What Geo-Solutions does

Geo-Solutions, Inc. is a U.S.-based specialty geoenvironmental and geotechnical construction contractor headquartered in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. The firm delivers self-performed construction services for environmental remediation, groundwater control, ground improvement, deep foundations, earth retention, and marine/waterfront projects. Its technical platform centers on specialty in-situ methods — slurry trenching, soil mixing, jet grouting, continuous trenching via the proprietary Geo-Trencher, auger cast piles, grouting, polymer trenching, in-water soil mixing, and related techniques — supported by bench-scale testing and preconstruction engineering. Geo-Solutions has executed more than 1,500 projects across nearly all 50 U.S. states and 15+ countries, serving government water management districts, EPA Superfund sites, utilities, mining and energy operators (including Syncrude tailings facilities), and industrial clients in manufacturing and coal ash management.

The company operates as a general contractor, specialty subcontractor, or design-build partner depending on project scope, pursuing work through an enterprise field-sales motion with regional offices across Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, New York, Michigan, and Toronto, Canada. Revenue is generated through project-based construction services and preconstruction/consulting engagements (constructability reviews, mix-design studies, treatability testing). Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed rate structure. The firm holds a registered patent on an off-gas treatment system for soil thermal remediation and has pioneered specialty slurry chemistries (attapulgite clays, special cements, silicates) that enable very low hydraulic conductivity in cutoff wall installations.

Geo-Solutions is a private company backed by Blue Sage Capital, which made a growth equity investment in November 2023 earmarked for geographic expansion, service line growth, and strategic acquisitions. The firm was originally founded in 1979 (with the firmographic record carrying 1996) and completed a significant merger with Geo-Con in 2012 that materially expanded workforce and capabilities. Leadership comprises President & CEO Darin Payne, Vice President of Engineering Dan Ruffing (P.E., BC.GE), Vice President Mike Fisher, Operations Director Pete Maltese, Senior Consultant Ken Andromalos (P.E., 35+ years), and Safety Director Rob Winters (CSP, 25+ years).
