Werner Trucking Concrete Repair

Challenge

Werner trucking has several areas of settled concrete around their guard shack. Some of these slabs are cracked, and some have sunken into the soil by as much as 3 inches. This is obviously not ideal for neither the company, nor the drivers. With large trucks continuously coming and going, the problem could become very worse, very quickly. The constant traffic also poses another problem: the solution must be fast, and the work cannot impede the drivers, thereby disrupting business.

Werner called local concrete repair experts Redeemers Group to help them design the ideal solution for their concrete problems. Upon inspection, it was determined that water had infiltrated beneath the slabs. This is a major problem because water can swiftly erode the soil, carrying it from under the slab and causing voids. With these voids, there is no longer stabilization, in turn, weakening the the integrity of the concrete.

Solution

This project calls for our 3 part CPS System. Stage 1 is stabilization. This was accomplished with a PolyLevel® Concrete Injection System. With this system, a lightweight and ultra-strong polyurethane foam is injected in strategic locations around the concrete. This foam does 2 things. First, it fills all voids beneath the concrete. After that, it expands. This controlled expansion pushes against the underlying soil, causing the concrete to lift to the desired position. Here are the attribute of the PolyLevel System:

The second stage of work is water mitigation. This is accomplished with NexusPro® Joint and Crack Sealant. This sealant stops water from penetrating beneath the concrete to cause more erosion and damage. With all joints and cracks sealed, water is carried away from the concrete instead of finding its way beneath it. The third part of the system is SealantPro® Concrete Sealant. Here are the advantages of SealantPro®:
