Geoquest offers engineered solutions for the construction of embankments using geosythetic reinforcements.

 Engineered solutions for embankment construction

Geoquest provides advanced solutions for constructing embankments using geosynthetic reinforcements. Our engineered approach offers cost-effective, durable, and reliable options to ensure long-term stability while minimising settlement and deformation.

Innovative reinforcement technology

Geoquest’s geosynthetic reinforcements, including unidirectional geosynthetic geogrids, are designed to withstand heavy static and dynamic loads. These reinforcements are integrated with proven geotechnical practices, ensuring structural integrity and enhanced performance.

Benefits of geosynthetic reinforcements under embankments:

  • Improved stability: Prevents potential slips and enhances overall embankment strength.
  • Material separation: Maintains the integrity of different soil layers, reducing cross contamination of materials.
  • Enhanced srainage: Promotes water management, reducing pore pressure and improving stability.
  • Extended service life: Enhances structural durability.

Advantages over traditional methods:

Geoquest’s geosynthetic solutions offer several benefits compared to conventional techniques like excavation and replacement, or chemical stabilisation:

  • Cost-effective: Eliminates the need for extensive earthworks and specialised equipment.
  • Efficient construction: Simplifies staging and reduces project timelines.
  • Sustainable: Minimises environmental impact through reduced material use and waste.

Geoquest’s embankment solutions deliver modern, sustainable, and economically viable alternatives for engineers and builders, ensuring resilient infrastructure for future demands.

“I have worked with Geoquest on two previous projects and both times have exceeded my expectation. I find the product easy to work with, quick for construction and a good final product, looking the part. There is a good turn around time from the Geoquest team and always have answered any queries I have had. I would definitely use them again.”

Patrick Goodwin, Section Engineer, Graham Construction

“Excellent Service, system and simple to build – would always recommend”

J Millar, Project Manager, Osborne Infrastructure

“The design and materials supplied by Geoquest for the new Velindre Cancer Centre bridge was excellent, providing a high-quality product at a competitive price. The technical assistance with both the design and installation was highly commendable leading to a very high standard structure upon completion.

We would thoroughly recommend Geoquest for any retained earth projects and will recommend early engagement on future projects to utilise their vast technical knowledge for value engineering.”

Tom Morris, Project Manager, Walters

“Having used Geoquest for the provision of a reinforced earth wall system on a new highway scheme I found them to be very helpful and easy to work with in the run up to construction and also throughout the construction. The quality of the final product was very good and looks well now that the work is complete and open to traffic.”

Dave Mantle, Senior Site Manager, Octavius

“Osborne Infrastructure selected Geoquest due to their reputation and expertise. They delivered on both. They provided both the design and the fabrication of the reinforced earth abutments for the M27 Romsey Road bridge on time and within budget. Design changes due to unforeseen site conditions were dealt with efficiently with expert advice on hand to ensure we produced the right solution for our client Highways England.

I would be more than happy to recommend Geoquest and would make them my go to specialist for this type of work.”

M Whale, Senior Site Manager, Osborne Infrastructure
