Sinkhole Contractor

Rapid Sinkhole Repair, Remediation & Prevention for Critical Infrastructure

GeoStabilization International is the sinkhole contractor of choice when depressions, collapses, or karst activity threaten roads, utilities, buildings, or public safety.

For more than 20 years, our teams have delivered rapid geohazard mitigation across North America, restoring access, protecting assets, and maintaining control over schedules and costs.

Using compaction and permeation grouting, void filling, micropile foundations, underpinning, and drainage control, we stabilize ground conditions with minimal disruption, even in congested corridors and environmentally sensitive areas.

Why Choose GSI as Your Sinkhole Contractor

  • Design-Build Certainty: Our in-house geotechnical engineers and field crews manage every stage, from assessment through installation, providing one accountable partner and a seamless delivery process.
  • 24/7 Emergency Response: Nationwide mobilization ensures rapid site evaluation, hazard mitigation, and stabilization to restore safety and functionality fast.
  • Proven Ground Improvement Methods: Compaction grouting, permeation grouting, void filling, and micropile underpinning restore structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
  • Safety and Quality Management: Structured risk assessments, material testing, and documentation that meet or exceed industry standards ensure consistent, verifiable results.
  • Water and Erosion Control: We address the underlying causes of sinkhole formation with drainage improvements and erosion-prevention strategies for lasting stability.
  • Specialized Access and Equipment: From spider excavators to compact rigs and rope-access crews, we can reach steep, remote, or confined locations with precision.
  • Collaborative Delivery: When projects require open-cut reconstruction or utility work, our teams coordinate with owners and partner trades to integrate geotechnical stabilization into the overall plan.

Understanding Sinkholes and Infrastructure Risk

Sinkholes develop when soil or rock beneath the surface is eroded or dissolved, creating voids that eventually collapse. Common triggers include heavy rainfall, flooding, hurricanes, broken utilities, dewatering, or shifts in groundwater. Consequences can range from pavement failures and utility breaks to structural settlement. Rapid stabilization and source control are essential to protect public safety and prevent costly escalation.

Our Capabilities

As a trusted sinkhole contractor, GSI provides a full range of geotechnical stabilization and foundation solutions:

High-pressure injection densifies loose soils, seals voids, and restores support.

Low-mobility or chemical grouts fill voids and reduce seepage or piping.

Engineered materials rebuild stable ground beneath pavements and structures.

Transfer structural loads to deeper, competent layers beneath buildings and utilities.

Subsurface drains, runoff redirection, and surface hardening to prevent recurrence.

Site securing, traffic coordination, and phased stabilization to restore operations quickly.

How We Respond After a Sinkhole Occurs

  • Immediate Mobilization and Site Safety – Our crews secure the area, protect the public, and prevent further collapse.

  • Evaluation and Risk Assessment – We map voids and migration pathways, review utilities, and analyze subsurface conditions.

  • Targeted Stabilization Design – Engineers develop a solution using grouting, void filling, drainage control, and micropile underpinning as needed.

  • Execution and Restoration – Field crews perform stage-wise stabilization and surface repair to restore function and access.
  • Closeout and Prevention – Final testing, documentation, and drainage recommendations help minimize future risk.

Utilities

Depressions along water, sewer, or storm lines; backfill densification to prevent settlement.

Facilities and Structures

Foundation or floor movement stabilized with interior micropile underpinning.

Parks and Open Spaces

Karst sinkholes and storm-related collapses requiring rapid public-safety response.

Client Reviews

Reliable Project Support in South Dakota

Cameron, I’m glad you followed up because I don’t do a good job of telling people they did a good job sometimes and I know you’re like me if you hear nothing bad then it must have been OK. From my standpoint, you guys really helped us out by being able to get a crew here quickly which is just what we needed. As for the crew they were fantastic, pretty hands off on my end, didn’t require much of my time and did everything they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it. Which believe me is very refreshing. So, thank you guys for all your help and I do look forward to an opportunity to work with you again.
