Geobear implemented a tailored geopolymer injection solution to strengthen and consolidate the soils beneath the extension foundations.
The treatment was delivered across three levels, targeting depths of up to 2.1 metres below foundation level. A total of eight external injection points were used to accurately deliver the geopolymer material into the ground, improving load-bearing capacity and arresting further movement.
To manage the presence of live utilities, enabling works were undertaken to expose both the gas and water mains prior to injection. This ensured full visibility and protection during the process, with the gas main located between two injection points.
The controlled, low-pressure injection process allowed the team to work safely around these services, with no risk of damage or disruption.
All works were completed in a single day using a two-person crew and a self-contained injection unit, with no excavation or heavy plant required.
