Polyurethane foam lifting offers several significant advantages over traditional methos for repairing sunken concrete structures.
1. Structural Support:
The polyurethane foam used is a closed-cell material known for its structural integrity. It provides robust support, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from residential driveways to heavy-duty infrastructure like highways and runways.
2. Efficiency and Cleanliness:
The process is remarkably quick and clean compared to alternatives
Drilling: We only drill a small 3/8th inch hole needed needed for the port of the polyurethane machine.
Foam Injection: The foam is injected through the hole, expanding and filling voids beneath the concrete efficiently.
Rapid Cure: Within minutes, the foam gains significant strength (90% within 15 minutes and fully cured within 45 minutes), allowing for immediate use of the repaired surface.
Minimal Disruption: This process means there’s little mess involved, making it a convenient and hassle-free solution that minimizes disruption to daily activities.
3. Cost-Effectiveness:
Polyurethane foam lifting generally proves more cost-effective than traditional methods like complete concrete replacement. This results in reduces labor costs due to its quick application and requires fewer resources and equipment.
4. Durability and Longevity:
Once cured, the foam provides stable support to the lifted concrete. It is resistant to moisture and other environmental factors, ensuring durability and long-term reliability of the repaired structure.
Overall, polyurethane foam lifting stands out as a superior choice for concrete repair. It’s due to its structural strength, efficiency, cleanliness, cost-effectiveness, and long-lasting performance. It is a versatile solution applicable to various concrete structures, offering a significant improvement over older repair methods.
