Foam Used To Fill Structural Voids At Mystique Community Ice Center

More than 12,000 pounds of foam was injected this fall under a floor slab of Dubuque’s ice center to allow the facility to operate at full capacity, but more-costly work at the facility remains on the horizon. The foam was injected below the lower-level main floor at Mystique Community Ice Center to fill structural voids and level the slab, which had settled by more than 4 inches in areas due to the compression of subsurface sediment. The work cost over $96,000, and City Council members this week voted to accept the project and authorize paying a geotechnical contractor that did the work.
