Uneven concrete at airports is more than a surface issue — it’s a safety and operational concern. Settlement in runways, taxiways, aprons, and hangar areas can affect aircraft movement, ground handling equipment, drainage, and surface transitions. Left unaddressed, even small elevation changes can lead to long-term damage and increased maintenance demands.
Foamjection lifts sunken airport concrete back into position without removing or replacing large slabs. Our polyurethane concrete lifting process restores support beneath the surface, corrects settlement, and improves drainage — all with a controlled approach that helps airports address problem areas efficiently while minimizing disruption to operations.
Airport concrete sinks when the soil beneath it loses stability. Common causes include:
As support weakens, slabs settle unevenly and create safety and performance concerns.
You may need leveling if you notice:
Early repair helps maintain safe operations and reduce long-term surface damage.
If nearby airport concrete is also affected, interior floor leveling, warehouse floor leveling, or parking lot leveling may be needed to stabilize connected areas and maintain consistent elevation across airport facilities.
Foamjection levels airport runways and hangars by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab. The foam expands to fill voids, lift the concrete, and restore firm support below the surface.
Most airport leveling projects are completed efficiently, and many surfaces are ready for use the same day.
Airport operators choose concrete leveling because it corrects uneven surfaces without extended closures or full slab replacement. Lifting restores smooth transitions, improves drainage, and supports safe aircraft movement.
For airport concrete that is intact but uneven, leveling is often the most practical solution.
Airport concrete settles due to soil erosion, poor drainage, repeated aircraft loading, and long-term soil movement beneath large slabs. Water intrusion beneath pavement is a common contributor, especially in high-traffic areas.
In many cases, yes. When the concrete is still structurally sound, leveling restores the slab without demolition. This reduces cost, shortens repair timelines, and avoids the disruption of removing and replacing large pavement sections.
Yes. High-density polyurethane foam is engineered to restore firm support beneath large slabs and is suitable for areas exposed to aircraft loads and heavy ground support equipment when properly designed and installed.
Many airport leveling projects can be completed efficiently, often within hours depending on the size and scope of the repair. Because the foam cures quickly, treated areas are typically ready for use immediately once cleared.
In many cases, no. Work can often be scheduled in phases or during planned maintenance windows. We do our best to work around operational requirements and keep airfield activity moving whenever possible.
The access holes are small and carefully placed. After lifting, they are patched to blend with the surrounding surface. They are minimal compared to the surface disruption caused by full concrete replacement.
Yes. Leveling raises low areas and helps restore proper slope, allowing water to drain as intended instead of pooling on pavement surfaces.
Getting started is simple. Contact Foamjection to schedule an evaluation, and we’ll review the affected areas, slab conditions, and operational requirements. You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation estimate with recommended next steps.
