For nearly 70 years, slope instability at this highway has threatened roadway safety. GSI stepped in with a modern fix, replacing the failed soldier pile wall with a micropile-supported GCS® wall and comprehensive soil nail stabilization. We installed soil nails, horizontal drains, and reinforced shotcrete to secure the backslope, then drilled 30-foot micropiles to support the new structure. The 28-foot GCS® wall was built with compacted stone and geotextile layers and finished with a split-face block and a shotcrete cap. A decades-old hazard was stabilized for the future. #GCSWall #Micropiles #SoilNailing #SlopeStabilization

Slurry Grouting Focusing on pressure, mix ratios, and flow rates is easy for in-ground improvement. But at GSI, we also consider what’s around and beneath the ground: sensitive ecosystems, aging infrastructure, limited access, and active job sites. That’s where our slurry grouting service stands apart. We tailor each design to your site's specific challenges, using controlled, low-impact methods that improve weak soils without unnecessary disruption. It’s not just about injecting grout; it’s about protecting what’s above while strengthening what’s below. If your next project calls for deeper support, we’re ready to help.

Traditional methods, such as riprap and concrete aprons, have long been used to manage scour and erosion, but they’re not always the best fit for today’s challenges. At GSI, we offer alternatives like micropiles and soil cement that do more than resist surface wear. These deep foundation systems anchor stability from below, making them ideal for sites with poor soils, water exposure, or long-term performance requirements.

How we stabilized a bluff in just 32 days When a slope failure crept dangerously close, the situation shifted from prevention to emergency response. Positioned atop one of the city’s highest bluffs, this site presented steep access challenges, loess soil, and saturated ground conditions, demanding fast, strategic action. We partnered with the general contractor to implement a top-down stabilization approach. To secure the bluff and protect the property, we installed soil nails up to 50 feet long and applied steel-reinforced shotcrete facing. Drainage grading and rip-rap installation followed to prevent future erosion. Despite the complexity, the project was completed 35% faster than projected, with safety, collaboration, and precision driving every step. #EmergencyStabilization #SlopeStabilization #Shotcrete #SoilNailing #GeotechnicalSolutions

When a retaining wall gives way, the risks to surrounding infrastructure can escalate quickly. At GeoStabilization, we specialize in designing and constructing retaining wall systems that restore stability quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption. Using self-drilling SuperNails, our team reinforces walls with steel cages, galvanized plates, welded wire mesh, and whalers to provide long-term support in even the most challenging environments. From street-level access to tight, restricted sites, our excavator-mounted equipment allows for safe and efficient drilling without compromising nearby operations. Whether we’re protecting roadways, rail lines, or surrounding property, our retaining wall systems are built to hold—and built to last. #RetainingWallSolutions #GeotechnicalEngineering #SoilNailing #SuperNails #SlopeStabilization

When a wall is visible, the finish matters. This hand-finished shotcrete option is just one of the ways we help clients achieve structural reliability and visual appeal. Whether the goal is to blend with the environment or elevate the look of a retaining wall, our team delivers finishes that meet the moment without compromising performance. Looking for a finish that checks both boxes? We can help. #Shotcrete #ShotcreteFinishes #HandFinishedShotcrete #GeotechnicalSolutions

What keeps a newly constructed slope from shifting over time? Stabilizing a slope is about engineering resilience from the ground up. For this project, GSI designed and installed #8 Epoxy Coated soil nails and self-drilling SuperNails™ at varying lengths. Integrating soil nails with oversized galvanized bearing plates enhances long-term stability, allowing the final landscape to blend seamlessly. Once completed, the slope will support the new entry drive with durability, strength, and reliability. Every slope presents a unique challenge; let’s discuss how the right geotechnical solutions can reinforce yours. #SlopeStabilization #SoilNailing #GeotechnicalEngineering

To stabilize 3,000 square feet of this rock slope, GSI installed deep rock bolts, reinforced the face with fiber-reinforced shotcrete, and integrated drainage systems to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup. With bolts extending up to 30 feet deep and additional spot bolts securing vulnerable sections, this solution locks the slope in place, eliminating future failures while preserving its natural geometry. #RockSlopeStabilization #GeotechnicalEngineering #RockBolts #Shotcrete #SlopeStabilization

When a landslip threatened the ROW and a buried pipeline, GSI installed a two-tiered stabilization system with soil nail and mesh walls running parallel to the pipeline, both upslope and downslope. To promote vegetation, we used drilled and grouted soil nails up to 50 feet long, high-tension galvanized mesh, and turf matting. The downslope wall was anchored into the bedrock using a tighter grid for added strength. A complete drainage system- strip drains, collector pipes, and finger drains was added to relieve water pressure and maintain long-term stability. The downslope system was then buried under engineered fill and graded to restore the slope. #SlopeStabilization #SoilNailing #DrainageDesign #GeotechnicalSolutions

How do you choose the right foundation solution? Space constraints, soil conditions, and project scale all play a role. Micropiles offer high strength in a small footprint, making them ideal for urban, retrofit, and confined spaces. They perform well in weak or variable soils and require minimal vibration during installation. Traditional deep foundations, on the other hand, provide high load capacity but demand more space, heavy equipment, and extensive site preparation, making them a better fit for large-scale projects. Selecting the right approach means balancing efficiency, cost, and long-term stability. What challenges do you face when choosing a foundation solution? Let’s discuss this in the comments. #Micropiles #DeepFoundations #GeotechnicalEngineering #FoundationSupport
