GSI Engineering Explained: What is Shotcrete? Shotcrete is one of the most widely used methods in modern geotechnical engineering for stabilizing slopes and protecting infrastructure. In the first episode of our GSI Engineering Explained series, we provide a quick overview of how shotcrete works and why it remains a trusted solution for a wide range…

For eight years, Wilzen Balucio has helped build a culture of safety across GSI project sites. As a Safety Officer, he works closely with project teams to identify hazards, manage risks, and ensure compliance with occupational safety and health standards.

In geotechnical engineering, some of the most important work is never seen once a project is complete. Soil nails are buried within slopes. Foundations are hidden underground. That is why integrity matters.
-
Not every slope can be reached by equipment, scaffolding, or conventional access methods. In some projects, the only way to perform critical stabilization work is to go directly onto the slope itself.

Deep excavations require careful planning and reliable support systems to maintain stability throughout construction. For this project, Ground Specialists, Inc. provided temporary excavation support to help secure excavation faces as work progressed.

Ground Specialists, Inc. was engaged to construct a pipe shelter designed to protect critical infrastructure from environmental exposure and external hazards. While GSI is best known for geotechnical and slope protection works, this project highlights the company’s ability to deliver complementary civil and structural solutions that support overall site reliability.

Ground Specialists, Inc. carried out slope protection works for a large-scale solar energy facility constructed on steep, exposed terrain vulnerable to erosion and surface runoff. The project required a combination of structural reinforcement and bioengineering methods to help stabilize the slopes while supporting long-term environmental recovery.
-
Ground Specialists, Inc. carried out slope protection works for a major expressway infrastructure project where exposed slopes required reinforcement to help prevent erosion and long-term ground instability. To stabilize the slope, GSI installed soil nails with wire rope support to strengthen the ground and improve slope resistance against movement. Erosion mats were then applied across…
-
A private residence overlooking a steep cliffside required slope stabilization works to help protect both the structure and the surrounding property from long-term ground movement and erosion risks. Ground Specialists, Inc. was engaged to reinforce the slope under challenging site conditions where careful execution and controlled construction methods were essential.
-
Ground Specialists, Inc. carried out slope stabilization works along a barangay road in Iloilo after recurring landslides threatened the safety and accessibility of the roadway, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall. To help secure the affected slope, GSI implemented the non-frame method, a stabilization system that combines soil nails, base plates, and high-tensile wire ropes…
