Geological & Climate Engineering Analysis

Overcoming Expansive Clay Settlement & Slab Fractures in West Oahu

Kapolei, Ewa Beach, and Pearl City properties frequently sit atop expansive clay soils and coral-fill subgrades. Alternate cycles of intense Leeward solar heat and sudden storm runoff cause underlying soils to shrink and swell, leading to differential slab settling, uneven tile floors, sticky door headers, and garage slab heave. Our C-31 partners inject high-density expanding structural polyurethane foam to re-level sunken slabs in hours without messy concrete demolition.

City & County of Honolulu DPP Permitting Support

Non-structural foam slab lifting does not require permits; deep hydraulic push pier underpinning requires Honolulu DPP building permits.

Kailua, OahuAugust 2026
Project Scope: Carport Beam Spalling Remediation

“Our Lanikai carport had severe rebar rust popping off chunks of concrete from trade wind salt exposure. The C-31 contractor team saw-cut clean margins, sandblasted the rebar, and installed galvanic zinc anodes. Passed all inspections cleanly and the structural patch blends seamlessly.”

Project Scope: Hillside CMU Retaining Wall Stabilization

“Our 9-foot hillside CMU wall was developing stair-step shear fractures due to heavy valley rainfall and soil moisture. The engineering team cored clean relief weep holes, pressure-grouted the hollow cells, and installed carbon-fiber helical tiebacks. Outstanding craftsmanship.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete Spalling FAQs in Oahu

Everything you need to know about structural remediation in Hawaii.

Small penny-sized holes (5/8 inch) are drilled through the sunken slab. A two-part hydrophobic structural polyurethane is injected beneath the concrete. It expands forcefully in seconds, compacting loose sub-base soils and gently raising the concrete slab back to level elevation.
