling with PolyLEVEL® Our high-density PolyLEVEL® polyurethane foam was used to restore and stabilize multiple slab areas: 3. Water Management with the Groundwater Protection System (GPS) We installed a custom Groundwater Protection System (GPS) to capture and control subsurface water, safeguarding the structural integrity of both buildings: 4. Finishing Touches for Performance and Appearance The Outcome: Safer Access and Long-Term Structural Stability Through an integrated approach combining foundation repair, concrete leveling, and advanced groundwater management, Redeemers Group helped Shirley Public Schools regain confidence in the structural health of their facilities.
