Settlement beneath the village hall floor slab caused uneven surfaces and cracking, requiring re‑levelling and stabilisation without disrupting community use or damaging the existing structure.
Solution
Geobear used precision geopolymer injection to fill voids, strengthen underlying soils and carefully re‑level the slab with minimal intrusion and rapid programme completion.
Floor slab re‑levelled
Controlled lifting achieved
Void filling completed
Ground strengthened beneath slab
Minimal disruption
Hall use maintained where possible
Background
Village halls are important community assets and often operate continuously for local events and activities.
Ground movement beneath slab‑on‑grade floors can result in uneven surfaces, trip hazards and visible cracking.
Challenge
The hall floor required re‑levelling to restore a safe, even surface while avoiding significant disruption to bookings and community activities.
Traditional excavation or slab replacement would have been costly and time‑intensive.
Solutions
Geobear implemented a targeted geopolymer injection programme through small diameter holes drilled through the slab. The expanding resin filled underlying voids and densified weak soils, enabling controlled lifting and stabilisation.
Levels were monitored throughout the process to ensure precise re‑levelling.
Results
The slab was successfully re‑levelled and stabilised within a short timeframe.
The solution avoided major reconstruction, reduced cost and preserved the functionality of this important community building.
