Airfield failure mechanisms

Airfield pavements fail through a range of mechanisms including rutting, cracking, pumping, and loss of bearing strength caused by repeated aircraft loading and water ingress. Understanding these failure modes is essential for diagnosing distress, planning maintenance, and selecting suitable ground improvement or pavement rehabilitation methods to ensure long-term operational performance.

Volterra transport study

Commissioned by Geobear and delivered by Volterra Partners, this study quantifies the financial and socio-economic benefits of faster infrastructure maintenance across road, rail and aviation. It demonstrates how Geobear’s rapid geopolymer methods could save billions globally by reducing disruption, improving asset uptime, and lowering total maintenance costs.

Life extension of concrete roads using geopolymer resin injection treatment

This report is concerned with the eastbound section of the carriageway on the M54. An investigation reported that the unreinforced concrete slabs in lane 1 had undergone settlement and an average uplift of 10mm was required to bring the traffic running surface back to level with adjacent slabs. Geobear’s geopolymer resin injection method was the chosen solution to repair the asset.

The use of expansive geopolymer injections to stabilise railway formation

The aim of this paper is to better inform the railway industry about the benefits and applications of geopolymer injections technology to treat formation problems. The paper will also explore a case study from an existing UK site where geopolymer injections have been used successfully on the railways to stabilise a piece of slab track that was moving, which had resulted in linespeed restrictions.
