"I had the pleasure of working with GEI, and specifically Chris Pray, on our Port Monmouth, N.J. Army Corps project. GEI did the design for us on a major Value Engineering initiative on the project that saved the Army Corps, and us, a substantial amount of time and money. We also had GEI design our large cofferdam for the project, which Chris spearheaded. The design was a substantial improvement over the owner-suggested design. We found GEI, and most specifically Chris, to be responsive, timely, and open-minded when discussing ideas, as well as practical. Extremely important attributes for us as a contractor when working with a design firm.” - Henry Meyers, President - Anselmi & DeCicco, Inc.
