When rivers overflow, change course, or erode their banks due to natural disasters such as flooding, hurricanes, wildfires, or seismic activity, the damage to surrounding infrastructure, ecosystems, and communities can be severe and long-lasting. GeoStabilization International specializes in emergency river restoration and geohazard mitigation services to protect waterways, restore stability, and prevent future failures.
Our expert teams respond immediately after natural disasters to assess impacted waterways and deploy rapid stabilization and restoration measures. Whether it’s a collapsed riverbank threatening a roadway or a scoured bridge foundation at risk of failure, we offer tailored solutions that are fast, sustainable, and engineered for long-term resilience.
Flood-Induced Bank Erosion: Fast-moving floodwaters scour and destabilize riverbanks, threatening nearby roadways, levees, and infrastructure.
Bridge Scour at Piers and Abutments: Hydraulic forces remove foundation soils from around bridge supports, potentially leading to partial or total bridge failure.
Post-Wildfire Debris Flows in Channels: After wildfires remove vegetation, heavy rains can trigger fast-moving flows of mud, rock, and debris that clog waterways and damage structures.
Sediment Blockages and River Channel Alterations: Natural disasters often deposit excessive sediment in river channels, diverting flow, reducing capacity, and increasing flood risk.
Washed-Out Culverts, Ditches, and Embankments: Intense rainfall and flood events can overwhelm or destroy drainage infrastructure, eroding roads and compromising access routes.
We offer a full suite of river restoration and stabilization services following flood or geohazard events, including:
Our design/build delivery model streamlines the entire process—from assessment to engineered solution to implementation. We eliminate traditional delays and get to work immediately, preventing further environmental damage and protecting the surrounding infrastructure.
