OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY ALWAYS™

GeoSolv had a modest beginning well over a decade ago. Armed with Geopier® — a ground improvement technique with 20 years of proven track record in the United States, it was our clients who recognized that the time had come for ground improvement in Ontario. It took forward-thinking engineering consultants and local owners to realize that Geopier technology would help them save signi�cant time and money on their structurally challengingsoil projects.

Today, the wide range of Innovation Foundation Solutions™ offered by GeoSolv has become the gold standard in the ground improvement industry. Backed by Geopier, GeoSolv continues to pioneer innovative approaches towards dealing with challenging soil conditions. We are committed to help our clients save money and improve project timelines by avoiding costly deep foundations or massive over-excavation and replacement. Today, over 9,000 projects worldwide enjoy the solid foundation provided by Geopier Systems.

GeoSolv is committed to its employee’s health, safety, and overall well-being. Protecting our employees’, our sub-contractors, and clients from occupational injury is a major and ongoing objective of our company. GeoSolv consistently makes every effort necessary to provide a safe and healthy work environment on all our project sites.

RIC reinforces the soil through controlled dynamic compaction of the in-situ soil and is ideal for sandy sites.

GeoSolv specializes in innovativeand custom ground reinforcementsolutions with proven technologies.

Ground Improvement is commonlyde�ned as the stabilization of soilsto accomplish an increased soilstrength and stiffness with the goalof increasing bearing capacity,decreasing settlement and improvingliquefaction resistance. The uniqueadvantages offered by the Geopiersystems result in unparalleledaccomplisment of these goals.

The Geopier Desipact® system is used to signi�cantly increase the density of sandy and provide ultra-high bearing capacity.

The Geopier GP3® system uses replacement RAP elements to reinforce good to poor soils and variable �ll. This results in superior bearing capacity and engineered settlement control.

Geopier Rammed Aggregate Pier® (RAP) systems are ef�cient and cost-effective Intermediate Foundation® solutions for the support of settlement sensitive structures. RAP systems involve the use of heavy vertical crowd force, massive vertical ramming energy and signi�cant increase in lateral stress. The combination of these three actions is unique to Geopier, creating unsurpassed system performance.

The Geopier Impact® system is suitable for high groundwater conditions and reinforces collapsing or contaminated soils using a patented displacement mandrel that minimizes excess soil.

The Geopier GeoConcrete® Column system uses a pressurizeddisplacement mandrel and ready-mix concrete to constructelements down to a dense bearing stratum — providing a costsaving alternative to deep foundations in very poor soils.

Grout or cement can be added to Geopier processes forhigher performance in poor soils.

Ground improvement elements constructed of materials stiff enough to carry loads from a structure through a soft soil zone to a harder soil below (while providing improvement of the enclosing soils) are called rigid inclusions. While the term “rigid inclusion” covers many systems, precision Geopier systems provide superior materials and settlement control in poor soil conditions – where it is needed most.

The Geopier Armorpact® system uses a displacement mandrel and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) con�ning shell for soft or organic soils with thickness less than 5 m.

The Geopier GeoSpikeSM is an ef�cient method for treating weak railroad track subgrades, and can be installed without removing any railroad tracks or ties to signi�cantly decrease track de�ections.

Ideal for tight access areas and /or highly obstructed soils,Helical Screw Piles and Micropiles are a �exible and soundsolution for challenging soil conditions.

DIPs offer an excellent alternative to traditional deep foundations. They employ a plug and drive segmental system which offers many advantages, con�gurations and capacities.

When deep foundations are the right answer, GeoSolv offers a variety of innovative piling systems that provide distinct advantages.

With GeoSolv’s consultative process, we will help you determine the right system for your needs.

Below are a few examples of the numerous positive testimonials we frequently receive from our many satis�ed clients.

“GeoSolv simpli�es the construction process on our projects.” – Jason Van Geel, General Manager, Wind Turbine Projects in Ontario

“GeoSolv accomplished the ground improvement precisely on schedule, and for precisely the agreed amount. GeoSolv also provided a geotechnical certi�cation for the pad allowing Costco to construct their prototypical building without modi�cations. Since we were able to avoid the exposure to the unknowns of conventional re-engineering, we will never know how much money we actually saved using Geopiers, but I feel that it would be considerably more than the $2M savings we can quantify, and certainly the difference between Costco opening on schedule or not.”– Sean Fox, VP of Construction, Fieldgate Commercial Management Limited (FCML)

“The Rammed Aggregate Pier system proved to be reliable and meet a tight timeline, which contributed to the overall success of the project and the happiness of the client.”– Jeff Tolton, Project Manager, Golder Associates

“The RIC system added signi�cant value on this development, sure, there were signi�cant savings on the project by going with GeoSolv’s Ground Improvement System, but the big thing GeoSolv helped us with was improving our earthworks schedule and getting our project out of the ground.”– Jason Pantalone, President of National Homes

“Geosolv is very innovative and accommodating. Their expertise in the �eld helped to expedite a very time sensitive project with excellent results.”– Jim Whitehead, Grascan Construction

“GeoSolv provided us with a cost-effective foundation system for our 12 storey Condo. This approach was a signi�cant improvement on the grouted helical pile foundation used on the previous phase. The ease of using spread footings instead of pile caps and the fact that there were no extras or surprises on the project as well as the quick installation means we will call on GeoSolv again when we have a structurally challenging soil condition on our developments.”– Rob Gazzola, Senior Development Manager, Haastown Holdings

“GeoSolv helped us turn an otherwise unworkable bad soil situation into a cost-effective project.”– Kerry Anger, Senior Structural Engineer, IBI Group
