Geoquest offers various stand-alone or combined solutions for building quays, jetties and other infrastructure built in or around navigable waters. Our products can be used to build quays and jetties and to protect and maintain shorelines.

  • Reinforced Earth® MSE walls combine engineered backfill with reinforcements (geosynthetics or steel) and a choice of facing elements (concrete, steel, or wire mesh).
  • T-Wall® precast modular walls are modular “T”-shaped concrete units with granular backfill, providing internal stability and pullout resistance against lateral earth pressures.
  • TechWall™ precast counterfort walls with counterforts acting as cantilever beams. The counterforts to minimise panel moments, allowing thinner, full-height concrete facings.

In addition, Geoquest’s line of geosynthetic materials for coastal defence and embankment protection are proven to mitigate subgrade strength loss, sediment erosion, filtration and drainage. These solutions can be installed either singularly or in combination with other engineered solutions that we offer, including:

  • High-strength biaxial and uniaxial geogrids
  • Woven and non-woven geotextiles
  • Drainage geocomposites
  • Geotextile tubes
  • Geosynthetic clay liners
  • Cellular soil confinement systems
  • Form concrete mattresses
  • Articulated concrete block mattresses

Our engineers work with developers to specify eco-friendly materials that adapt to the marine environment and that will attract fresh aquatic plant and animal life.

“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
