When natural disasters strike, such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, or hurricanes, waterways and surrounding infrastructure can be severely compromised. Sediment buildup, channel blockages, bank erosion, and damaged embankments threaten not only environmental health but also the safety of communities and infrastructure. GeoStabilization International provides emergency response, waterway restoration, and geohazard mitigation services to stabilize these environments and restore critical function fast.
Disaster-damaged waterways are more than an environmental concern; they're a public safety issue and a risk to infrastructure resilience. Flooded highways, failed embankments, unstable slopes, and scoured bridge foundations are common challenges after an event. Left untreated, these issues escalate, threatening homes, businesses, transportation corridors, and utility systems.
At GeoStabilization International, we deploy quickly to stabilize waterway systems after a disaster and deliver long-lasting solutions with minimal environmental impact. Our services include:
After flooding events, we restore integrity to bridge abutments and piers with engineered scour protection systems, including riprap installation, grout bags, and micropile foundations.
We reinforce eroded streambanks using environmentally sensitive technologies like soil nails, shotcrete, riprap, and vegetated retaining structures to prevent further sedimentation and protect adjacent infrastructure.
Our teams clear blocked waterways, remove debris, and re-establish natural flow paths, reducing the risk of future flooding and ensuring ecological balance.
Using systems like soil nails, rock bolts, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and mesh draping, we stabilize landslide-prone areas near rivers and streams that have been destabilized by heavy rain or seismic activity.
Our rapid response includes repairing or replacing culverts, drainage systems, and stormwater infrastructure to restore safe and functional flow channels.
In the aftermath of a disaster, your infrastructure may be vulnerable to a variety of geohazards. GeoStabilization’s geotechnical experts assess and mitigate risks, including:
We utilize design-build delivery, advanced drilling equipment like limited-access and spider excavators, and proprietary solutions to minimize disruption and deliver fast, engineered results.
Following a Category 4 hurricane, a major access road experienced a landslide threatening local water treatment infrastructure. GSI installed a soil nail and shotcrete wall within days, stabilizing the slope and preventing further damage.
A recent flood event caused the collapse of a riverbank adjacent to a state highway. Our team designed and implemented a riprap and soil nail solution that restored the roadway and protected the bank from future storm events.
If your community or infrastructure has been impacted by a natural disaster, don’t wait. GeoStabilization International is here to assess, stabilize, and restore your critical assets with unmatched speed and precision.
