Ebbsfleet FC – terrace stabilisation

Challenge

Settlement beneath stadium terrace structures threatened long‑term stability and required ground improvement within a live sports environment, without disrupting scheduled fixtures.

Solution

Geobear delivered precision geopolymer injection to strengthen underlying ground, stabilise foundations and enable continued stadium use with minimal disruption.

Live stadium environment

Works coordinated around operational constraints

Targeted ground improvement

Injection beneath terrace structures

Minimal surface disruption

No large‑scale excavation required

Background

Ground movement beneath terrace areas at Ebbsfleet FC had resulted in localised settlement and reduced support to structural elements.

To safeguard long‑term performance and ensure spectator safety, a ground stabilisation solution was required that could be delivered efficiently within an operational stadium setting.

Challenge

Traditional excavation and reconstruction would have been disruptive, time‑consuming and impractical within a functioning sports venue.

The programme needed to be carefully managed around site access constraints, with minimal plant footprint and strict safety controls.

Solutions

Geobear implemented a controlled geopolymer injection programme to improve ground bearing capacity beneath the affected terrace structures.

Small‑diameter injection points were installed to introduce a two‑component geopolymer beneath the foundations. The material expanded on contact, filling voids, densifying loose strata and increasing ground stiffness.

Injection was monitored in real time to ensure uniform improvement and structural protection. The rapid curing properties enabled treated areas to return to service quickly.

Results

Ground stability was restored without intrusive excavation or extended closure.

The works enhanced structural resilience while maintaining operational continuity, providing a durable and low‑carbon alternative to traditional reconstruction.
