Revolutionising Subsidence Treatment in the UK: Sustainability, Prevention and Innovation with GEOSEC

by Michelle

As climate challenges and structural efficiency continue to influence priorities in the construction sector, the demand for effective, environmentally responsible, and non-invasive ground stabilisation methods is increasingly evident. At GEOSEC, we focus on delivering technically advanced, data-driven solutions that support both structural safety and sustainability goals.

In line with current industry direction, GEOSEC integrates modern consolidation techniques aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Our approach combines expansive resin injection with 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), allowing highly targeted interventions without the need for excavation, demolition, or intrusive construction activities.

Research has shown that geopolymer resin injection solutions may reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional reconstruction methods. GEOSEC builds on this by incorporating non-destructive diagnostic tools such as ERT to design interventions that maximise structural performance while limiting environmental impact.

Millions of UK homes may be at risk of house subsidence, often without visible symptoms. GEOSEC promotes early-stage detection through education and awareness—encouraging the identification of warning signs like stepped cracks in the wall, uneven floors, or misaligned openings, and addressing underlying causes before significant structural damage occurs.

Our diagnostic process combines ERT scanning with dynamic probing to identify subsurface anomalies. This enables early intervention, helping prevent further deterioration. For insurers and loss adjusters, this approach supports quicker assessments, reduces claim costs, and improves long-term asset protection.

Drawing inspiration from the principles of minimally invasive medicine, GEOSEC’s patented expanding resin injection method provides efficient, low-disruption ground improvement. Most treatments are completed within a matter of hours, with no need for resident displacement or invasive building works—allowing properties to remain fully operational during intervention.

We also coordinate closely with insurers and structural engineers to facilitate a smooth path to Certificates of Structural Adequacy (CSA) when required. All technical data is collected and communicated in line with industry protocols to ensure clarity and avoid delays in project execution or claim processing.

GEOSEC’s work is focused not only on resolving structural concerns such as subsidence, but also on contributing to long-term resilience and environmental responsibility in ground stabilisation and ground stability. By combining non-invasive methods with precise diagnostics, we aim to support property owners, insurance providers, and professionals across the sector.

For homeowners, insurers, and loss adjusters alike, GEOSEC offers a reliable and efficient approach to ground stabilisation—grounded in science, supported by data, and aligned with the evolving demands of a more sustainable built environment.
