Solving the FM's toughest challenge: disruption

As a Facility or Property Manager in the UAE, you are the first line of defense. When a villa owner sees a crack, or a warehouse tenant reports a sinking floor, they expect an immediate fix.

Traditional repairs—like underpinning or tearing out concrete—are a nightmare for FMs. They mean noise, dust, angry tenants, and weeks of lost rent or downtime.

Geobear offers a better way. We are the "keyhole surgery" solution for buildings. We fix the ground problem from the outside or through tiny holes, often in just one day. No moving out, no excavation, no complaints.

The technical "Why"

Why building foundations in the UAE fail

Your owners and stakeholders need to know why this is happening. It isn't just "settlement"—it is often a specific geotechnical failure common to the region.

We don't just patch the crack; we treat the ground to solve the root cause.

Sabkha collapse: Many coastal developments are built on salt-rich Sabkha soil. When this gets wet (from rain or leaks), it dissolves and collapses, causing sudden drops in villas and roads.

Sand washout: Leaking pools or utilities wash away fine sand particles, creating dangerous voids under foundations.

Poor compaction: Reclaimed land often settles over time, leading to sinking driveways and uneven warehouse floors.

Solutions for your specific portfolio

We understand that managing a luxury villa requires a different approach than managing a busy logistics center.

Case study

Ground improvement at Atlantis The Palm

New dual filter foundations at Atlantis The Palm required ground improvement due to loose sandy soil. However, the site was congested with critical buried utilities (water mains, gas, conduits), making traditional compaction methods like vibro-compaction impossible due to the risk of damage.
