Office Buildings and Retail Outlets

However, if the building has suffered subsidence as a result of weak foundations, weak ground, ground movement, unstable ground, or soil liquefaction, then trip hazards could become a serious concern. Unlevel floors can create lips between joints that lead to accidents and injury.

Furthermore, subsidence can cause structural damage ranging from mild to severe. In mild cases, structural damage can include cracked walls, jammed doors, and jammed windows. In more severe cases, doors and windows may not be able to be secured and buildings can even become uninhabitable due to a lack of structural integrity. To protect your business’s reputation and avoid undue costs, it is essential to address sinking buildings and unlevel floors without delay.

Whether the premises have been affected by large holes or large voids forming under foundations, experienced ground movement due to soil instability, or suffered damage following an earthquake or neighbouring construction works, Mainmark can help.

Mainmark applies one of its proprietary engineered solutions to fill holes and voids, deliver ground stabilisation, provide liquefaction mitigation, and help prevent further damage being caused as a result of sinking floors, sinking slabs, and sinking foundations. Using a technique similar to keyhole surgery, we inject our Teretek resin to where it’s needed. The material expands and compacts the ground to create an incredibly strong foundation ground that resists future movement and helps raise and re-level the structure or building. If a large or more complex building needs to be lifted to achieve re-levelling, cementitious grouts are applied under precise computer control. Advanced grout monitors ensure minimal stress is placed on the structure throughout the process, as all sections of the building are supported and lifted evenly and gradually via sequenced injections of the low-viscosity grout.

Our team of highly experienced and qualified technicians can complete these treatments in as little as a few days or even hours, depending on the nature and extent of the problem. Our solutions are more affordable and less disruptive than traditional methods such as demolishing and rebuilding, excavating, or concrete underpinning.

In high foot traffic areas, these non-invasive remediation works can remove trip hazards and other related safety concerns to better protect workers, customers, and the wider public. Our solutions are non-toxic, environmentally inert, and minimally disruptive. In many cases, you’ll be able to continue to operate as normal while we carry out the re-levelling. You often won’t even need to move the furniture or equipment.
