Economy Compels Spray Foam Contractors To Offer Concrete Raising Jen Mazur Mar 27, 2013 0000 Economy Compels Spray Foam Contractors To Offer Concrete Raising Put away your ladders! All contractors around the country have been fighting the ups, and mostly downs, of the economy since 2008.

Highway Polyurethane Project Jen Mazur Nov 7, 2011 0000 By: Dave Gauger RaiseRite Concrete Lifting Inc. www.WeRaiseConcrete.com Oconto, Wisconsin - November 3, 2011 RaiseRite was commissioned to raise a 15X45' section of Off-Ramp located in Oconto. There was a low spot across the 45' of roadway. Traffic would dip as it traveled across the problem area. Polyurethane foam was injected under the slab filling voids and stabilizing the slab. In addition to stabilizing the slab, additional polyurethane was injected to raise the slab back to level. 554 lbs of HMI polyurethane was used to complete this project. The majority of the lift was 2 1/2" and took 40 minutes. The complete project from start to finish took 2 1/2 hours to complete which included the main lift and void filling to sta Read More
Polyurethane Cell Tower Project Jen Mazur Nov 7, 2011 0000 By: Kirk Roberts Concrete Jack Problem: Due to poor compaction of fill material of a cell tower site, half of the pad was settling, which caused an equipment building and generator pad to settle. The installation contractor installed two helical piers under the equipment building to raise it back to level within weeks of original construction in 2008. During the site visit, ground water was gushing out from under the slab out of a void that was created during the piering process and was accumulating surface water. Job scope: Concrete Jack's crew raised the settled generator pad using polyurethane foam, void filled under the building using polyurethane foam, which pushed the water out from the void during installation. After void f Read More
