The crew also installed hot dip galvanized adjustable steel Smart Jacks, this was completed by digging 24x24" foundation pits, filling the excavation with compacted crushed rock creating an engineered fill. They then install the a pre-cast foundation base, attach and adjust Smart Jacks, for proper elevation and load bearing of the supporting floors.

Riverside, Ca. Apartment Community Receives a Face-Lift Through Saber's Commercial Concrete Grinding
A Riverside, Ca. apartment community was having issues with tree roots raising concrete slabs on a few of their walkways. In many areas, the concrete had become uneven due to soil settlement over the years. The manager of maintenance at the community wanted to fix the trip hazards as soon as possible with little disruption. Some of the slabs in major traffic areas were misaligned up to 2", creating a danger for families walking to and from their homes.
Though a few of the cracked and broken slabs needed total replacement, Saber was able to come out, walk the property, and discover that they could grind down 37 areas, leveling out the concrete without having to rip out large portions of the slab. Residents were able to go about their day walking to and from their homes without major disruption.
The property maintenance manager was pleased that the project took only 2 days of dustless grinding to finish and that Saber was able to keep each grind area free from multiple types of equipment and waste. It was a hassle-free way to ensure the concrete in the community was level and free from trip hazards.
