Challenges faced on infrastructure sites
Infrastructure assets like railways, roads, pipelines, and airports are built on the ground, making them vulnerable to changing soil conditions. Geobear specializes in addressing the challenges that arise from unstable ground, including settlement, subsidence, and loss of bearing capacity.
Our geopolymer technology is delivered with pinpoint accuracy and precision, strengthening the ground beneath your assets without the need for disruptive excavation.
With over 40 years of experience and more than 200,000 completed projects completed using our technology, we provide solutions that are up to 70% faster and have a 75% lower carbon impact than traditional methods.
Our solutions help you extend the life of your assets and minimize operational downtime.

Poorly compacted soil
We improve the load-bearing capacity of poorly compacted ground, ensuring a stable foundation for infrastructure assets.
Sabkha soil instability
Coastal salt-flat soils are prone to dissolution, collapse, and salt heave. We stabilize Sabkha in-situ to prevent sudden failure.
Water leaks in shoring
Our solutions create an effective, non-intrusive water barrier to prevent water from migrating through sheet piles and cofferdams on construction sites.
Void filling and sinkhole remediation
We fill voids and cavities with our lightweight geopolymer to restore support and prevent collapses.
Inadequate bearing capacity
We improve ground strength beneath existing foundations, allowing assets to withstand additional loads.
Liquefaction
We densify soils with our geopolymer injection process to mitigate the risk of liquefaction in vulnerable areas.
Depressions on pavements
We stabilise the ground beneath rigid and flexible road surfaces to prevent movement and extend the life of the pavement.
Vibration
Our solutions can reduce vibrations from traffic or machinery by dampening the ground and stabilising rocking slabs.
Displacement during tunnelling
We use a real-time displacement control system to compensate for ground settlement caused by tunnelling, protecting nearby structures.
Seawall erosion
Our geopolymer can be injected behind seawalls to fill voids and prevent water from migrating, helping to maintain their integrity.
Asset life extension
By stabilising the ground and preventing movement, our solutions help to extend the operational life of key infrastructure assets
Depressions around manholes
By restoring ground strength and preventing settlement, our solutions protect asset performance and extend the operational life of critical infrastructure.
Sinkholes and gull features
By stabilising voided soils and bridging hidden fissures, Geobear’s ground improvement solutions protect critical infrastructure from sinkholes, gulls, and unexpected subsurface failure.
