Applications of Geolift's Polymer Engineering
Great buildings are built on a strong foundation and as rightly said by scholars that “ a building is only as tall as the foundation is strong enough to build on”.
The above is very applicable to any commercial, industrial, infrastructural, and even heavy residential buildings. For the success of a building project like this, it is critical to consider the geotechnical aspect of soil and ground assessment as not all grounds and soil conditions are the same.
Do you know which soil type is mostly found in India? Alluvial soil and this soil type is heavy and has a high water holding capacity which makes it easily compressible and hence the worst ground for construction foundation.
Any building or structures built on soft soil or without proper soil condition assessment, ground investigation, and potential remedial work have a high chance of becoming problematic & unfit for operations at a later stage.
In many cases, to minimize cost in the beginning stages, the manufacturing plants are built without proper ground assessment and are operationalized in the shortest time span to maximize revenues. But due to floor settlement issues in the post-construction stages, geotechnical engineering is required within a few years. As per the traditional geoengineering methods of slab replacement or pausing the operations till engineering work is completed, turned out more expensive than the extra revenue generated at earlier stages. At GeoLift Engineering, we conduct a post-construction ground assessment for soil stabilization and other remedial work with no replacement of slabs and with minimal interruption to the day-to-day operations.
The leadership team at GeoLift Engineering has successfully restored & maintained numerous projects for factories/roads/airports/warehouses/ports in the last decade in India and UAE.
Industrial buildings, warehouses & more
Factories, warehouses and manufacturing plants that are built on soft soil end up with a higher degree of sinking at the ground level, cracks in walls/floor, slab bending issues etc. which not only become a safety issue for the workers but also impact the overall productivity or operation as many parts of the factory become unusable.
At GeoLift Engineering, we work on warehouse slab lifting, industrial foundation lifting, and the enhancement of the soil-bearing capacity.
Our modern technology, environment friendly along with being GMP compliant, allows us to work seamlessly in all types of factories without impacting the day-to-day operations. We don’t just fix problems but we improve the overall life cycle of the structure for a long-lasting future.

Road, Bridges and more
Bridge Approach/Culvert Approach is one of the major issue in roads which face continuous settlement, and to rectify the same a traditional temporary approach of overlaying the bitumen layer has been a common practice.
With the incoming of new expressways, the speed limits are approaching towards 120kmph, with this new speed, having smooth roads without any humps or approach settlement becomes extremely necessary to avoid any tyre bursts or accidents.
Internationally, the highway maintenance sector has been the biggest user of this technology, and maintaining infrastructure & avoid any major re-building is key to the Indian road sector.
GeoLift focuses on highway soil stabilization, pavement lifting as well as bridge/culvert approach re-leveling through polymer engineering and compaction techniques to prevent deterioration of existing roads/approaches.
Ports, Refineries and more
India’s coastal regions are of immense economic and strategic significance, as approximately 90 percent of nation’s trade by volume (or 70 percent in terms of value) is carried out by sea and due to soft, weak, highly compressible soft soil in the coastal region, it is crucial to correctly develop and maintain infrastructure.
Similarly, oil refineries play a critical role in the UAE economy, with 30% of the UAE’s GDP directly based on the oil and gas industry. Therefore keeping the ports and refineries running is critical.
GeoLift Engineering solves the common problems with large voids, ground subsidence, and structure sinking at the ports and refineries caused due to weak soil and huge loads of cargo ships going in and out of the port. Our solutions are applied fast, accurately, and at affordable prices.

Airport Runways
Subsidence or differential settlement of taxiways, Aprons and Runways is a major problem all around the world
With the increase in air traffic and passenger movement happening at airports, any issue due to soil weakness or void underneath the PQC slabs can create several hours of halt or delays in flights causing inconvenience to hundreds-thousands of passengers and revenue losses for the companies associated.
GeoLift Engineering starts over process by sending the team of specialist engineers to identify the problem and conduct relevant testing of the affected area to identify the current situation underneath the PQC slabs.
As a next step based on the time, budget and depth of the problem, a customized site-specific plan is prepared and shared with stakeholders.
GeoLift’s polymer engineering solution once applied can be made operational instantly after site clearence.
