“What’s below the surface determines the success of everything built above it. If the ground and foundation aren’t right, nothing else will be.”
Ground Improvement Systems – Design-build support and independent peer review for aggregate piers, rigid inclusions, vibro replacement, vibro compaction, soil mixing, wick drains, and grouting systems.
Deep Foundation Design – Comprehensive design and review of micropiles, helical piles, augercast piles, and drilled shafts.
Earth Retention Systems – Design and evaluation of soldier pile and lagging walls, soil nail walls, sheet pile walls, secant pile walls, and tangent pile walls.
Forensic and Expert Services – Investigation, analysis, and expert testimony for geotechnical and structural failures, as well as pre-litigation evaluations and performance reviews.
Today, general contractors increasingly turn to Garbin GeoStructural Group from concept through completion for third-party peer review and design-build support. Our team combines decades of field experience with advanced analytical methods to help clients make informed, defensible, and cost-effective decisions that keep their projects on solid ground.

Garbin GeoStructural Group was founded in 2017 by Dr. Ed Garbin, Ph.D., P.E., D.GE, a Board-Certified Geotechnical Engineer with over 30 years of combined experience in construction and engineering. Licensed in 40 states, Dr. Garbin began his career as a laborer for a contractor in New Jersey and went on to become one of the most respected experts in geostructural design and forensic engineering in the United States.
From the beginning, our mission has been simple: deliver technically sound, constructible, and cost-effective geostructural solutions for challenging ground conditions. We serve general contractors, specialty contractors, developers, and owners nationwide who depend on us to bridge the gap between design and construction.
About Garbin GeoStructural Group
Start Your Project Your Confidence
Clients don’t come to us for “check-the-box” support. They come to us when the project is high-stakes, the subsurface is unpredictable, and the margin for error is zero.
We solve what others sidestep—because we don't just support structures; we solve problems with clarity and integrity.
