Infrastructure challenges
Our engineering teams design targeted ground improvement solutions to address commonly occurring challenges affecting infrastructure assets, including;
Poorly compacted soil
We improve the load-bearing capacity of poorly compacted ground, ensuring a stable foundation for infrastructure assets.
Clay shrinkage/swelling
We fill fissures in shrinkable clay soils to reduce moisture change, which helps to mitigate ground movement and subsidence.
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 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.
Depressions on pavements
We stabilise the ground beneath rigid and flexible road surfaces to prevent movement and extend the life of the pavement.
Vibration
Our solutions can reduce vibrations from traffic or machinery by dampening the ground and stabilising rocking slabs.
Displacement during tunnelling
We use a real-time displacement control system to compensate for ground settlement caused by tunnelling, protecting nearby structures.
Seawall erosion
Our geopolymer can be injected behind seawalls to fill voids and prevent water from migrating, helping to maintain their integrity.
Asset life extension
By stabilising the ground and preventing movement, our solutions help to extend the operational life of key infrastructure assets
Depressions around manholes
By restoring ground strength and preventing settlement, our solutions protect asset performance and extend the operational life of critical infrastructure.
Serving all infrastructure assets
Ports & harbors
Improving the load-bearing capacity of quaysides and stabilising marine structures without disrupting operations.
Utilities
Securing foundations for substations, towers, and pipelines with minimal service impact.
Public assets
Preserving hospitals, libraries, theatres, and historic buildings by stabilising foundations for future generations.
Our solutions
With over four decades of ground engineering expertise, we’ve designed solutions that are fast, sustainable, and highly effective across sectors:
Re-levelling sinking pavement slabs
Engineered slab re-levelling and lifting solutions that restore subsided concrete to its correct level quickly and accurately.
Void filling
Rapidly fills voids beneath roads, rail, and foundations to prevent collapse.
Structural support
Provides targeted, precise support to stabilise compromised structures.
Permeability reduction / Water Sealing
Reduces water ingress, protecting assets from erosion and damage.
Emergency Repairs
Rapid, non-disruptive emergency repairs that stabilise ground, fill voids, and restore critical infrastructure.
Real-time displacement control
Highly effective, non-disruptive solution for controlling ground displacement.
