Highways

The settlement of highways is a problem that Departments of Transportation across the country are burdened with on a regular basis. The same is true in the Kansas City and St. Louis, MO area. Over time, expansion joint material breaks down and water is allowed to penetrate below the highway. Then, with heavy traffic flow, the highway begins to sag, creating unsafe driving conditions.

In the past, the method of repair was the removal and replacement of the affected concrete. This method is time-consuming, disruptive, and costly. Polyjacking.com, a division of Pro Foundation Technology, offers a more cost-effective and less disruptive method for highway leveling and repair in the Kansas City area. Polyjacking utilizes a polyurethane foam that expands into the voids beneath the highway to level and stabilizes it with little disruption.

Concrete Leveling Solutions for Highways

For highway leveling and repair in Kansas City, MO and the surrounding area, polyjacking is the most cost-effective, efficient, and least disruptive method used today. This method involves injecting polyurethane foam through a small hole that is drilled into the concrete using poly trucks. This polyurethane foam expands to over 20 times its liquid volume to fill the entire voids beneath the highway.

Other advantages of using polyurethane foam for highway leveling are:

• Economical: High-density polyurethane provides a permanent solution that is 75% cheaper than the cost of removing and replacing existing concrete.
• Efficient: The polyurethane hardens in minutes and the highway can be used immediately after the repair is done
• Light Weight: Polyurethane is lightweight, only adding 3-5 pounds per cubic foot.
• Moisture Resistant: This material is also resistant to moisture, making this method long-lasting.
