We effectively and permanently repair common damage in industrial facilities, such as deteriorated expansion joints, scratches, cracks, spalling, and anchor holes. At Probeton, we use advanced technology that redefines service standards by focusing on innovation and rapid turnaround. Our concrete floor repair services rely on modern materials that allow for rapid renovation and the immediate restoration of the facility to service. Crucially, our systems are completely odorless—renovating a hall or warehouse does not have to mean dealing with unpleasant fumes or having to halt the entire team’s work.
Repairing Expansion Joints in Industrial Floor Slabs
Expansion joints are intentionally cut slots in concrete that protect the entire floor from cracking. Although they are absolutely essential, from a structural engineering perspective, they are the most vulnerable points of any industrial floor. It is precisely at their edges that the greatest stresses are concentrated, which is why unprotected or poorly protected concrete in these areas is most likely to spall and deteriorate under the impact of daily traffic.
Ignoring even minor damage to expansion joints is a surefire way to serious financial and logistical problems. The poor technical condition of these gaps is the main culprit behind the drastic increase in forklift maintenance costs—every time a solid tire strikes a chipped edge, it damages the vehicle’s suspension, bearings, and electronics. Worse still, deep damage to expansion joints poses a real threat to safety in the facility. It can become a direct cause of dangerous workplace accidents, leading to loss of stability in transported loads, damage to expensive goods, and even a sudden jolt that could injure the forklift operator. At Probeton, we repair expansion joints before a small defect brings your warehouse or production operations to a standstill.
Contraction joints
These are cuts designed to control the natural behavior of concrete. We repair them using advanced, high-density, semi-rigid filling compounds. This material provides a solid backing for the edges of the crack, effectively protecting them from chipping and allowing them to safely withstand the massive dynamic loads generated by forklift wheels. We level the entire repair surface with the floor, ensuring a perfectly smooth ride.
Construction Joints
They form at the points where one stage of concrete pouring ended and the next began. They are highly susceptible to so-called “keying” (vertical movement of the slabs). We repair them using ultra-high-strength resins and polymer mortars, which permanently bond the edges, stabilize adjacent slabs, and withstand continuous, heavy vehicular traffic.
Structural expansion joints
They are located in the areas subject to the heaviest loads, mainly in the passageways between the halls. They bear the heaviest loads because they separate structures that are independent of one another. To repair them, we use state-of-the-art, prefabricated carbon-fiber-reinforced composite profiles. Thanks to their special sinusoidal wave design, vehicle wheels remain in constant contact with the profile, completely eliminating impacts, vibrations, and noise. Since the system contains no steel, it does not corrode; it is sanded completely flush with the floor and can be installed at a minimal depth, which minimizes installation time and hall downtime.

Comfort and Safety – Concrete Repair Without Unpleasant Odors
Unlike traditional repair systems, our resin-based concrete repair materials and protective coatings do not emit unpleasant odors. This is crucial for facilities with strict sanitary requirements and locations where renovation is carried out without interrupting operations:
- Food and pharmaceutical industries: No risk of odors transferring to products.
- Public facilities: Schools, hospitals, and offices can operate without causing any inconvenience to their users.
- Working in active production areas: Your employees are not exposed to irritating chemical fumes.

Extreme speed and excellent adhesion
- Cures in 30 minutes: Our concrete repair resins reach full strength in half an hour, allowing you to finish the job in no time.
- Excellent adhesion to concrete: The material deeply penetrates the pores of the substrate, forming a monolithic whole with it. As a result, repaired expansion joints and cracks can withstand even the most intense forklift traffic.
Resin Flooring in 24 Hours
The resin coatings we use for surface protection provide the perfect finish when renovating concrete floors. They ensure:
- Quick Reuse: Small areas can be restored within 1 day.
- Color and texture retention: They do not flake and are UV-stable.
- Environmentally friendly: The low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) makes the application process odorless and safe.

Benefits for the customer
Thanks to materials that cure in 30 minutes, we repair expansion joints and defects without the need to take entire zones out of service.
An ideally smooth and repaired floor means a radical reduction in forklift operating costs.
The odorless nature of our materials allows renovation work to be carried out without the risk of product contamination from odors.
A permanently repaired floor eliminates the risk of employee trips and overturned loads.
No production downtime and weekend work
Thanks to the use of fast-drying technology, we can install resin floors and repair expansion joints at an express pace of 24 hours, for example over weekends. We return the facility to full use in just one day, eliminating costly interruptions to your operations.
Longevity without corrosion and slab curling
The use of advanced mortars that deeply penetrate concrete and composite carbon-fiber-reinforced profiles guarantees that the repaired zones form a monolithic whole with the floor. The absence of steel components excludes the risk of rust, permanently eliminating the problem of slab curling and rocking.
