New York's retaining walls span the Adirondack High Peaks' granite terrain, the Hudson Valley's bluestone bedrock, and dense New York City-area commercial corridors — and NYSDOT and private developers alike increasingly specify wall finishes matched to whichever of these distinct settings a given project sits within.
GSI draws on its earth retention systems work when scoping projects like this one across the state.
Geologic finishes for New York's Adirondack corridor walls replicate the region's granite character, while Hudson Valley projects are matched to the area's distinctive bluestone. This is one application of GSI's broader soil nailing expertise.
Stone mason and ashlar finishes serve New York's dense metro commercial development, delivering brownstone-adjacent character consistent with the region's architectural history at a fraction of natural stone's cost. GSI's commercial properties experience informs this approach.
Multi-layer staining for New York projects is calibrated to the state's full climate range, from Adirondack freeze-thaw exposure to coastal metro salt air along the New York City waterfront. This draws directly on GSI's transportation infrastructure work.
GSI's engineers experience also informs how these New York projects are scoped from the start.
Engineered for New York's conditions. GSI's New York architectural shotcrete finishes span the state's full geologic and architectural range — Adirondack granite, Hudson Valley bluestone, and NYC-area brownstone character — matched to project location. Supported by our case studies and our project gallery.
Design/build delivery. One contract covers design and construction — avoiding the miscommunication between separate design and build firms.
NYSDOT specification compliance. Design and construction records satisfy applicable DOT specifications beginning with the first engineering package.
NYSDOT partners and New York infrastructure owners describe GSI's architectural shotcrete results.
