Polymer Stabilization & LiftingNHI specializes in the injection of the highest quality Polymer Foams on the market with an emphasis on soil stabilization and slab leveling services. Whether your project is big or small, we have the equipment and expertise to exceed your expectations. Let us show you what's possible with these advanced products.
Poor compaction, erosion and biological decay are the leading influences to soil destabilization. This can cause large voids and settling beneath concrete slabs, leaving them unsupported and dangerous for unaware overhead traffic. Unsupported slabs can crack and give-way, creating tripping hazards, serious equipment damage, bodily injury or death. These failures will cost thousands of dollars and lots of headaches. However, this can easily be avoided with minimal intrusion using Polymer Slab Stabilization and Lifting.
NHI uses Polymer Foam products to stabilize soil and lift concrete slabs. These concrete slabs can be in use for multiple applications - such as side walks, driveways, pool decks or warehouse floors. Achieving this by drilling a 3/8 inch injection port through concrete slab, NHI lifting ports are nearly invisible to the naked eye once patched at the completion of the project. The initial polymer foam injected stabilizes the soil through void fill and compaction as it expands. This reinforces eroded or settled areas beneath the concrete slab. Once the soil is stabilized the concrete slab can be lifted to within 1/8 inch of desired height. This solution creates a lasting solution that will not expand/contract with the change of seasons, or erode over time.
When injecting any product into the soil, the safety of nearby public water supplies is extremely important. To ensure this safety, NHI uses polyurethane resin products that have the official NSF/ANSI 61-5 approval for contact with drinking water. This protects the water-dwelling wildlife as well, so you can rest assured that no ground contamination will occur with the injection polymer products we use.
