Geotechnical Stabilisation

Specialists in Stability.

CAN Geotechnical delivers complex stabilisation solutions across the UK and Ireland, backed by decades of experience operating in some of the most challenging environments.

We pioneered the use of rope access drilling for slope stabilisation, enabling the safe and effective installation of anchors, soil nails, rock bolts, and rockfall protection systems in difficult-to-reach locations. Today, we continue to push the boundaries of geotechnical contracting, combining technical expertise with practical innovation to solve increasingly complex challenges.

Our teams work wherever stabilisation is required — from live rail and highway environments to coastal infrastructure, power stations, and demanding quarry sites. Whatever the setting, we bring a consistent focus on safety, quality, and buildability.

Our Specialities

Soil Slopes

Soil slope stabilisation for landslips, landslides or slope failures

Rock Faces

If not correctly managed, rockfaces can cause emergencies in moments. Preparing with proactive rock removal or containment can save lives.

Retaining Structures

We assess the existing wall, suggesting strengthening measures focusing on longevity not a quick-fix.

Enabling & Other Works

CAN’s teams bring decades of experience working in complex, difficult environments.

Inspection, Design & Build

Certainty and flexibility aren’t mutually exclusive. Drawing on our wealth of experience in design and delivery, we are able to provide solutions to our clients that offer certainty whilst adopting a degree of flexibility.

Bespoke Plant & Machinery

We have developed our own fleet of specialist drilling rigs and equipment, engineered in-house to suit constrained access and complex ground conditions. This allows us to adapt our approach to each project, and where standard methods fall short, we develop bespoke solutions tailored to the specific demands of the site.

Our Geotechnical Contractors

CAN’s Geotechnical contractors are highly skilled and experienced, and are all IRATA certified rope access technicians. Our teams work under the direct supervision of personnel with many years of specialist expertise in rockface stabilisation and geotechnical risk management. This ensures that all operations are executed to the highest safety standards, minimising risk during construction and delivering a robust outcome.

In doing so, this approach provides maximum long‑term benefit to the client, addressing immediate hazards while supporting safer, more sustainable management of the site going forward
