Structural and geotechnical engineering
Structure and ground, engineered together
GSS brings structural design and geotechnical work into one practice, from foundations and shoring to site investigation and assessment.
Core disciplines
Coverage above and below grade
Structural design
Design of structural systems for buildings and facilities, coordinated with architectural and foundation requirements.
Foundation engineering
Foundation selection and design driven by site conditions, loads, and the subsurface data behind them.
Shoring and retaining walls
Design of shoring walls and retaining structures that hold ground safely through excavation and over the life of the structure.
Our approach
Sound structures begin with verified site conditions
Site investigation and geotechnical assessment inform foundation selection, shoring design, and framing strategy, so the structure and the ground it depends on are designed as one system.
