VP of Sales, Alchatek
Andy Powell leads Alchatek's contractor sales and technical training programs. In this session, he walks you through everything you need to know about Deep Lock — from the science behind two-component polyurethane to real-world project math, equipment requirements, and field techniques.
This training is built for contractors who already understand single-component poly lifting and want to add the most profitable service in geotechnical repair to their portfolio. Andy covers real job numbers, actual project case studies, and the step-by-step process to start selling and delivering Deep Lock work.
Why Deep Lock
Here's what adding Deep Lock to your business actually gets you — in revenue, capability, and competitive positioning.
Deep Lock projects typically price at 2–3x what single-component poly lifting brings in. A loading dock that earns $1,890 with lifting alone becomes a $3,690 job when you add soil stabilization.
Two-component foam is a thermoset — once it cures, it never changes shape. That permanence means your work lasts, your callbacks drop, and you can back every job with confidence.
Without Deep Lock, you're a one-trick pony. Adding soil stabilization lets you handle the complete scope — lift the slab AND fix the root cause — so customers don't need to call someone else.
Roadways, bridges, industrial facilities, DOT contracts, commercial buildings, residential foundations — Deep Lock opens doors that single-component foam simply can't enter.
Inside the Session
Session Walkthrough
Andy walks through every aspect of Deep Lock — from the business case to field execution. Here's the full roadmap of what this training covers.
Andy opens with the business case: Deep Lock doubles your revenue per job, gives you a 10-year warranty to sell against competitors, makes you a full-service contractor, and opens 30+ new market segments. If you're only doing single-component lifting, you're leaving money on the table.
A concrete loading dock scenario breaks down the math: a 10′×10′ slab that's sunk 2 inches needs lifting (single-component, ~$1,890). But the soil underneath is the real problem. Adding Deep Lock soil stabilization brings the total to $3,690 — nearly doubling revenue on the same job, with a warranty that justifies the price.
The technical core: you drill through the slab, drive pipes into the soil below, and inject two-component polyurethane. The foam expands to fill voids, compact loose soil, and create a permanent structural mass. Unlike single-component, two-component poly is a thermoset — once cured, it never changes shape, regardless of temperature or moisture.
Andy shares the flagship Deep Lock case study: NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. A massive facility with 3,721 injection points, completed over multiple phases. This single project generated over $1 million in revenue and demonstrated Deep Lock's capability at industrial scale.
A practical comparison: a fire station project where Deep Lock soil stabilization cost $6,000 versus $14,400 for traditional methods like compaction grouting. Deep Lock delivered the same structural result at less than half the cost — making it an easy sell to facility managers and municipalities.
Deep Lock isn't limited to commercial slabs. Andy covers the full range: roadways and highways, bridge approaches, commercial and industrial buildings, residential foundations, loading docks, warehouse floors, and DOT/municipal contracts. Each application has its own pricing dynamics and sales approach.
Two remarkable case studies: In Hawaii, Deep Lock stabilized the soil under a 3-million-pound house that was sinking into volcanic soil. In Idaho, a contractor went 90 feet deep — the deepest Deep Lock project on record — to stabilize a foundation over an old mine shaft. Both projects demonstrate that Deep Lock can handle situations no other method can touch.
The practical field guide: what equipment you need (DCP — Dynamic Cone Penetrometer, borescope, standard injection rig), how to lay out grid patterns for injection points, spacing guidelines, and how to estimate material quantities and pricing. Andy covers the estimating formula so you can quote Deep Lock jobs confidently from day one.
Andy takes questions from the group covering common objections, pricing strategies, and how to position Deep Lock alongside your existing poly lifting services. The session wraps with clear next steps for contractors ready to start offering Deep Lock in their market.
