Repair Work on the Warehouse Floor
CAUSES OF WAREHOUSE FLOOR PROBLEMS
The concrete floor of the warehouse may require repairs for a variety of reasons, and those reasons can be found in the previous sentence.
Improper curing
– Soil erosion
– Inadequate soil preparation
– Soil that shrinks and expands
– Erosion of the soil
There is a potential for voids to form beneath the floor slab of the warehouse. The slabs have the potential to tilt and shift into uneven positions if they are moved by heavy machineries such as forklifts or electric pallet jacks. Because of this potentially dangerous circumstance, a forklift operator could either drop a heavy load or become unable to move their equipment.
Uneven floors in your warehouse put both the safety of the employees working there and the safety of the product in jeopardy. In a nutshell, it might result in serious injuries or the destruction of expensive equipment and materials.
SOLUTIONS FOR UNEVEN WAREHOUSE FLOORS
Thankfully, there is a solution to the problem of uneven floors in warehouses. It is of the utmost importance to safeguard your workers, your equipment, and your inventory by ensuring that the floors of the warehouse are level and stable.
Slab leveling and Alchemy-Spectec are two of the methods that we use at Dalinghaus Construction, Inc. to ensure that concrete slabs are secure, level, and strong.
In the process known as Alchemy-Spectec, polyurethane foam is injected through small holes located underneath the slabs. As the foam expands, it fills the space underneath the slab, which at the same time lifts the slab and positions it where it should be.
We are able to adjust the height of the slab to within a tenth of an inch of the target height thanks to the polyurethane installation process. That is an extremely high level of accuracy. The polyurethane foam is not only impervious to water but also non-toxic and unaffected by the surrounding environment.

It only takes 15 minutes for polyurethane to reach 90 percent of its full strength after it has begun to cure. The polyurethane foam acts as a sealant at the base of the floor slab in the warehouse, preventing any cracks in the concrete from spreading upwards.
When it is necessary, a joint fill material is used to assist in the prevention of any significant gaps between the slabs.
Once the floor of the warehouse has been leveled, heavy equipment will be able to run smoothly over the joints, which will significantly reduce the amount of damage that is caused to the wheels or edges of the concrete. Because of these gaps, the slabs are able to expand and contract without cracking or shifting out of their proper positions.
The good news is that the Alchemy-Spectec process does not require a lot of heavy or specialized equipment. This means that you will not need to make a lot of room for us to work because we won’t need that much space. Additionally, as was stated previously, the curing time for polyurethane foam to reach 90% solidity is only fifteen minutes.
This translates directly into getting back to work as soon as possible. The Alchemy-Spectec process will take care of any underlying issues that were causing the concrete to sink, and it will be less expensive and take less time than tearing up and replacing a concrete slab.
