Preserving public value, minimizing disruption
Municipalities in the UAE face a dual challenge: maintaining a vast portfolio of aging assets while delivering uninterrupted services to a growing population.
Traditional repair methods—like underpinning or reconstruction—often mean closing schools, evacuating hospitals, or shutting down public parks for weeks.
Geobear offers a smarter alternative. Our geopolymer injection technology allows us to stabilize ground and re-level structures with zero excavation and minimal noise. We work fast, often completing projects during holidays or night shifts, so public services continue as normal.
What we help with
Historic and public building foundation support
We provide non-invasive ground support for historic buildings and public facilities, protecting them from structural damage.
Public road and footpath re-levelling
We lift and re-level subsided road sections and footpaths to ensure a safe surface for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Bridge and viaduct approach stabilisation
We strengthen the ground beneath bridge approaches, preventing settlement and extending the life of the structure.
Void filling in urban areas
We fill washouts and voids in the subgrade, restoring the integrity of the ground beneath public spaces.
