Project times vary based on the size of the pad and severity of settlement, but polyurethane foam cures quickly and can significantly reduce downtime compared with concrete replacement.
Grain bins and agricultural storage structures depend on stable concrete pads to support heavy loads. When soil beneath the concrete settles, washes away, or loses support, the pad can sink or tilt. That movement can place added stress on the grain bin and create problems around doors, equipment, and surrounding concrete.
Foamjection uses polyurethane concrete lifting and soil stabilization to restore support beneath settled grain bin pads. High-density polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids, stabilize weak areas, and carefully lift the slab when conditions allow.
This fast, minimally invasive process can help agricultural property owners repair existing concrete without the major demolition and downtime of tearing out and replacing the pad.
Grain bins place significant weight on the concrete and soil below. Changes beneath the slab can eventually cause sections of the pad to settle.
Common causes include:
Once support beneath the pad weakens, the concrete may begin to sink, tilt, or crack.
You may need grain bin concrete leveling or stabilization if you notice:
Early evaluation can help determine whether the existing concrete can be stabilized and lifted before settlement becomes more severe.
If settlement affects other agricultural concrete, pole barn concrete leveling, storage tank slab leveling, or soil stabilization may also be needed to restore support across the property.
Foamjection lifts and stabilizes grain bin pads by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. The foam expands to fill voids, improve support, and carefully raise settled sections of the slab.
Polyurethane foam cures quickly, helping reduce downtime around active agricultural properties.
Agricultural property owners choose polyurethane concrete lifting because it can correct settlement without removing and replacing an otherwise usable concrete pad.
The process targets the problem below the concrete, filling voids and restoring support where soil has shifted or washed away.
For a grain bin pad that is structurally sound but uneven, foam concrete leveling can provide a practical alternative to replacement.
In many cases, yes. If the concrete and structure are suitable for lifting, polyurethane foam can be injected beneath settled areas to fill voids, restore support, and carefully raise the slab.
Polyurethane foam allows technicians to target specific settled areas beneath a slab. Whether one section can be lifted depends on the amount of settlement, condition of the concrete, structure, and site conditions.
High-density polyurethane foam is used for commercial and industrial slab stabilization applications involving substantial loads. The specific repair plan depends on the grain bin, slab, underlying soil, and load conditions.
That depends on the project. The weight of stored material, amount of settlement, structural condition, and required lift must be evaluated before work begins. Some projects may require reducing the load before lifting.
Yes. Expanding polyurethane foam can fill irregular voids beneath concrete caused by erosion, washout, or loss of soil support.
Project times vary based on the size of the pad and severity of settlement, but polyurethane foam cures quickly and can significantly reduce downtime compared with concrete replacement.
If the existing pad remains suitable for repair, polyjacking can avoid demolition and replacement. Severely damaged concrete or structural problems may require a different solution.
Small access holes are drilled through the concrete to inject the foam. Once lifting is complete, these holes are patched. The patches remain visible but are relatively small.
Yes. Polyurethane injection can be used for soil stabilization as well as slab lifting. This can be useful where weak soil or voids are contributing to settlement.
Yes. Depending on local service availability, polyurethane concrete lifting can be used for pole barn floors, agricultural slabs, equipment areas, storage tank pads, and other settled concrete surfaces.
