The Geopier
SRT® systemis an efficient and cost-effective solution for the stabilization of new slopes and active slides up to 12 feet deep. Watch Video
The Geopier SRT system utilizes Plate Piles to rapidly and economically stabilize shallow landslides that occur on sites with difficult access or that require minimized environmental disturbance. The SRT system can also be used to stabilize steep slopes to create more buildable space.The method has been used to repair landslides within roadway slopes, commercial and residential developments, and pipeline alignmentsRead More
Advantages of the SRT system:
Plate Pile installations are fast and allow for immediate stabilization without the need for massive earthwork and site disruption.
The cost to install the SRT system is typically significantly less than the cost of conventional remove-and-replace methods or retaining walls
After a heavy rainstorm dropped over 8-inches of rain within a few hours, a landslide formed in the slope above Riverside Drive in Memphis, TN. The SRT technology was an ideal solution because it allowed a quick response and cost effective repair that required no earthwork. Read More
Geopier's SRT system was selected by ODOT to repair three landslides that occurred along the ramp embankments at the OH-30W and OH-23S interchange. The SRT solution was chosen over traditional repair methods because it required no interruption to traffic. Read More

1)
Slope surface is track rolled to remove any disturbancePlate 2) Pile elements are driven at an inclination of 3 to 5°
3) Plate Piles are driven 12 to 18 inches below existing grade
It seems that the whole world is shaking these days. In the past ten years, we've seen major earthquakes in New Zealand, Nepal, China, Japan, Chile, Haiti, Indonesia, and most recently, Italy and Ecuador. We've even felt earthquakes in seismically dormant Virginia and even Oklahoma earlier this month! And the concerning part for civil engineers is that this is just the beginning. A U.S. Geological Survey seismologist says that Southern California is "locked and loaded."
