Slabjack Geotechnical, a family-owned concrete repair company serving Washington and Northern Idaho, offers specialized airport runway concrete repair services designed to meet the demanding structural and safety requirements of modern airfields. Airports require a higher standard of performance than other concrete environments due to extreme loads from commercial jets, cargo aircraft, and military vehicles, as well as continuous traffic cycles, moisture intrusion, and freeze-thaw cycles. The company uses engineered polymer injection systems that cure into a hard, durable grout to fill voids, stabilize subgrade soils, correct differential settlement, and reinforce slabs, ensuring FAA- and DOT-compliant surface performance.
According to the company, standard concrete fixes are insufficient for airport slabs because of concentrated stresses from aircraft and ground support vehicles. Their method addresses issues such as void formation, slab rocking, and cracking caused by repetitive loading and vibration. By providing uniform support beneath concrete, Slabjack Geotechnical reduces joint deterioration, minimizes fatigue damage, and helps prevent foreign object debris (FOD) risks that could compromise aircraft safety. Compared to full slab replacement, this approach extends the life of airfield surfaces while preserving structural continuity across large paved areas.
Airports throughout Washington and Northern Idaho rely on Slabjack Geotechnical for structurally sound and compliant concrete repair solutions. The company has locations in Spokane, Tri-Cities, Wenatchee, and Puget Sound. Founded in 2011 by Jerald and Ann Sargent, Slabjack Geotechnical offers a full range of services including slabjacking (concrete raising), pressure grouting, concrete crack and joint sealing, and sealing of leaking culverts and pipes.
