GeoStructures Ranked Among Fastest-Growing Private Companies GeoStructures named by Inc. as fast-growth company in engineering and construction Purcellville, VA (PRWEB) August 22, 2008 Inc. magazine today listed GeoStructures at No. 2,581 in its annual ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. The recognition is due to company's three-year revenue increase of 141 percent, which was attributed to both an acquisition and organic growth. Leading the growth was the company's signature Geopier® product, followed by Impact Piers® and Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC), all of which reinforce or stiffen the soil to increase bearing capacity and control settlement for low- to mid-rise structures. Growth has also been fueled by its design-build activities in the transportation sector, ranging from design/supply and construction of mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls, sound walls on permanent tied-back walls, and temporary shoring for excavation support. "While it is gratifying to be acknowledged as a growing company, our focus has been on smart growth the last few years, so we have added people and products that are creating long-term value," says Michael Cowell, P.E., president of GeoStructures. "Growth for us will continue to be a by-product of offering our customers the products and services they need for their construction and transportation projects."
