Challenges faced on infrastructure sites

Infrastructure assets like railways, roads, pipelines, and airports are built on the ground, making them vulnerable to changing soil conditions. Geobear specialises in addressing the challenges that arise from unstable ground, including settlement, subsidence, and loss of bearing capacity. Our geopolymer technology is delivered with pinpoint accuracy and precision, strengthening the ground beneath your assets without the need for disruptive excavation.

With over 40 years of experience and more than 200,000 completed projects, we provide solutions that are up to 70% faster and have a 75% lower carbon impact than traditional methods. This allows us to help you extend the life of your assets and minimise operational downtime.

Infra poorly compacted fill

Poorly compacted soil

We improve the load-bearing capacity of poorly compacted ground, ensuring a stable foundation for infrastructure assets.

clay soil

Clay shrinkage/swelling

We fill fissures in shrinkable clay soils to reduce moisture change, which helps to mitigate ground movement and subsidence.

Infra challenges water seal cofferdam

Water leaks in shoring

Our solutions create an effective, non-intrusive water barrier to prevent water from migrating through sheet piles and cofferdams on construction sites.

void beneath road

Void filling and sinkhole remediation

We fill voids and cavities with our lightweight geopolymer to restore support and prevent collapses.

Inadequate bearing capacity

We improve ground strength beneath existing foundations, allowing assets to withstand additional loads.

Liquefaction

We densify soils with our geopolymer injection process to mitigate the risk of liquefaction in vulnerable areas.

highway pavement cracks

Depressions on pavements

We stabilise the ground beneath rigid and flexible road surfaces to prevent movement and extend the life of the pavement.

vibration monitoring

Vibration

Our solutions can reduce vibrations from traffic or machinery by dampening the ground and stabilising rocking slabs.

Infra real displacement hero

Displacement during tunnelling

We use a real-time displacement control system to compensate for ground settlement caused by tunnelling, protecting nearby structures.

infra sea wall

Seawall erosion

Our geopolymer can be injected behind seawalls to fill voids and prevent water from migrating, helping to maintain their integrity.

infra asset life extension

Asset life extension

By stabilising the ground and preventing movement, our solutions help to extend the operational life of key infrastructure assets

Manhole depression

Depressions around manholes

By restoring ground strength and preventing settlement, our solutions protect asset performance and extend the operational life of critical infrastructure.

Sinkhole filling

Sinkholes and gull features

By stabilising voided soils and bridging hidden fissures, Geobear’s ground improvement solutions protect critical infrastructure from sinkholes, gulls, and unexpected subsurface failure.
