Scope:

Madison Square Presbyterian Church classrooms were experiencing foundation movement causing cracks in the existing floor tile. The 118 year old building had been monitored by HDR / Simpson Engineering and Architectural Group for the last five years, showing that the basement slab had continued to settle, leaving the concrete beams heaved up and the floor unleveled.  General Supply was called in to assess the situation and determine the product to solve the problem. Level-Right® Plus was chosen because the 3500 total square foot areas to be leveled varied from 1/4" to 1-3/4" and 2".

After shot blasting the areas to be poured, a 4' square grid pattern was laid out on the floor.  Tapcon screws were then set by laser level to the elevations necessary to level the floor while also keeping a 1/4" nominal thickness at the doors of the classrooms.  All expansion joints were raised to the new level in accordance with the surrounding grid. 

The classrooms were now ready for the new vinyl floor tile.
