Featured case study
Hovis slab stabilisation
Settlement beneath an industrial floor slab at a Hovis facility caused voids and loss of support, requiring stabilisation without interrupting production operations.
Re-level sinking floor slabs without stopping operations
Geobear uses geopolymer resin injection to improve ground and resolve sinking floor issues, often without stopping operations.

How do we resolve sinking slabs in just 2 days?
We treat the soil under your home, stabilising the ground, closing cracks and resolving your subsidence issue.
Engineer designed treatment plan
We select from our 60 specialist geopolymers and design a plan to meet the structural requirements of the project.
Drill 16mm holes through slab
The treatment plan usually avoid existing assets and racking, minimising disruption during works.

Resin hardens and cures in minutes
Reaches 95% of mechanical strength (compressive strength of over 7MPa) within 15 minutes
Real time lifting & level control
Laser level monitoring ensures typical tolerances of ±0.25mm and TR34 compliance if required.
Over 32,000 commercial slab lifting projects completed over the past 40 years

Why use Geobear re-levelling solution?
No excavation, no plant, no site compound — racking, machinery and stock stay where they are
Works isolated to a few square metres; the rest of your floor keeps running around us
Small mobile injection unit, dust-free and no wet trades — suitable for live food, pharma and clean environments
Load-bearing in 15 minutes — forklifts back on the slab the same day, not after a 28-day cure
Treats the ground, not the symptom, so it doesn't resettle in three years

Geotechnical diagnostics: Pre-remediation assessment
Prior to commencement, our engineering team conducts a rigorous site assessment to characterise the subsurface profile and identify the primary mechanisms of settlement. Utilizing precision laser-level surveys, we quantify settlement patterns and establish baseline topography. We evaluate structural loading requirements—including racking configurations, machinery specifications, and dynamic traffic loads—to determine the root cause of ground instability, whether resulting from poorly compacted fill, sub-grade erosion, or insufficient bearing capacity. Operational constraints, such as site access requirements and business continuity needs, are integrated into the preliminary site plan.
Engineered remediation strategy: Bespoke structural stabilisation
Recognising that settlement drivers are site-specific, we eschew standardised approaches in favour of tailored injection methodologies. Synthesising data from the site assessment, we design a targeted resin injection array that optimises the volume, depth, and spatial geometry of the treatment points. This engineering-led approach restores soil bearing capacity and slab elevation to specified structural tolerances, adhering to rigorous ground improvement standards without the disruption of traditional excavation. The design explicitly accounts for operational continuity, ensuring critical infrastructure remains functional throughout the remediation process. These approaches, along with our market leading experience and expertise in ground engineering, ensure that Geobear remains the world's most trusted geopolymer injection contractor.
Validation and verification protocols
Our commitment to structural integrity extends beyond the injection phase, utilising active monitoring throughout the process to ensure precision and prevent slab overcorrection. Upon completion, we implement comprehensive post-remediation verification, including secondary laser-level surveys to confirm that structural elevations are restored to design tolerances—achieving precision thresholds of 0.25mm where required for automated systems or high-bay storage. We provide full technical documentation and verification records, ensuring complete transparency and adherence to engineering specifications.
