True sustainability in construction and maintenance comes from maximising the life of what we have already built.
The Geobear solution is designed to do exactly that.
By improving the ground beneath existing structures, we prevent the need for costly and carbon-heavy reconstruction.
This approach avoids major excavation, minimises the use of new materials like concrete and steel, and dramatically reduces transport emissions and waste generation.
Our work is a direct contribution to the circular economy, preserving value and protecting our environment.
For homes
A 53% carbon reduction
Choosing Geobear over traditional piled raft underpinning is a more sustainable choice. Our process avoids major excavation and uses 6.5 times less steel, resulting in 53.02% less carbon emissions for a typical domestic project.
For highways
A 76% carbon reduction
Our solution offers a vast carbon saving compared to full concrete bay replacement. Over a 40-year asset life, the Geobear approach results in a 76.02% avoidance of CO2e emissions, saving over 103,000 kgCO2e.
For rail
A 95% carbon reduction
Our non-invasive treatment provides a dramatic environmental saving. Compared to a full track slab replacement, our solution delivers a 95.11% avoidance of CO2e emissions over a 60-year asset life, saving over 189,000 kgCO2e.
Societal impact: delivering public & economic value
Our work provides a significant and measurable benefit to society, far beyond the project site.
Saving public money & time
An independent study estimated that for highway works, our faster maintenance and reduced delays save the public £87M per year in road user costs.
Minimising public disruption
We design our solutions for minimal disruption. We often work at night and require a much smaller work zone, reducing congestion and closures for the public.
Building for the future
Our materials have an estimated design life of 120 years, far exceeding the 50-year requirement for highway repairs and ensuring long-term structural resilience.
Reducing noise pollution
Our operations are quiet. Noise surveys confirm levels as low as 76dBA at just 5m from the source, minimising our impact on neighbours in urban areas.
Health & safety:
a "safety first" culture
Our commitment to H&S is our culture. It is the first item on every agenda, from senior management reviews to daily site briefings. All staff participate in our risk awareness programme and receive comprehensive training.
Near-miss reporting
We foster a no-blame culture where all employees are encouraged to report near-misses. For every card submitted, we make a charitable donation.
Proactive HAVS management
We meticulously control Hand-Arm Vibration (HAVS) risk. An automated HSE-compliant calculator, embedded in our system, determines safe work limits before each project begins, ensuring our team is always protected.

Rail Carbon Study
Carbon Footprint Ltd certified a report that found using a Geobear approach to asset maintenance in the rail sector could lead to a 75% reduction in carbon emissions
Highways Service Carbon Footprint
This report is a comparison of the standard Geobear geopolymer injection service vs traditional highway concrete bay replacement. It indicates a 62% reduction in carbon emissions.
Residential Carbon Study
The carbon footprint of the Geobear Solutions for a residential property service produces 53% less emissions than the traditional method.
