Foundation reinforcement with GEOLIFT geopolymers is a modern, non-invasive solution for foundation settlement and unstable ground. Using controlled geopolymer injection, we stabilise the soil beneath the structure, improve support and help prevent further movement without the cost and disruption of traditional reconstruction.
Understanding Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement is often a slow and complex process, and the first warning signs are not always obvious. Cracks in walls, uneven floors, and doors or windows that no longer align can all indicate movement beneath the structure. If left untreated, settlement may lead to structural damage and costly repairs.
Every case is unique. To determine the right solution, GEOLIFT engineers carefully assess
- The type of foundation: strip, pile or slab
- The depth, width and geometry of the structure
- The properties and condition of the underlying soil
- The history and progression of settlement
- The presence and condition of nearby pipelines and drains
Foundation Types and Challenges
Strip foundations: Lifting is challenging because the load-bearing surface is narrow and injected material follows the path of least resistance. In most cases, stabilisation is the primary objective.
Pile foundations: Similar challenges apply because the contact areas are small, making vertical lifting difficult. Geopolymers can still reinforce the surrounding soil and improve bearing capacity.
Slab foundations: Slab foundations behave more like heavy floor structures. Controlled lifting may be possible in suitable cases, but stabilisation remains the main priority.
How foundation reinforcement works
- Small injection holes, usually around 10 mm, are drilled at strategic points near the foundation.
- GEOLIFT resin is injected into the ground under controlled pressure.
- The expanding material fills voids, densifies the soil and stabilises the foundation base.
- In suitable slab foundation cases, controlled expansion can help lift the structure towards the required level.
Advantages of GEOLIFT foundation reinforcement
- Stabilises the soil beneath the foundation
- Helps stop ongoing settlement before it worsens
- No major excavation or demolition required
- Minimal disturbance to the building and occupants
- Fast application with limited downtime
- Long-lasting and environmentally safe solution
