With turnkey solutions for foundation support, grade-separation structures and engineered earth support, GeoStructures exemplifies the design-build concept. Their engineers and installation crew's work side by side to ensure that projects are well designed, supplied, and delivered in an integrated process. For commercial and transportation construction projects, this approach is particularly advantageous for scheduling, controlling costs and decreasing risk associated with site stability and structural performance. Their methodology also incorporates environmental considerations as a way of highlighting the value of the design-build concept. Their staff are accomplished graduates of Green Advantage, the only environmental certification program for construction-related practitioners that can contribute to their customers' LEED credits. As a result of deploying design-build on hundreds of projects in the Eastern U.S., GeoStructures has become the resource called upon by many general contractors, construction management firms and state road-construction departments.
