Grain bins place tremendous weight on the concrete and soil beneath them. Over time, weak soils, voids, erosion, or poor compaction can cause the supporting slab to settle. Even minor movement can create operational issues, safety concerns, drainage problems, and unnecessary stress on the structure.
At Jacksonville Contracting, we help agricultural property owners stabilize and restore settled grain bin slabs using proven concrete lifting, soil stabilization, and void filling solutions. Our goal is to address the underlying problem and help restore long-term support beneath the structure.
Grain bins create concentrated loads that can expose weaknesses beneath the concrete. When the supporting soils shift or lose strength, settlement can occur.
Common causes include:
Ignoring settlement can allow the problem to worsen, potentially leading to additional structural stress and repair costs.
Many agricultural and commercial property owners also require services such as soil stabilization, void filling, compaction grouting, and concrete floor repair when settlement issues are discovered.
Settlement often starts gradually before becoming more noticeable over time.
Common warning signs include:
Early intervention can help prevent more extensive repairs and improve long-term stability.
We use proven lifting and stabilization methods designed to strengthen support beneath the structure while minimizing disruption.
Small, strategically placed holes are drilled through the concrete so we can access the voids and weak areas beneath the slab.
Mudjacking material or polyurethane foam is pumped beneath the concrete to fill voids, stabilize the base, and raise the slab.
Once the concrete is stabilized, the access holes are patched, the work area is cleaned, and most surfaces can be used the same day.
Addressing settlement early can help protect both the structure and the surrounding concrete.
