Overview:

Our engineers use the most cutting-edge limit equilibrium and finite element analysis programs to evaluate slope stability. Models are powerful tools, but only when coupled with accurate input data and the experience and intuition to understand the results.

At any given time, our teams are involved in several research projects sponsored by the company or public entities. This research translates into the newest methods and technologies – from concept to verification to implementation – with significant cost and time savings to our clients.

GSI also maintains on average a 3:1 ratio between field crews and engineers and actively trains our site supervisors in construction techniques and the principles of subsurface investigation and landslide repair. This training allows constant real-time feedback to our engineering staff on any deviations from expected site conditions. Our engineering staff then work integrally with field personnel – often with a continuous onsite presence – to ensure that the conditions encountered during construction are those assumed during design.
