Advantages of High-Density Polyurethane

High-density polyurethane concrete leveling has many advantages over other concrete leveling/lifting methods.

• More Economical
  Provides a permanent solution that's 75% cheaper than the cost of removing and replacing existing concrete. No future repairs are needed.
• More Efficient
  Over 80% faster than alternative methods of repair. The material hardens in minutes allowing the project to be completed in hours versus the days or weeks that other methods require.
• Superior Accuracy
  Polyurethane foam creates its own hydraulic lift so we can control the lifting process precisely to within 10/1000th of an inch. Other methods must account for shrinkage of material by over-lifting the area, polyurethane will never shrink.
• Less Disruption
  Due to the fast curing time of high-density polyurethane, traffic control can be removed and lanes reopened to traffic immediately after the injection process. Nighttime scheduling lessens delays and inconveniences.
• Higher Durability
  Polyurethane’s compressive strength provides a solid and dense product yet its tensile strength and elongation allow for the material to be pliable, allowing it to permanently support the roadway structure by being tough, yet forgiving.
• Conformability
  By expanding 20 times its liquid volume, polyurethane foam material moves laterally beneath the pavement filling all voids. Additionally, it perfectly contours to the size and shape of the voids to fully completely support the pavement with 100% coverage.
• Compaction Ability
  An additional benefit during the lifting process is the compaction of base soils through the resistance of lifting the concrete structure. The material bleeds into the sub-base and binds soil particles together, strengthening the base material.
• Lighter Weight
  Polyurethane only adds 3-5 pounds per cubic foot to the sub-base compared to the 100 pounds plus that mudjacking grout adds.
• Better Structural Integrity
  To help maintain the structural integrity of the concrete pavement, injection holes are only 5/8" in diameter versus 3" or larger for other concrete lifting methods.
• Moisture Resistant
  Our specially formulated polyurethane material is designed for wet conditions. Its hydrophobic properties displace and repel water without being compromised and replaces any missing sub-base with a solid/dense material unaffected by moisture.
• Moisture Seal Barrier
  Polyurethane seals the underside of concrete pavement joints and cracks to eliminate water penetration and erosion issues.
• Infrastructure Rehabilitation
  Puts counties, cities, and municipalities in control of their aging infrastructure by saving them time and money.
