The Uretek Method - Ideal for Industrial Applications.

Many factories are located on soils which have not been sufficiently compacted.

Resulting problems include:
* Sinking foundations;
* Concrete slabs deflecting (bending);
* Dynamic loads from heavy machinery pushing machinery mounts into the ground;
* Floors not level;
* Development of trip hazards which are dangerous to staff and to product;
* Cracking walls which destroy themselves if the problem is not resolved; &
* Inability to run some machines e.g. robots, printing presses and glass making because of out of level flooring.

Many factory owners attempt to overcome these issues by relocating plant and equipment. This is only a very temporary fix, even though it can be expensive depending on the type of machinery being re-located. Some owners even put in a self levelling epoxy floor which fixes the problem in the short term, but cracks as the slab continues to move.

The basic problem is the low bearing capacity of the soft soil. Even breaking out sunken slabs and recasting new ones in place will not increase the bearing capacity of the soft soils and further subsidence will result over time.

The solution is to compact and densify the underlying soils, improving their bearing capacity to the point where they support the factory’s floor slabs and the load on the floor slabs.

To reduce the risk of future downtime due to failed concrete slabs, the Uretek Method can be adopted as a maintenance measure and applied under important areas of machinery. This can be accomplished without losing any production days as Uretek can be injected while the factory &/or machine continues to operate.
