"Never Settle"
1. A pattern of holes are drilled through the sunken concrete 2. Material is then pumped under the slab raising the slab and filling the voids
3. The holes are then patched with cement.

About the Company Eco Concrete Levelling Ltd. is a Saskatchewan based company that provides many services such as: Concrete Lifting & Levelling Concrete Slab Stabilization Soil Stabilization Void Filling & Pipe Decommissioning The high-density polyurethane foams used in our processes have a quick cure time, are hydrophobic, act as a moisture barrier, and are lightweight and eco friendly. These foams can be used in commercial, residential, industrial and municipal applications and are:
Cost Effective
Safe and Solid
Eco-Friendly
Durable
Avoid the high cost of concrete tear-out and replacement.
No chemicals leach into the ground.
Minimally Invasive Installation is fast and efficient.
The foam is inert & will not shrink or shrivel over time.
Unaffected by water, and most chemicals
Quick and Clean Minimal downtime & minimal damage to surrounding landscaping
High density polyurethane can spread into voids as small as 1 /32". It expands and flows into cracks and voids far beyond the initial injection hole. When restricted, the density of the polyurethane will increase. In unrestricted conditions, polyurethane foam will rise and maintain a density of at least 2.5 lbs/cubic ft. Polyurethane Foam density will vary depending on restriction conditions, but maintains a compressive strength of at least 75 psi, or more for higher density foams.

When a concrete surface is no longer providing safe, solid support due to settlement issues, prompt action is necessary before the problem gets worse. Before you demolish the concrete slab, consider the advantages of polyurethane foam, an innovative alternative to common concrete remediation methods like mud-jacking, concrete grinding, and total concrete replacement. The polyurethane system utilizes a high-strength mixture that expands to fill voids under concrete, stabilize soil, and lift concrete slabs. With multiple formulas available, polyurethane can be customized to fit the requirements of any commercial, industrial or municipal job.

Eco Polyurethane Injection Process
The Eco polyurethane injection process is used to lift, level and stabilize concrete slabs. This method offers superior results compared to other traditional methods when lifting and stabilizing sunken slabs due to its superior characteristics such as:
COST-EFFECTIVENESS - The polyurethane foam injection method avoids the high cost of tear out and replacement. If down-time means money, our solution is the one for you.
QUICK CURE TIME - Our non-intrusive process along with fast curing times allow for the repaired area to be fully functional within 15 minutes of injection, opposed to days or weeks when using traditional methods.
HYDROPHOBIC - High-density polyurethane can be used in wet applications and has the same chemical reaction and properties as with dry applications. MOISTURE BARRIER - Polyurethane foam is entirely waterproof and almost completely impermeable to other liquids offering a strong, watertight containment system. It is also unaffected by freeze-thaw cycles.
LIGHTWEIGHT - Weighing less than 150 pounds per cubic yard, high-density polyurethane
is comparably over 2,220 pounds LESS weight per cubic yard than traditional mud-jacking material. When using polyurethane foam, you are adding little additional overburden weight to an already distressed sub-grade. 5 ECOLEVEL.CA
Product Capabilities Why Does Concrete Settle? The stability of a concrete slab is directly proportional to the quality of the base on which it is poured.
Poor Base Conditions are Caused by: Poor or Improper Compaction of The Base: Failure to properly compact base materials before pouring can lead to hastened settling. The weight of the slab will further compact the base after curing concrete and settlement can happen quickly.
Climate: The freeze and thaw cycle experienced in many regions causes the ground underneath the slab to expand when frost is present. This will cause slabs to heave or raise. When frost melts, the slabs will settle and most often not to their original elevation. Slabs may become uneven resulting in trip spots. Drought often causes soil, such as expansive clays to shrink, causing settling issues for concrete slabs. When expansive clay soils encounter wet conditions, they may swell leading to shifting concrete that needs levelling.
Erosion: Many factors can lead to eroded base materials under concrete. Damaged waterlines or
sewer lines can lead to washout of base materials, causing slabs to settle. Improperly placed downspouts can cause pooling of water, which can lead to erosion. Waves or flow can cause washout on bodies of water, lakes & river-seawalls. Machine/Traffic Vibrations: Concrete slabs may move or settle in industrial/highway settings where movement and heavy loads are present. The vibrations from the machinery and passing traffic can lead to the base compacting and the slabs settling or slab movement.
Slab Curl/Rocking Slabs: Slab curl occurs when a relatively large section of concrete is poured. During the curing process, the top of the slab may cure slightly faster. This leads to slabs that curl, may rock and become unstable. Vibrations and heavy traffic may also cause slabs to unevenly settle or move.
Lift and Level Support Fill Voids Stabilize Soils Slabs and structures need a consistent layer of support. ECOLEVEL.CA

Environmental Impact of Eco's Polyurethane Foams Eco's Foams are made from recycled and bio-based components, making it the “greenest”
polyurethane foam on the market. The American Society for Testing and Material standards (ASTM) stated that this recycled material is the best foam available for raising concrete and stabilizing soils.
Saves our Natural Resources
Made with Bio-based and/or Recycled Material Lasts a Lifetime
Non-Toxic and Non-Hazardous Major toxic chemicals, often associated with some types of polyurethanes, such as toluene, and VOCs are NOT USED IN ECO FOAMS! Most of what is warned against on the Internet pertains to these chemicals/polyurethanes.
Cured Foam is Fully inert Does Not Leach into Groundwate r
Uses Environmentally Friendly Blowing Agents
VOC Exempt US EPA SNAP Listed Non-Ozone Depleting Low GWP
Cured Polyurethane Safety Summary Health Effects:
Polyurethane foam consists of fully reacted polymers that are considered non-hazardous per OSHA 29 CFR1910.1200 The primary adverse health effects of cured polyurethane are related to dust generated by sanding, grinding or cutting the cured foam. Similar to saw dust, or other fine powders, dust from polyurethane foam may irritate respiratory organs, eyes, and skin. Protective gloves, eye protection and a dust mask should be worn when fabricating or cutting polyurethane foam. Not listed as a carcinogen.
Ecological Information:
Not a marine pollutant Does not bio-accumulate No mobility within soil
Disposal: Can be disposed of as ordinary industrial waste in compliance with local, provincial and federal regulations

Bandit Soil Treatment What is Bandit? Bandit Soil Treatment solidifies loose & granular soils. Eliminating erosion while creating a barrier that no weeds can penetrate. 5 gallons will treat anywhere from 60 to 300 square feet of material depending on application requirements and lasts for years.
Bandit Strength Depending on the amount of Bandit that is applied per sq. ft. and the type of granular material being used, the compression strength will vary. Bandit was lab-tested using smaller ''pea-gravel". With 10 oz per sq. ft. being applied, the compressive strength was an astonishing 11.8 mpa. Note: 10 mpa concrete is commonly used for patios and walkways.
Applying Bandit • Bandit can be applied by simply pouring it onto the soil that is to be treated. • For larger projects, Bandit can be applied by spraying. • Bandit can be injected into the ground to support items such as posts, or to solidify the
ground for above surface struct.ures.
Projects: Soil Erosion
Weed Control When applied on top of the ground, Bandit acts as the ultimate weed barrier. Once Bandit has cured, it forms an impenetrable crust that vegetation cannot grow through. Not to mention it looks great!
Bandit Soil Treatment is a low viscosity, single component resin, designed to bind and stabilize loose soils. When applied topically Bandit creates a barrier, helping eliminate soil erosion.
