Power clients have trusted GAI since our founding, building long-lasting relationships that underscore our experience, reliability, and commitment. We have completed hundreds of coal combustion residual (CCR) management projects, including the design and permitting of more than 50 long-term CCR storage sites nationwide.

GAI’s solutions save clients millions of dollars by avoiding capital investments, reducing operating expenses, and maintaining facility compliance. We design structurally stable and environmentally secure landfills, impoundments, and pond-to-landfill conversions for major power companies. Our managers understand and closely follow changing regulations to assist clients with compliance. We develop innovative and cost-effective solutions for CCRs disposal and beneficial use and cut costs by negotiating regulation variances with state agencies. Our team also supports permitting, monitoring, environmental reclamation, and specifications to support the decommissioning/closure/reuse of client facilities.
