Contractor | Mid-South Concrete Leveling |
Project Location | Seneca Rocks, WV |
Product Used | Terrathane™ 24-003 |
Problem
- Soil Subsidence and erosion caused voids beneath the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center’s concrete slab foundations
- Some slabs were left with dips of up to 3”
- Settlement occurred in the Center’s conference rooms, hallways, bathrooms, and patio, causing tripping hazards
Solution
- Remove existing caulking and drill 5/8” holes through the slabs, causing little dust or disruption
- Inject the TerraThane 24-003 geotechnical polyurethane underneath the slabs to stabilize, voidfill, lift, and level the slabs
- Add drainage, new caulking and cleanup the areas with minimal disruption to the center’s activities
Results
- Filled all voids and leveled slabs
- Added minimal weight to the area when compared to concrete grout (4lbs vs 130lbs)
- Tripping hazards were mitigated
- Completed in 3.5 days
- Saved thousands of dollars by avoiding replacement or versus alternative methods
