Extend the life of your commercial roadways.
Driving on cracked and sunken roadways with potholes is not only inconvenient but also hazardous. If your commercial property has a sunken roadway, it's crucial to address it promptly by lifting and levelling it.
Concrete, while durable, can succumb to various factors leading to cracking, settling, or sinking. Freezing temperatures and freeze-thaw cycles, common in certain regions, can affect concrete integrity. Additionally, improper pouring or inadequate soil compaction during installation may result in sinking or settling. Cracks or potholes on the surface indicate underlying issues, posing risks of vehicle damage or injury to pedestrians.
Polyurethane concrete lifting offers a cost-effective solution to restore sinking, uneven, or cracked commercial roadways. This method involves injecting expanding foam beneath the concrete, filling voids, and lifting the slab back to its original height without damaging existing structures. Unlike traditional methods like mudjacking, polyurethane concrete leveling is non-invasive and durable, with no excavation required. Its efficiency ensures minimal disruption to your commercial property, with results achieved in just a few hours.
Furthermore, our polyurethane foam is environmentally friendly, containing recycled materials and free from harmful chemicals.

We'll swiftly restore your roadways to their original state, ensuring safety and durability for all users.
What causes roadways to sink and settle?
Commercial roadways can experience sinking and settling due to various factors, including the freeze/thaw cycle, poor compaction during installation, and heavy vehicle traffic.
The freeze/thaw cycle contributes to heaving in the roadway surface, where fluctuations in temperature cause upward movement, leading to cracks and potholes. These surface irregularities pose challenges for vehicles and increase the risk of damage, for which liability may arise.
Poor compaction during installation undermines the stability of roadway foundations. Inadequate compaction results in insufficient support for the roadway slab, allowing the soil below to compact unevenly and create voids. This leads to sinking and settling, accompanied by the formation of cracks and potholes. Water infiltration exacerbates settlement issues over time.
Heavy vehicle traffic exacerbates sinking and settling, placing additional stress on the roadway. Inadequate drainage and improper soil compaction further compound the problem, accelerating the rate of sinking and settling. High-stress conditions, especially from semi-trucks and large vehicles, expedite the deterioration process.
If your commercial roadway exhibits signs of sinking and settling, trust Levicon Concrete Solutions to lift and level it promptly and efficiently. With our expertise, we'll restore your roadway to optimal condition, ensuring safety and durability for all users.
