The Earth is weighed down with lots of construction sites, sometimes the ground can’t bear the weight. That’s why our name is Geobear. We support the ground when it needs help, providing concrete levelling and other services here in the Gulf and around the globe, so homes and businesses, airports, trains, roads, and ports keep running.
Geobear is an international ground improvement solutions company treating subsidence, settlement, and other ground instability issues. Our fast, cost-effective, and innovative solutions stabilise the ground, fill voids, and lift slabs in Ireland and beyond with minimal disruption. We’ve treated over 200,000 properties across the globe. Because of this, Geobear is a trusted partner for industry and homeowners alike.
Behind everything we do is our commitment to socially-responsible ground improvement. You (our customer) always come first. This means we’re committed to zero harm to protect the environment and everyone in it (that means you). We strive to provide our customers with the most convenient, reliable and cost-effective solution while minimising negative impacts to people or the environment.
We do this using our unique, patented Geobear solution. Our expert ground engineers create small holes in the ground and inject an expanding geopolymer resin. Once underground, the resin expands to fill all of the gaps and compact the soil, gradually lifting the ground above. This is the heart of our concrete levelling services in Orange County. This process is monitored with lasers to ensure absolute precision. The whole process can be carried out in just a matter of hours.
How? We inject a polymer into the ground that’s become unstable. It lifts buildings, fixes cracked concrete and uneven floors, and makes the ground stronger. We are 10 times faster than the normal way to repair subsidence, which involves building work and often closing the business or moving out of your house. That’s not the case with Geobear. The work is finished in hours or days, rather than weeks or months and comes with a guarantee.
At a department store in Finland, the shop floor was starting to look like a potato field. The carts were rolling away from customers who struggled to fill them with purchases and make it to checkout. Business was suffering as more customers complained. The shop manager wanted to fix the problem without shutting down the business, so he called Veikko Hakkinen.
Veikko had invented a way to replace cement and grout with a polymer, which raised floors quickly and easily without the need for rebuilding. This was exactly what the shop manager was looking for. Confident he’d found a solution to a serious problem, Veikko patented his invention in 1983.
Timo Lahtinen became the head of the business in 1987, expanding into over 50 countries in the next 22 years. Operating under our original name, the company completed over 100,000 projects, created licensing deals with more than 30 companies, created new techniques, and got more patents.
When Timo retired in 2012, there were several companies using resin injection for ground improvement. Timo’s plan to become the market leader involved shifting from licensing into a ground improvement contracting business. Once the contracting business was off the ground in Finland, Timo started the process in the UK.
