Design-Build
We take this proven premise and carry it a step further: Design – Build – Done. That’s because in providing an integrated solution for your geo-structural needs, there are no fears about potential disconnects with planning, engineering, installation and the many in-between steps.
GeoStructures applies its geotechnical and structural engineering expertise to develop customized, design-build solutions for foundation, earth support, and grade separation challenges. For projects in transportation, commercial building, industrial or municipal utilities, we bring to bear over a dozen Professional Engineers who have the creativity, skills and focus to save you time and money.

Transportation Projects
You build the road, rail or bridge and we provide the foundation stabilization, earth support and soundwalls. Provided on a design-build basis, our technologies generate benefits including:
• One source responsible for contracting, engineering and construction
• Integrated design
• No need to coordinate subcontractors
• Savings in time and money
Case study: I-95 at Telegraph Road in Va.

Commercial Building
If buildings is your business, then you need to factor in foundation, underpinning and earth support needs. We help by analyzing foundation support requirements to address settlement control. Then we make sure existing structures are supported through underpinning and tie-back wall techniques. Integration of these provides:
• One source with engineering responsibility for old and new structures
• One sub responsible for foundation stabilization and excavation
• Saved time, money, and less risk as compared to use of multiple subs.
An additional benefit: our LEED- Certified AP engineers and Green Advantage personnel can help get you the maximum LEED credits. Many of our solutions contribute to this by incorporating recycled and reused materials. |

Industrial Market
Tank farms, rail spurs, containment berms and industrial complexes all exert particularly heavy loads, and GeoStructures has the experience in providing the foundation support and retaining structures for a stable and flat site.
In addition to needing straightforward support, many of these structures are associated with brownfield site concerns, and safety and environmental requirements. With our design-build approach, you get the benefit of environmentally safe technology that meets the settlement, permitting and regulatory needs of your project. |

Water Treatment and Other Municipal Utilities
Municipalities are expanding water treatment and other facilities to accommodate population growth, but how well are the sites accommodating the loads of the clarifiers, settling basins, digesters and pump stations?
We can say they are doing it handily because GeoStructures has provided the foundation support, earth support and structural systems to allow them to perform.
Our settlement and uplift control solutions use Geopier System and/or micropile technology, while our earth support expertise makes excavation possible along with MSE Wall technology for grade-separation.
As a result, you get economical and performance-based designs, the best use of materials for LEED credits, and the ability to have a single source of responsibility. |
