Client Reviews

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!

Retaining Wall Repair in Oregon

We had a very good experience working with GSI and I look forward to working with them again. GSI was a good partner in evaluating our site conditions, access constraints, and performance goals, and determining a practical approach to repairing our failing retaining wall. I have been impressed with their combination of technical experts and construction personnel.

Emergency Retaining Wall Repair in New Mexico

I had the opportunity to work with GSI on an emergency repair of an earth retaining wall on Highway NM 475 at MM 11. This project was an emergency repair because the earth retaining wall is part of the roadway embankment, which was failing. Also, NM 475 is the only highway used to get to Ski Santa Fe. The NMDOT requested that GSI have repairs to the wall made before the kickoff to ski season. As I remember, there was not much advanced notice to proceed given. GSI was able to work in inclement weather, traveling hazardous roadways to get to the job site. The crew was good, they concentrated on production. They understood that this project needed to be expedited. The crew worked like a well-oiled machine. Apparently, some of the crew worked together on a previous project for six weeks. It showed because, for example, if one guy needed a pipe wrench, another guy already had it ready for him. Like I said above, the crew worked on production, they hustled, and did it all in a very safe manner. At the end, the wall had been completely repaired two days after the opening of Ski Santa Fe, which was good for all. I would highly recommend GSI on any future NMDOT projects.
