Commercial/Industrial Slab Lifting

Posted by Kreg Thornley on Feb 21, 2023 10:00:00 AM

Commercial Industrial Slab Lifting - Banner

Commercial Industrial Slab Lifting - BodyCommercial/Industrial Slab Issues

Settled and/or rocking slabs in factories, parking decks, and warehouses can pose severe safety and liability issues. Unstable supporting soil and unlevel slabs can cause:

  • Employee and customer injuries.
  • Damage to equipment and forklifts.
  • Unstable storage racks.
  • Floor collapse.
  • Lawsuits.

Advantages of Commercial Jobs

Large businesses and organizations tend to have more slabs in need of repair than smaller residential customers. While taking on these types of jobs may seem daunting to a residential slab lifting contractor, you can mitigate a lot of the risk by taking advantage of Alchemy-Spetec's technical support team and onsite training. Commercial/industrial organizations offer more repeat business opportunities as well. If you're going to spend marketing dollars on leads, why not focus some of that budget on larger jobs like these?

Residential Soil Stabilization

Posted by Kreg Thornley on Feb 9, 2023 10:00:00 AM

Banner - Residential Soil Stabilization

Body - Residential Soil StabilizationThe Problem

Unstable soil can be defined as soil that will not stay in place on its own, and therefore requires extra support. It should be noted that unstable soil can threaten the stability, security, and safety of property and can damage, degrade, and even destroy a number of structures, such as residential dwellings, garages, driveways, and pool decks. There are a variety of factors that can cause unstable soil including erosion, poor compaction, freeze/thaw cycles, and decomposition.

The Solutions

Soil can be stabilized with:
AP Soil 600
AP Fill 700
AP Fill 720
AP SoilGel 200

Once the bearing capacity of the soil has been increased with this process, then the structure can be lifted if necessary.
