THE PROBLEM

Settlement in two large warehouse slabs caused uneven floor levels that affected the safe and reliable operation of the mobile racking systems

THE SOLUTION

The warehouse floors were stabilised and re‑levelled using geopolymer injection, restoring the slabs to the required tolerance without any excavation or disruption to ongoing warehouse operations

Customer needs

The warehouse owner needed to re‑level two large floor slabs to allow the mobile racking system to operate safely, while keeping the facility running throughout the works.

OBJECTIVES

To stabilise and re‑level the sunken warehouse floor slabs, restore the required floor tolerance across all racking banks, and ensure business continuity throughout the treatment process.

THE SOLUTION

URETEK teams first tackled hot spots in the flooring to enable the racking system to work on a temporary basis. Expanding geopolymer resins were injected through 15–20 mm diameter holes drilled through the floor slab. The material expanded aggressively to fill voids, then further injection gently lifted the flooring back to level. The degree of lift was precisely controlled using laser level monitoring. The team moved section to section, with each bank of racking taking approximately 6 days, leaving the rest of the warehouse operational at all times.

OUTCOME

We completed the programme of work within 30 days, achieving the target floor levels within a millimetre, and returned the warehouse to full operation without any disruption to storage activities.
