Northeast Geotechnical, Inc. completes second GBA Peer Review
North Attleboro, MA Northeast Geotechnical, Inc., a geotechnical engineering consulting firm, has completed its second GBA Peer Review, a rigorous, voluntary process sponsored by GBA, Geoprofessional Business Association.
Through GBA Peer Review, client representatives, employees, and a team of expert peers evaluate policies affecting the quality of a firm’s services and the effectiveness with which the firm implements those policies. The Peer Review team identifies opportunities for improvement and suggests specific actions the firm can apply to turn opportunities into achievement.
Established in 2010, Northeast Geotechnical currently employs seven geotechnical professionals at its headquarters office and branch offices in Georgetown, Mass. and Foster, R.I. The firm’s services include geotechnical and foundation engineering studies, preconstruction consultation, construction observation, construction-materials engineering and testing, soil evaluator services and groundwater studies.
According to Northeast Geotechnical cofounders and principals Glenn Olson, P.E., James Handanyan, P.E., and Mark Zambernardi, P.E., “We’ve gained some excellent insights as a result of the Peer Review. We’re extremely pleased by the extent of the positive findings. And, just as we hoped, the Peer Review team identified several areas where we can make improvements, and gave us some excellent suggestions for making the firm even better.”

GBA (formerly ASFE) established Peer Review in 1977, with the assistance of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Engineering News-Record lauded GBA (then ASFE) Peer Review as one of the 125 most significant construction industry innovations of the prior 125 years. GBA Peer Review was the only association program cited.
