Is the ground around the house sinking?
Ground reinforcement is a necessary measure when the soil under a building is not sufficiently strong and stable, as there is a risk of buildings and structures sinking and settling. Ground reinforcement using Geobear’s innovative solution improves and stabilizes the bearing capacity of the soil directly under the foundation. This without excavation, vibrations or other disturbances.
Geobear’s method of soil reinforcement, or soil stabilization as it is sometimes called, uses geopolymer, which is injected into the soil to predetermined depths. Once in the ground, it expands with a force of up to 10,000 kilopascals. As the geopolymer expands, it packs and binds the soil around it. In this way, the ground is reinforced and prevents buildings and constructions from continuing to sink and settle. With geopolymer injection, the bearing capacity can be improved in advance, for example when the area of use of buildings changes, or when the load on the building is expected to increase for another reason.
Geopolymer injection can be utilized in almost any type of soil and can be used to stabilize a variety of different types of objects. Some common uses where geopolymers are a good solution are for villas, industrial buildings, production facilities, roads, railways, airports and warehouses. Buildings and constructions can also be lifted back to the desired level with millimeter precision if necessary.
Advantages of geotechnical soil reinforcement:
– The ground can be strengthened and stabilized quickly and without disturbance.
– It is possible to stabilize the ground and soil in just a few hours.
– It is possible to inject geopolymer in a small, limited area.
– Geopolymers that Geobear uses are safe, as they do not dissolve in water or burden the surrounding soil and ground.
– Geobear’s geopolymer is water-repellent and also binds the soil.
– Your business can be running at the same time as ground reinforcement is carried out.
