GROUND IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS

Grouting

GeoStabilization International delivers engineered grouting solutions that strengthen weak ground, reduce settlement risk, and control groundwater movement beneath critical infrastructure across Canada. From coastal conditions in British Columbia to urban sites in Ontario and Alberta, GSI designs precision injection programs that improve subsurface performance while minimizing surface disruption.

Grouting is a proven approach for stabilizing foundations, filling voids, sealing seepage paths, and restoring ground integrity where erosion, variable soils, or water infiltration threaten safety and long-term performance. Through GSI’s design-build-warranty delivery model, each program is engineered to meet site-specific requirements with durable results and responsible execution.

What Is Grouting?

Grouting is a ground improvement process that injects cementitious, chemical, or microfine materials into soil, rock, or voided ground under controlled pressure. Once placed, grout can fill cavities, bond loose material, densify weak zones, or reduce permeability to improve stability below grade.

Depending on site conditions and performance goals, grouting can:

  • Increase bearing capacity beneath new or existing structures

  • Fill voids and washouts that contribute to settlement or instability

  • Seal fractures to reduce groundwater seepage and erosion pathways

  • Improve slope stability and reduce movement risk

  • Restore ground performance after saturation or liquefaction-related distress

Each grouting program is designed by GSI engineers based on soil type, groundwater behavior, access constraints, and structural loading demands.

 

Compaction grouting

Compaction Grouting

A ground improvement method that uses stiff, low-mobility cement grout injected under controlled pressure to compact and densify weak soils. As grout is placed, it displaces surrounding ground and builds dense, bulb-shaped masses that increase stiffness, improve bearing capacity, and help limit settlement.

Common applications include:

  • Treating sinkholes, voids, and washouts

  • Improving support beneath existing foundations

  • Reducing liquefaction susceptibility in loose soils

  • Managing settlement risk for new construction

Slurry Grouting

A stabilization technique that injects cement-based grout (batched to specific mix ratios) into open-graded soils like coarse gravel or fractured rock. The grout fills void space to improve ground performance, reduce seepage pathways, and increase load transfer capacity beneath structures.

Common applications include:

  • Supporting and underpinning existing foundations

  • Limiting groundwater infiltration and seepage

  • Stabilizing excavations and below-grade structures

  • Improving support around utilities and buried infrastructure

Permeation Grouting

Microfine cement or chemical grout is injected so it can flow into small voids, cracks, and fissures within granular soils. Once cured, the treated zone forms a strengthened, solidified mass that improves stability, supports loading, and helps limit ground movement.

Common applications include:

  • Reducing groundwater seepage and flow paths

  • Underpinning and reinforcing existing foundations

  • Improving bearing capacity in sands and other granular soils

  • Supporting excavation shoring or retaining wall systems

Chemical Grouting

Chemical grouting uses resin-based or reactive grout formulations to strengthen ground and manage water movement below grade. These materials bond soil particles, fill fractures, and can form low-permeability barriers within granular soils, rock, or along seepage paths.

Common applications include:

  • Sealing fractures and joints in rock or concrete

  • Creating watertight cutoffs in permeable ground

  • Improving bearing capacity beneath granular foundations

  • Reducing groundwater intrusion and leakage risks

GSI’s chemical grouting programs are designed and installed by experienced crews, with grout selection and injection patterns customized to site conditions and performance goals.

Benefits of Ground Improvement by Grouting

Grouting provides a targeted, low-disruption option for improving ground performance beneath active infrastructure:

  • Improves stability by strengthening weak soils and filling voids

  • Increases load capacity for foundations and structural support zones

  • Controls groundwater by sealing seepage paths and reducing erosion potential

  • Minimizes disruption with limited excavation and smaller work areas

  • Adapts to site conditions across granular soils, mixed profiles, and fractured rock

These advantages make grouting a practical and durable solution for both new construction and rehabilitation.

Canada Dam Grouting

Engineered for Canadian Conditions

Canadian ground conditions often involve freeze–thaw cycles, fluctuating groundwater, soft deposits, and variable subsurface profiles that can undermine structural performance over time. GSI’s grouting systems are designed to address these realities with installation methods and materials selected for long-term stability and reliable field execution.

From stabilizing bridge approaches in Ontario to strengthening industrial foundations in Alberta and protecting coastal infrastructure in British Columbia, GSI delivers grouting solutions that support safe service continuity and reduced lifecycle risk.

Client Reviews

Positive Experience Working with Project Team

Justin, I wanted to reach out and let you know that is was a pleasure working with you all at the [….] Project. The guys on this job were very professional and never once wavered from the plans and specs. These guys did absolutely everything the right way and wanted to make sure that the customer was happy with the work. Again, I appreciate your guys’ hard work and professionalism and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Foundation Grouting and Structural Repair for Homeowner

I wanted to drop you a quick note. Late last year I had Tom Szynakiewicz come by and advise me as to what I needed to do to fix my house structure. Tom and GSI were great to work with to find a solution for my structure issues. GSI did an excellent job for us and got us on the right track with the work that was performed. We just sold the home last week, and disclosed the work that was done. We had zero issues with selling the home because it was fixed by GSI. I am very thankful I called and got you guys involved! Thanks again for steering me in the right direction Wayne!

Successful Project Support in British Columbia, Canada

Hi Graeme, I apologize for taking so long to respond; it is a credit to the smoothness of this project that I was able to shift my focus onto other ones. When asked by a colleague how this project went, I responded "that so last week". Seriously though, I want to sincerely thank you and your crew for their great efforts and patience getting this going and completed safely and successfully. A senior manager reviewing the photos also noted how tidy and well organized the site looked. Thanks also for accommodating all our site visits and heli close-ups.
