Late in 2019, GeoEngineers established a new construction design team […]

GeoEngineers’ long relationship with Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) is continuing this summer as a Coastal Engineering Consultants/GeoEngineers team prepares to restore about 13 miles of the Chandeleur Islands. Historically, this string of barrier islands has helped protect New Orleans’ east flank from hurricanes and storm surges, but they have been steadily shrinking […]

Last month, the City of Redmond’s Downtown Park Project won an Award of Merit from the Washington State Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (WASLA).
