GCs Need a Sub Who Owns the Engineering and the Execution

General contractors subcontracting specialty geotechnical work face a recurring problem: subs who can drill but can't manage the submittal, respond to field conditions, or carry the design liability the owner requires. That mismatch creates RFI delays, schedule holds, and change order disputes that land on your prime contract.

GeoStabilization International operates as a fully self-perform geotechnical subcontractor with in-house geotechnical engineers and 700+ field employees. When conditions change at the face, we adapt the design and keep production moving — no sub-sub coordination, no engineering gap.

One Sub Covers Design, Equipment, and Execution

Most specialty geotechnical subs subcontract their engineering and rent their equipment — three separate accountability chains on your project. When something goes wrong, every party points at the other two. GeoStabilization International employs its own geotechnical engineers, owns its drill rigs and access equipment, and fields its own OSHA-certified installation crews.

On complex projects, that integration means your RFI cycle is measured in hours, not weeks. When the drill encounters an unexpected obstruction or a soil horizon shifts the nail pattern, our field engineer makes the call on site and documents the change. That's what 20+ years and 8,000+ projects looks like in the field.

What General Contractors Say About Subcontracting with GSI

Retaining Wall Repair for Commercial Property in Ohio

I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your company. Time will tell how well it all worked, however, the professionalism and quality of your team was most obvious. I truly believe we could not have picked a better company for this large endeavor. I was there yesterday showing it to our owner, and was quite proud of the work you did. Everything you promised, you delivered. And though there were a couple snafus, based on a job this large, it was beyond minor and also you made it all right in the end. Thank you for that. In speaking with Tammie, our Property Manager and Dave--the quality of your guys working was top notch.

Again, ask me years from now how it is working, but if ever we had another job with your name on it, it would be a pleasure and honor to work with you again!

Landslide Repair for Infrastructure in California

“I would like to thank you and the county for repairing the road slide on Dunne avenue. The repair is excellent and the contractors were very efficient and skilled. You personally did a great job of providing information about the status of the project. My family appreciates your efforts.”

Erosion Control for Water Infrastructure in Minnesota

I am sending this to you from Duluth Minnesota where 4 of your employees just finished working on a wall they had put in for us previously. That was a few years ago after Duluth suffered a flood. We are on Lake Superior and St. Louis County wanted to help stop erosion. The guys worked during the rain and just kept on going, like little Energizer bunnies. Nice fellows, all of them!! They are certainly a credit to your company and I feel it is always good to give thanks to people for a job well done. Please let them know how much we appreciated their dedication to get the job done. We will always wish you and your team good days ahead!!
