Mitigating Trip Hazards with Polyurethane Concrete Lifting
Addressing trip hazards is a matter of paramount importance for both neighborhoods and businesses, given the potential for accidents resulting in injuries or property damage. One highly effective method for mitigating and rectifying trip hazards is the utilization of polyurethane foam concrete lifting.

Trip hazards manifest in various forms, such as sunken or misaligned concrete slabs found in foundation structures, walkways, sidewalks, and settled floors. These irregular walking surfaces can pose significant risks to personal safety and must be recognized as a substantial liability concern for a wide range of stakeholders, including businesses, homeowners’ associations, government entities, and individual homeowners. Ignoring these trip hazards may lead to substantial legal expenses in the event of accidents.
Polyurethane concrete lifting offers a swift, cost-efficient, and minimally invasive solution for addressing trip hazards. The process involves injecting a specialized geotechnical polyurethane foam material into the ground beneath a concrete slab. As concrete slabs sink and settle over time due to erosion or degradation of their underlying support soils, polyurethane foam is introduced below the slab. The polyurethane material rapidly fills the void beneath the slab and then compacts the compromised soils, restoring their stability. Consequently, the concrete slab is elevated until it reaches a level position.
Lifting concrete slabs with polyurethane proves to be a rapid and highly effective solution that can help prevent the consequences associated with potential trips, falls, and injuries stemming from unaddressed trip hazards.
