How Does the Geobear Solution Resolve Ground Movement Problems?

There are multiple subsidence solutions that are available on the market, but some are more convenient, cost-effective and long-lasting than others. This is where Geobear comes in. Our subsidence solution comes in the form of the geopolymer resin injection method. In this article, we’ll be telling you all there is to know about this particular subsidence solution and how it can benefit your affected property.

The Geobear solution: what is the geopolymer resin injection underpinning method?

When a property or structure experiences subsidence, timely intervention is essential to stabilise the ground and secure the building before serious structural problems occur. Traditionally, this has been done through underpinning, which involves excavating beneath the structure and pouring concrete to reinforce the foundations.

However, conventional underpinning is often time-consuming, messy and highly disruptive. It typically requires vacating the building while the work is being done, therefore leading to significant inconvenience and added costs for the customer. This is where the geopolymer resin injection method can pick up the slack. 

Geobear provides a faster, less disruptive alternative. Using our patented geopolymer resin injection technology, we eliminate the need for excavation. The process involves injecting resin through a few small holes and can often be completed in just one day. This helps to save our clients both time and money. 

How does Geobear’s solution work?

Our subsidence treatment uses geopolymer resin, which is injected into the ground through small, minimally invasive holes. Once below the surface, the resin expands along the path of least resistance. Once it reaches the gaps and voids that are affecting the ground, the resin will expand and harden, restoring strength and stability by compacting weaker ground. 

It will also lift the ground, where possible, all without the need for major excavation and building work. It can be injected with expert precision to ensure a mess-free and non-disruptive process. There are multiple benefits associated with using the geopolymer resin injection method over more conventional underpinning techniques, which is something we’ll get onto now.

What are the benefits of Geobear’s solution?

Geobear’s geopolymer resin injection underpinning method offers a clean, innovative and straightforward approach to underpinning. This advanced subsidence solution delivers long-lasting results that endure for decades. Compared to conventional underpinning methods, Geobear’s solutions provide several key advantages, including:

Long-lasting results 

The geopolymer resin solidifies and strengthens the ground, providing similar outcomes to concrete. As a result, the effects are durable and have a design life in excess of 100 years.

Non-disruptive and mess-free 

Unlike traditional underpinning methods, the resin injection method requires no excavation. Most of the time, you won’t even notice that our team of technicians are there, meaning you can carry on with your daily, normal routine.

The process can be completed quickly and efficiently 

As no excavation or digging is required, there’s no need to rely on the delivery of heavy machinery, nor will we need to spend time restoring your outdoor space back to normal. Injecting resin into a few small holes in the ground keeps this method time-efficient when you need it most.

Application is versatile 

The Geobear solution can be applied to houses and properties that are both commercial and domestic. Regardless of its age, shape or size, Geobear’s subsidence solution will get the job done.

Load-bearing capacity that is second-to-none 

The lifting power that Geobear’s solution has is significant. This makes it ideal for use on a wide range of structural problems and repairs, regardless of the project’s complexity. 

Controllable process 

The geopolymer resin injection underpinning method is delivered with the utmost precision and accuracy. This is what helps to keep the mess and disruption to an absolute minimum. It also allows us to pinpoint the problematic areas in the ground, where the soil has weakened.

It’s eco-friendly 

Due to the fact that no excavation is required, Geobear’s subsidence solution helps to preserve gardens, landscapes and natural habitats. Not only will our clients be able to go about their daily business, but the creatures and animals that live in the nearby area will be able to as well.

Architectural impact is minimal 

We only make a few holes in the ground in order to inject the geopolymer resin into. Not only does this keep mess and disruption down, but it also means that we can inject the geopolymer into existing floor finishes – ideal for situations where ground access is limited.

Geobear provides expert underpinning services nationwide, offering quick and efficient solutions for properties affected by subsidence.
