GeoStabilization International® has unparalleled experience in repairing and rehabilitating bridge abutments, piers, back walls, and wing walls. We have engineered and installed solutions for failures caused by:

  • settlement due to soft subsurface soils
  • undermining due to scour
  • corrosion of steel or reinforcing steel
  • deterioration of concrete or timber
  • disintegration of grout joints in masonry
  • construction related problems
  • voids behind an abutment or under an approach slab

Common solution techniques include: soil nails, micropiles, shotcrete, GRS technology, grouting, and lightweight fill.

Abutment Undermining Repair

Bridge abutments can become weakened over time due to excessive earth pressure and scour. By evaluating and deploying our engineered solutions, GeoStabilization International’s team will repair and strengthen the bridge substructure while keeping the bridge open to traffic.

Wing Wall Stabilization

Wing walls may begin to fail due to poor drainage and improperly set footings or vertical supports. This failure will result in walls cracking, bowing, or leaning, which can be a severe hazard to the public and traffic above. Stabilization of wing walls can be rectified by reinforcing subsoils and with various technologies such as soil nails, shotcrete, and more.

Abutment Refurbishment

As abutments crack and wear from deteriorated concrete and settlement, refurbishment is an optimal solution as it reduces the permitting requirements and the work can be completed outside the stream with little to no demolition.

Common Mitigation Applications

Typical mitigation applications can be of wood, concrete, steel, gabions, or stone construction. GeoStabilization International has revolutionized bridge rehabilitation with technologies that allow for old bridge abutments to remain in place instead of deconstructed and rebuilt, saving both time and money.
