Settled concrete is commonly a result of poor soil conditions bellow a slab. You need a solution that doesn't overburden the already weak soil, fills any voids, raises concrete, and never loses its density. Polyurethane offers all of this and more. See the difference for yourself.

Setting GWP Budgets for Concrete Buildings with LCA Based Carbon Accounting Tools
This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Design professionals have always addressed issues of performance, budgets, and aesthetics. Now they are also being asked to evaluate the environmental burdens of their material choices. Every design decision can have an impact on the environment. The methods used to evaluate those decisions can often be misunderstood. This presentation examines the process of quantifying the true global warming potential (GWP) to accurately inform the true impacts of building material choices.
Tools like the web based NRMCA Concrete Carbon Calculator help concrete producers, contractors and design teams to collaborate on setting carbon budgets on projects and compares baseline projects to proposed projects to exceed embodied carbon reduction goals. Step-by-step details will demonstrate how to use the tool to set a carbon budget and write a specification that allows for the lowest possible carbon footprint for the ready mixed concrete proposed for various projects.
Value by Design
Today, the on-site, DIY approach to wood concrete forming fabrication is rapidly giving way to the precision, convenience, and speed of ready-made, turnkey systems. Read the following 10 reasons why contractors for structural forming, road and bridge, and water treatment projects nationwide are teaming up with UFP for their forming needs.
Landmark Survey Reveals Overlooked Profit Opportunities for Architectural Precasters
A groundbreaking national survey sheds new light on how precasters can take advantage of exciting new advances in demold cycle times, weight reduction, LEED-friendly compositions, and other fabrication factors to scale-up sales and profits."
Landmark Survey Reveals Vast New Profit Opportunity for Concrete Product Distributors

Cost Effective Net Zero Energy Concrete School Construction Strategies
This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Zero-energy school construction is a growing trend across the country. A combination of advanced energy-efficiency strategies, affordable solar power, combined with innovative concrete exterior wall assemblies is making it possible. Systems like insulating concrete forms and tilt-up construction combine strength and durability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency of continuous rigid insulation.
This presentation describes zero-energy strategies along with details on how to take advantage of the high R-value, thermal mass, with lower air infiltration concrete envelopes can provide, to offer school districts both lower first costs and long-term operating savings. Project examples are shared to demonstrate the proven performance benefits now being realized nationwide.
Why Adopt 3D Printing Construction Now?
Labor and housing shortages abound. 3D construction printing revolutionizes the industry by expediting construction processes. Build faster - increase productivity and efficiencies with automation; reduce the need for as many skilled trade workers on-site; and improve sustainability.
