This project marks the first application of a geopolymer design for clay soil stabilisation at depth in the highways sector. Leveraging its extensive experience from the residential property sector, Geobear worked closely with Surrey County Council to design and implement the scheme that would reduce the shrink-swell potential of the soil. The outcome of the project drew comparisons to the advantages of Geobear’s residential solutions, delivering a swift, minimally disruptive approach. This ensured that the road, along with nearby businesses and a school, could remain operational throughout the process.
Surrey County Council and Ringway Eurovia (the main contractor) were delighted with the outcomes. Furthermore, this is also being considered for an award by the Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation.
