Magnum Push Piers
Steel push piers down to deep bearing ground, each tested.
Do you recognise this?
- Level differences at the joints that forklifts and pallet trucks bump over
- Slabs that rock or sound hollow
- Cracks in the floor along racking or heavy machines
- A floor on poorly compacted fill
- Water that stays in the lowest zones
How it works
We drill 12 mm holes in the floor every 1 to 2 m and inject an expanding polyurethane resin. Within seconds the resin expands to about 30 times its volume, fills the voids under the slab, compacts the subgrade and lifts the floor under continuous laser control. We stop as soon as the floor is level.
Why not break it out and pour again?
| Resin injection | Replacing the floor | |
|---|---|---|
| Downtime | Zone by zone, usable after ± 15 min | Weeks |
| Demolition and removal | None, only small drill holes | Full demolition |
| Racking and machines | Usually stay in place | Have to be moved |
| Subgrade | Compacted at the same time | Unchanged without extra measures |
Our injection unit stays outside
Only the hoses come in. Disruption in the building stays minimal and your operation carries on around the zone.
With serious damage, have a structural engineer assess the situation. Soiltek is a specialist contractor: we record, measure, propose a technique and carry out the repair, in consultation with your engineer.
