Floor re-levelling without disruption

A dependable ground improvement solution ensures level, stable slabs for the effective operation of equipment, vehicles, and even foot traffic

Mainmark has been re-levelling factories, warehouses, and hardstand areas for nearly 30 years using proven, non-invasive solutions to maintain productivity.

Our experienced team uses quick and cost effective solutions to improve fragile or sinking foundations caused by weak ground beneath factories and warehouses. Filling large voids and holes will re-level and support sinking slabs or floors, reducing costly operational and safety issues

Key challenges faced by New Zealand’s Warehouse & Distribution sector include

Warehouse & forklift traffic

Over time, traffic can cause deterioration of the slab edge. The resulting misaligned concrete slab joints are a hazard for forklift operations. As the forklift travels across the step between the slabs, a jolt can cause the load on the fork to move.

Driveways & truck yards

Open slab joints allow rainwater to infiltrate the subgrade beneath the transport yard pavement. As trucks travel across the slab, the soil fines are pumped out from underneath the slab, removing the slab’s support. Over time, the void beneath the slab increases.

 

 

Machinery & equipment support

Vibrations from machinery can cause the founding soils to settle and base slabs to subside. In extreme cases, the vibrating machinery can cause the surrounding slab to bounce up and down, causing distress to people working nearby.

Factory and Warehouse Floor Re-Levelling FAQs
What causes warehouse floors or factory slabs to sink?

Warehouse floors and factory slabs can sink when the ground beneath the concrete loses support. Common causes include weak sub-grade soils, voids beneath slabs, water infiltration through open joints, truck or forklift traffic, poor drainage, machinery vibration and long-term ground settlement. If the floor is uneven, cracked or moving, it should be assessed before the issue affects safety or operations.

Can a sinking warehouse floor be re-levelled without replacing the slab?

In many cases, yes. If the concrete slab is suitable, Mainmark can use non-invasive slab lifting and ground improvement methods to fill voids, compact weak ground and raise affected areas back towards level. This can often avoid demolition, slab replacement and extended operational downtime.

How does Mainmark lift and re-level warehouse concrete slabs?

Mainmark drills small holes through the affected slab, then injects Teretek® material beneath the concrete. The material expands quickly to fill voids, compact loose or weak sub-grade soils and re-support the slab. Continued injection can raise the slab, and treated areas can often return to full operation immediately after the work is completed.

Why are uneven slab joints a problem for forklift operations?

Misaligned concrete slab joints can create a hazard for forklift traffic. When a forklift travels across a raised or sunken slab edge, the jolt can shift the load, increase wear on tyres and equipment, and create safety risks for operators and nearby workers. Re-levelling can help restore a safer, smoother operating surface.

Can slab lifting reduce downtime in a busy warehouse or distribution centre?

Yes. Mainmark’s slab lifting and floor re-levelling methods are designed to minimise disruption in operational environments. Because the repair process is targeted, fast-curing and non-invasive, treated slab sections can often be returned to use quickly, helping warehouses, factories and distribution centres maintain productivity.

Can Mainmark repair voids beneath warehouse floors and hardstand areas?

Yes. Mainmark provides void filling and ground improvement solutions for warehouses, factories, truck yards, hardstands, driveways and loading areas. Filling voids beneath slabs helps restore support, reduce settlement and improve the performance of concrete surfaces exposed to heavy vehicles, machinery or frequent traffic.

What are the signs a factory or warehouse floor needs re-levelling?

Warning signs include uneven slab joints, sunken concrete, rocking slabs, cracks, bouncy floor sections, trip hazards, ponding water, forklift jolts, damaged joint edges or machinery vibration affecting the slab. These issues can indicate weak ground, voids or settlement beneath the concrete floor.

How much does warehouse slab lifting cost in New Zealand?

The cost depends on the size of the affected area, the amount of settlement, access requirements, slab condition, ground conditions and the repair method required. A site assessment is the best way to identify the cause of the floor movement and receive a detailed quote for the most practical repair approach.
