Problem: Uneven Sidewalks Creating Dangerous Trip Hazards on Campus
Hendrix College in Conway, AR faced multiple areas of sidewalk slab settlement across its campus, creating uneven walking surfaces and significant trip hazards for students and staff. With constant foot traffic between buildings like Axiom/Reynolds Hall, Dickinson Residence, Harden Hall, and the commercial complex, these sunken concrete slabs posed both safety risks and liability concerns. Previous contractor experiences had left the facilities team seeking a more reliable, professional solution that prioritized both results and service.
Solution: PolyLevel Concrete Lifting and NexusPro Joint Sealing System
Our team installed the PolyLevel system to lift and stabilize the sunken sidewalk slabs, restoring them to their proper position with precision. To ensure long-term durability, we applied NexusPro joint sealant across all repaired areas, protecting against water intrusion and future soil erosion. Despite access challenges—such as navigating narrow 8-inch walkways and carefully maneuvering equipment near landscaped areas—we successfully reached each repair zone. Specialized planning, including mapped access routes and strategic equipment placement, allowed us to complete the project efficiently. Even complex areas like the Dickinson Residence slab, which combined large stone and a concrete base, were stabilized effectively.
Why It Matters: Long-Term Sidewalk Stability and Student Safety
By using advanced polyurethane foam injection (PolyLevel) and high-performance joint sealing (NexusPro), Hendrix College secured a long-lasting repair backed by a five-year warranty. These methods not only eliminated immediate trip hazards but also helped prevent future settlement, ensuring safer walkways for thousands of daily users. The project demonstrated how the right materials and a well-executed installation plan can deliver reliable results—even in challenging access conditions—without disrupting campus operations.
