Technical Mitigation for Infrastructure, Earth, and Water Management
Since 1982, GeoCHEM, Inc. has provided high-performance materials for the maintenance, design, and construction of both natural and built environments. Our applications are engineered for the most demanding sectors, from stabilizing thermal instability in Alaskan transport trails to ensuring zero-leak containment for industrial hazardous waste.
Primary Infrastructure & Transport Mitigation
We provide rapid-response and long-term stabilization materials for critical transportation hubs and global roadway networks.
-
Aviation & Highways: Rapid restoration of airport runways, taxiways, and aprons. We specialize in asphalt overlays, full-depth crack repair, and bridge header/joint replacement using high-strength polymers.
-
Pavement Preservation: Technical solutions for deep spall repair, armored nosing, and traffic sensor loop installations. Our systems restore structural interlock without the downtime of full excavation.
-
Industrial Dust Control & Surface Stabilization: Utilizing the Terra Series of advanced eco-friendly polymers. We provide technical mitigation for fugitive dust and surface erosion on industrial haul roads, helipads, and construction sites. These systems bind soil particles to create a durable, water-resistant crust that improves visibility and operational safety.
-
Site Logistics & Access: Road stabilization and Load Transfer Platforms (LTP) for utility maintenance and heavy-duty construction traffic on unstable subgrades.
Containment & Environmental Security
GeoCHEM specializes in "Zero-Failure" containment systems for liquid management, soil remediation, and hazardous waste isolation.
-
Energy, Mining & Industrial: Heap leach liners, oil and gas pit liners, and secondary spill containment. We provide technical mitigation for energy storage sites and industrial waste facilities.
-
Wastewater & Water Management: Engineered solutions for wastewater lagoons, canals, and reservoirs. Our systems ensure long-term liquid retention and environmental compliance.
-
Hazardous Material Safety: Brownfield gas barriers, leachate collection ponds, and soil remediation covers designed to protect local groundwater and surrounding ecosystems.
Erosion Control & Earth Retention
Our geosynthetic solutions protect the structural integrity of the landscape while supporting extreme dynamic loads.
-
Slope & Shoreline Protection: Scour protection, shoreline armoring, and spillway stabilization. We provide the mechanical reinforcement necessary for vegetated retaining walls and steep slope integrity.
-
Soil Stabilization & Trail Hardening: Earth retention and specialized trail-hardening for permafrost regions and recreational walkways. Our systems prevent lateral displacement and thermal erosion.
-
Advanced Surface Mitigation: Beyond mechanical reinforcement, we utilize Terra Polymers to stabilize fine-grained soils against wind and water erosion, ensuring site compliance with air quality and runoff regulations.
The GeoCHEM Advantage: Engineering Integrity
Every application we support is backed by 44 years of technical expertise. We ensure the material selected matches the real-world physics and regulatory requirements of your site.
-
Technical Consultation: Expertise in complex slope ratios, chemical compatibility for liners, and ASTM-certified testing protocols.
-
Engineered Durability: Utilizing advanced polymers like Percol for pavement and high-spec Geoweb® and Geomembranes for long-term stabilization.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Products designed to meet EPA and local permit standards while minimizing the environmental footprint of civil engineering projects.
