Founded in 1985 in Bel Air, Maryland, GTA began as a geotechnical engineering and construction observation and testing firm. Under the leadership of our first president, John L. Wirth, P.E., the company grew steadily, expanding to six offices and adding environmental consulting, natural resource planning, and groundwater and wastewater consulting by the time of his retirement in 2000. John built a strong foundation that continues to support our success. Today, with more than 500 team members across 24 offices, GTA remains committed to serving clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest regions. #GeoTechnologyAssociates #GTA #EnvironmentalConsulting #GeotechnicalEngineering #GeotechnicalServices #ConstructionServices #EnvironmentalServices #DrillingServices #GeoTechnical #Engineers #Construction #40Years

A Forest Stand Delineation (FSD) is the first step in assessing the environmental features of a project site, mapping out vegetation, wetlands, and terrain. This helps identify potential impacts on forest cover, wildlife habitats, and more, supporting construction projects that are both sustainable and responsible. Key benefits of FSD & Conservation Plans: 🔸Inventory of Environmental Features: Trees, wetlands, and sensitive areas are cataloged and mapped. 🔸Guiding Development: Helps identify areas suitable for conservation and minimal disruption. 🔸 Protecting Natural Resources: Balances construction with environmental protection for long-term sustainability. At GTA, we offer comprehensive Environmental Consulting services, including FSD.

🎉 What a way to kick off the new year! On Thursday, January 9, GTA Raleigh held an unforgettable end-of-year celebration at Rush Hour Karting. The evening was filled with games, foods, drinks, and axe-throwing. It's amazing to look back—just 3-4 years ago, a similar event had only 6 attendees. Fast forward to last week, and we had 20 out of our 25 team members show up! Though we missed a few teammates due to last-minute schedule changes, we showed our appreciation with gift cards for those who covered overnight concrete pours. Even two of our ex-employees joined as plus-ones, proving that GTA’s family atmosphere lasts long. We’re so proud of how much we’ve grown as a team and look forward to what the future holds! #GeoTechnologyAssociates #GTA #EnvironmentalConsulting #GeotechnicalEngineering #GeotechnicalServices #ConstructionServices #EnvironmentalServices #DrillingServices #GeoTechnical #Engineers #Construction

🏗️ Every successful construction project starts with solid site work. While it may not always be the most visible part of the process, it’s essential in laying the groundwork for a safe, stable structure. At GTA, our site work involves a range of tasks to ensure the land is stable and ready for construction. From structural fill testing to subgrade soil evaluation and utility backfill operations, we ensure every detail is addressed before the building begins.
