Industries
Hospitals, universities, and commercial buildings all stay in constant use, patients, students, and tenants don't stop showing up while a foundation problem gets fixed. When soil beneath a slab or foundation weakens, the building settles, cracks, or shifts, and the repair has to happen around the people already inside. URETEK stabilizes the ground beneath commercial and institutional buildings through small-hole polymer injection, restoring support without the excavation or extended closures a traditional repair would need.
Commercial and institutional buildings share three pressures, whether the asset is a hospital, a campus, or a commercial property.
Settlement and slab movement in buildings that stay occupied and operating throughout the repair, from hospital wings to warehouse floors
Repairs that have to work around the people already using the building, patients, students, tenants, without forcing a closure
Meeting each facility's own timeline pressure, whether that's a semester start date, a shipping season, or simply keeping a business open
Commercial Buildings
URETEK stabilizes soil, slopes, and floor slabs beneath commercial properties, warehouses, retail buildings, hospitality, and multifamily construction, using expanding polymer injection with minimal disruption to tenants and operations.

The slab, foundation, and soil beneath it are evaluated on site, working around the building's active schedule rather than requiring it to close first.
Injection design is built around the specific structure and its use, whether that's a hospital wing, a university facility, or a commercial warehouse floor.
Work is completed through small-hole injection, keeping the building open and operating for patients, students, or tenants throughout the repair.
At a hospital office building in Henderson, Tennessee, where settlement had spread across roughly 160 by 50 feet of the structure, URETEK combined UDI with additional support methods to lift the slab back to grade and stabilize the soil beneath it, not just fill the visible gap. The approach is designed around what the soil testing actually shows, not a generic patch.
The pattern is designed around the specific structure and how it is used. At George Mason University's Jim McKay Natatorium, the fix addressed saturated soils at one end of the pool facility. At a Wyoming state liquor warehouse, the same underlying process repaired and stabilized 12,000 square feet of warehouse floor in three and a half days.
Often, yes. At State Fair Community College in Missouri, URETEK finished the job in just two days with minimal disruption to the building's occupants. At a historic Moxy Hotels building in Cincinnati, Ohio, the repair was completed in a single day.
Usually, yes. The George Mason University natatorium repair was completed in less than two weeks specifically so the university's premier swimming venue could reopen in time for the new semester. Most repairs are scheduled around keeping the building in active use.
Crews can mobilize on short notice. At the Idaho FedEx Ground Distribution Center, URETEK densified soils to a 24-foot depth beneath the front office area without removing the interior slab, keeping the facility functional throughout the repair.
