Deans Bridge Rd. Landfill Cell Construction

Augusta-Richmond County awarded Gearig Civilworks a contract to construct a new 33 acre landfill cell.  A particular challenge facing the customer was an immediate need for available airspace.  Gearig met this need by dividing the project into two phases thus allowing the owner to take early possession and begin utilizing the cell.  Despite constant battles with over 70 inches of rain and a hurricane, through due diligence and expertise, Gearig was still able to meet the customer’s needs and save money. Gearig provided the customer value by researching and sourcing required clay onsite.  This allowed Augusta to benefit by Gearig excavating clay from a future phase of the site reducing excavation costs.  Gearig also proposed an alternative liner solution which saved the customer half a million dollars.

Columbia County Public Safety Driving Course

Gearig Civilworks was honored to break ground on the Columbia County Public Safety Driving Course Complex.  The course will be an important addition to the Sheriff’s training facility by allowing deputies to undergo extensive vehicular training locally and in a timely fashion.  Historically, law enforcement has been required to travel over two hours to participate in a program with a year long waiting list. This state-of-the-art facility provides for a multitude of training options from high speed straightaways and skid pans to a mock town and massive cone course.  Gearig is responsible for clearing, grading, installing storm drainage, water and sewer utilities and soil cement stabilization.
