What G.E.C., Inc. does

G.E.C., Inc. is a privately held, multi-disciplinary civil engineering consulting firm headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, founded in 1980 (per founder-year source) / 1986 (per firmographics) and operating with 251-500 employees across the United States. The firm provides end-to-end engineering services — planning, environmental compliance, design, and construction engineering/inspection — to federal, state, municipal, and private clients. Service lines span coastal planning, engineering and restoration (notably beach and dune restoration and sediment diversion projects such as Mid-Barataria), civil and structural engineering, bridges and roadways, electrical engineering, environmental and NEPA services, water resources (hydrologic and hydraulic modeling), water and sewerage systems, green infrastructure, harbors and ports, and construction engineering support. Specialized practices include GIS and FAA Part 107 drone-based aerial mapping (20-year GIS track record) and numerical modeling through its GEC-NCI subsidiary. Notable technical capabilities include the use of ICPR, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, EPA-SWMM, ETAP, and advanced 1-D/2-D/3-D numerical models for hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and water quality analysis.

The business model is professional services delivered through competitive bidding on government RFPs, retainer contracts, design-build, and program/construction management assignments. Anchored long-tenure government clients include LADOTD (prime consultant on the Baton Rouge Sales Tax Street and Road Rehabilitation Program since 1991), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion third-party EIS), the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (PCCP, Louisiana Coastal Area), the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, the Port of New Orleans, St. Bernard Parish, and the Greater Baton Rouge Airport District. GEC was a one-third partner in the Louisiana Timed Managers (LTM) joint venture with LPA Group and Parsons Brinckerhoff, which managed LADOTD's $5.2 billion TIMED program. In December 2014, GEC acquired Coastal Technology Corporation, extending its beach and dune restoration practice into Florida. Revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed; the firm generates income through fee-based engineering design, construction phase services, project management, and inspection contracts. Operating geographies span Louisiana (primary), Florida, California, Texas, Mississippi, and Kentucky.
