Concrete Jacking Serving Fort Worth
If concrete jacking is a service you require, you will appreciate knowing that Nortex is a licensed road-construction company based in Fort Worth, Texas specializing in the lifting and stabilization of faulty concrete panels. Uneven concrete slabs can result in trip hazards or other accidents that can, possibly, generate liability lawsuits.
Concrete lifting and stabilization – which is synonymous with ‘slab-jacking’ or ‘concrete jacking’ – offers many benefits. One huge benefit is the savings – usually, half the expense of new concrete! At Nortex, we utilize high-density polyurethane foam which is injected beneath the concrete slab, raising it to the desired position. Concrete jacking, of this type, is extremely effective and is, commonly, utilized in a multitude of venues including municipal, industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
Another Nortex specialization is concrete grinding. Our signature concrete grinding process, ‘PolyGrinding’, has a two-fold purpose: it addresses any issues below a concrete slab and it addresses issues of defective pavement on top of a slab. Polyurethane-foam injection and concrete joint grinding will remedy and enhance the soils as well as grind down any offset joints above the soil’s surface.
US transportation departments, heartily, approve of concrete jacking with foam injections and concrete grinding as excellent repair options. They are, unarguably, less time-consuming and more cost-effective when compared to full-depth repair and dowel bar retrofit.
You can count on Nortex’s reputation for unrivaled expertise and exceptional customer care. Our seasoned professionals offer more than 35 years of combined experience. This is paramount to meet the needs of our 100+ clients, nation-wide.

Our polyurethane foam is hydrophobic, meaning it is completely unaffected by wet-soil conditions. It is impressively effective – the foam prevents water from penetrating beneath the pavement, and the foam cures within minutes. Many people find it quite astounding that the treated area can be used, almost, immediately. This, of course, minimizes delays and disruption.
Concrete jacking with foam injections and concrete grinding are the perfect repair solutions for:
*** Airport Runways – cracking and severe pavement settlement due to poor base and sub-grade soils – efficient repairs allow for quickly-resumed flight operations.
*** Bridges – slab settlement at approach and departure areas caused by unstable foundation soils, water penetration, and constant impact and pressure – soils are stabilized and strengthened, eliminating future settlement and erosion.
*** Pavements – faulted pavements due to poorly-compacted foundation soils, water penetration, and heavy tractor-trailer loads – polyurethane-foam injections and ‘PolyGrinding’ are, commonly, used here.
*** Industrial/Commercial – settlement due to voids beneath concrete foundations – foundations are quickly repositioned to achieve original elevation. The foundation-lifting process can extend the life of slabs that are still viable.
*** Infrastructure – leaks, voids, and deterioration of large pipes, culverts, manholes, drop inlets, and more due to water infiltration, settling, poor compaction of foundation soils, etc. – costly repairs, such as excavation, can be bypassed.
*** Ponding Water – pooling of water, where the pavement has settled, caused by water erosion of sub-grade soils – polyurethane-foam injections lift the concrete to its proper grade, allowing for proper water flow.
*** Sidewalk Division – settling of sidewalks resulting in trip hazards – the lightweight property of sidewalks, when compared to other concrete structures, means extra care must be taken during the lifting and leveling. Our three crews specialize in this delicate operation where preventing over-lifting is critical. Sidewalks can be lifted back to their original position in as little as 30 minutes.
*** Soil Densification – pavement-surface failures caused by weak or insufficient support in the foundation soil – patching or replacing the surface pavement and the replacement of foundation soils can be ineffective, temporary, and costly. Nortex’s polyurethane-foam injections strengthen the subgrade soils to extend the life of the surface pavement.
