Client in Wyoming on Landslides Which Damaged WYDOT Roads

In 2017, another well above normal snowpack winter and heavy spring rains resulted in 23 new landslides, which damaged or threatened WYDOT roads. WYDOT turned to GSI to help respond to these emergency situations. GSI was able to respond very quickly and in most cases had personnel on site to assess the site within 24 hours. They would provide a proposal for remediation with a preliminary design and estimated costs within 48 hours in most cases. During 2017, GSI was selected to perform remediation with contracts at six separate sites. In all cases, they were prepared to mobilize to the sites and begin work within a week of being given notice to proceed. A unique element of these emergency contracts was a partnership, between WYDOT and GSI, by which WYDOT provided some logistical support such as traffic control and providing water for drilling operations so that GSI could focus its efforts on performing the specialty work. This arrangement resulted in cost effective, efficient, successful projects. When responding to emergency landslide repair, time truly is money, the sooner a landslide can be remediated before it has a chance to grow, the less expensive it is to repair. In the past, WYDOT has experienced situations in which, landslides could possibly have been remediated quicker, experienced further failure during drawn out conventional design and contracting methods resulting in higher costs due to the additional failure. GSI uses various types of innovative geo-technology in their landslide remediation projects…. All of these projects were completed on schedule, even with cold weather conditions and snow storms …. All of the stabilization projects that GSI completed for WYDOT included a warranty to repair any of the remediation that would happen to fail, but to date none of the work that they have performed has required any repair. I would highly recommend GeoStabilization International to perform emergency landslide and slope remediation work. They have the resources, personnel, and expertise to respond to your emergency in a timely, professional manner.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the expert design and construction work performed by your company on our [Retaining Wall Project]. On the design side, I was truly impressed by how quickly and efficiently you and the other engineers responded to the need to revise the original design due to conflicts that arose with many of the proposed soil nails and the locations of the existing underground utilities. The problem was recognized on a Friday and the project was redesigned, new calculations performed, and revised design plans prepared before the weekend expired. Obviously, you and others worked through the weekend to keep the job moving forward and on schedule. Thanks to you and your firm for the professional and courteous performance of both the design and construction work. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone who may have a need for the specialized types of services that your company is not only capable, but expert in performing.

I am pleased to write this note about our working relationship with GSI. My experience with them has been excellent. They have a great team of people from engineering to construction. GSI is a fast acting group who puts a solid proven solution to work in a very quick manner. Their field personnel are well schooled on their construction methods and quite efficient when providing the services required to meet design. It has been refreshing to work with this group, as they are professional from design to implementation.
