mudjacking/slabjacking
(OP)
Has anyone ever come across any regulations or performance specifications for mudjacking/slabjacking? My company was contacted by a business owner who has a number of sunken (1" to 4") sidewalk panels & is concerned about lawsuits from tripping pedestrians. After determining that the cause was poor compaction & not cavitation or water ponding, we were prepared to recommend slabjacking. We have no firsthand experience with this procedure & can't find any mention of regulatory agencies or construction standards in any on-line information for this remediation. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had a project about 20 years ago where we jacked some slab panels in a toll plaza. I was the resident engineer. The panels had settled up to 2". We couldn't completely raise the raise the panels; just didn't work the way the designer specified things; but we were able to seal all of the voids.

Mudjacking might not get them perfectly level or aligned....
Mudjacking does however have its place and works quite well with certain applications.
