Ground strengthening and stabilisation homes in Glasgow

Challenge

Residential properties in Glasgow experienced ground movement and settlement, requiring stabilisation to protect structural integrity without major excavation or resident displacement.

Solution

Geobear delivered precision geopolymer injection to strengthen underlying soils, restore bearing capacity and arrest further movement with minimal disruption to homeowners.

Occupied residential properties

Residents remained in place during works

In situ soil strengthening

No underpinning or bulk excavation

Rapid curing solution

Minimal disruption and fast completion

Background

Homes in Glasgow were affected by ground instability linked to weakened or variable sub‑soils. Signs of settlement and cracking indicated reduced bearing performance beneath foundations.

A remediation strategy was required that would protect the buildings while maintaining occupancy and minimising disturbance to residents.

Challenge

Traditional underpinning would have involved significant excavation, extended programme durations and considerable disruption to households.

The client required a faster, lower‑impact alternative capable of delivering measurable ground improvement within a residential setting.

Solution

Geobear implemented a carefully designed geopolymer injection programme to improve soil stiffness and bearing capacity beneath the affected properties.

Small‑diameter injection points were installed to introduce a two‑component geopolymer into the underlying soils. Upon mixing, the material expanded to fill voids, densify loose ground and re‑establish uniform foundation support.

Injection was monitored in real time to ensure controlled improvement and structural protection.

Results

Ground stability was restored and further movement risk reduced without intrusive excavation or tenant relocation.

The works delivered a durable, efficient and lower‑carbon alternative to traditional underpinning, improving long‑term resilience for the residential assets.
