Challenge
Settlement beneath floor slabs and perimeter walls caused cracking and movement, requiring stabilisation without demolition or disruption to occupied residential properties.
Solution
Geobear applied precision geopolymer injection to strengthen sub‑soils, fill voids and re‑stabilise slabs and perimeter walls with minimal intrusion and rapid delivery.
Occupied homes protected
Targeted ground improvement
No excavation or underpinning
Homes managed by Paradigm experienced movement linked to weakened or voided ground beneath floor slabs and perimeter walls. Cracking and differential settlement raised concerns regarding structural integrity and long‑term performance.
A solution was required that would minimise disruption to residents while delivering reliable stabilisation.
Traditional underpinning or reconstruction would have been disruptive, time‑consuming and costly, particularly within occupied homes.
The client required a fast, low‑impact method capable of restoring support and mitigating further movement.
Geobear implemented a controlled geopolymer injection programme beneath affected slabs and wall foundations.
Through small‑diameter injection points, expanding geopolymer was introduced into weak and voided soils. The material filled cavities, compacted loose ground and increased bearing capacity, providing renewed support to both slabs and perimeter walls.
Injection works were monitored in real time to ensure precision and controlled ground response.
The affected properties were stabilised without excavation or resident displacement.
The solution restored structural confidence, reduced programme time and provided a lower‑carbon alternative to traditional underpinning methods.
