What Is Involved In Concrete Raising

By Lana Bray


As advancements in technology and innovation make their way into the world, concrete rising, a process that ensure slurry and grouts are leveled back to their original position creating uniformity, concrete raising follows suit as well. This mechanized process in the construction industry is water proof, effective, affordable and less tedious as compared to other forms of repair in cement related constructions. Due to its durability, it has exceeded its warranty by 2-4 times.

To ensure quality results, a number of processes are involved in this mind blowing technology. A carpenter level is placed beneath the slopes of the step to determine the lowest points that need to be raised. Four equal holes are drilled and placed at intervals of 6inches to ensure that no mixture is wasted and to achieve uniformity.

A slab jacking horse is pushed into the drilled holes from highest point of the slope of the steps. The other end of the slab jacking pump has to be connected in this process. After several processes involving mixing cement, ash and water in recommended ratios, the mixture is pumped into the soil beneath the step to provide enough pressure so as to raise the concrete step. Holes are changed to the next lower step in sequence to fill the void as the mixture is filled into them until the step being worked on is level according to the carpenter level. The raised part is then left to dry.

During this process, less energy and resources are used thereby making the technique cost effective. Unlike other forms of repairs that require almost similar materials and resources as used during construction, this method rising is always a half or a third the cost of replacement. Less cement is also needed for the sunken place to be leveled without being scraped wholly.

To safeguard the environment, there is need for environmental friendly innovation to replace cumbersome machines that emit huge carbon gases which threaten existence of flora and fauna. This technique therefore just does that owing to its name green alternative. This is because it uses less fuel hence minimum emulsion to pollute the air. Also, neither noise nor landscape degradation is experienced when the method is used.

Due to systematic processes involved in this method, durability is guaranteed. Quality and sure result realized by this technology before speaks for it self. With a carpenter lever placed beside the area being raised, doubt is excluded. Also the fact that minimal time is required for ultimate results to be seen makes this form of construction efficient and among the most reliable in the world.

There is a saying that goes: time is money and that time wasted cannot be recovered. In application of this service, adequate time is saved as many processes involved are machine aided. Unlike in other forms of construction where the building is given a long grace period to dry, slab raising only needs hours and the place is ready for occupation.

In general, this wonder working technology in the building and construction industry has proved to be most efficient in producing quality and durable results. The method is also pocket friendly besides being environmental conscious. The world is embracing concrete raising as it is effortless.
