Raising the subsided concrete floor of a private house, strengthening the soil and stabilizing the foundation
THE PROBLEM
The soil beneath the foundation of the private house had been poorly compacted during the construction works, causing the concrete floors of the building to subside. As a result, cracks started to appear in the partition walls and gaps of 30 mm appeared between the skirting boards and the floors, clearly indicating rapid subsidence of the concrete floor.
WORK PROCESS WITH URETEK TECHNOLOGY
URETEK Baltic technical team injected proprietary geopolymer resin into the soil and under the floors, which used their expansion properties to stabilise the sand layer, restore soil bearing capacity and raise the floors back to the original planned height.
THE RESULT
With other traditional methods, it would not have been possible to raise the floors without requiring the residents to move out of their home. Additionally, the existing floors would have had to be dismantled, and a new concrete floor poured—a process that would have taken at least 1-2 months.
Using URETEK technology, the issue of the house’s floor subsidence was solved in just one day.
