Bluff Stabilization You Can Trust

GeoStabilization International is the bluff stabilization contractor of choice for DOTs, utilities, developers, and municipalities when steep slopes or coastal bluffs threaten infrastructure, property, or public safety.

For more than 20 years, our design-build teams have stabilized bluffs across North America using soil nails, including fiberglass SuperNails™, micropiles, grouting, and advanced drainage systems. Whether caused by heavy rainfall, coastal erosion, or wildfire impacts, we restore slope integrity safely, quickly, and with minimal environmental disturbance.

Why Choose GSI for Bluff Stabilization

  • Turnkey Design-Build: In-house geotechnical engineers and construction crews manage every phase, from assessment and modeling to installation and closeout, for one accountable partner.
  • Fiberglass Soil Nails and SuperNails™: Corrosion-resistant reinforcement ideal for chloride-rich coastal settings; launched or drilled installation with optional perforation for integrated drainage.
  • Rapid Mobilization: 24/7 emergency response across the U.S. and Canada with limited-access drills, rope access, and spider excavators ready for steep or remote terrain.
  • Drainage and Erosion Control: Horizontal drains, surface conveyance, and protective facings to manage water, which is the leading cause of bluff instability.
  • Environmental Sensitivity: Top-down construction minimizes excavation, haul roads, and disruption to coastal vegetation and habitats.

Our Bluff Stabilization Capabilities

Launched or drilled fiberglass nails reinforce soil mass and resist movement, ideal for limited-access or environmentally sensitive bluffs.

Deep foundations transfer loads to competent strata and support structures on or above bluffs.

Structural and sculpted shotcrete, high-tensile mesh, and hydroseeding to protect against raveling, runoff, and wave action.

Horizontal and trench drains to reduce pore pressures and prevent saturation-driven failures.

Compaction, permeation, or chemical grouting to fill voids, strengthen weak zones, and seal seepage paths.

Rapid deployment following landslides, storms, or earthquakes to stabilize slopes, protect assets, and restore access.
