Golder Associates
Golder Associates is a premier global group of consulting companies, specialising in ground engineering and environmental services. By servicing client needs and building strong client relationships, Golder Associates has become one of the most trusted sources of professional services in the world. Operating as an employee-owned group since its formation in 1960, Golder Associates has created a unique culture with pride in ownership and a commitment to providing technically sound and cost-effective consulting and contracting services. The company develops close working relationships with clients in order to understand the specifics of the complex environments in which they operate. Golder Associates has experienced steady growth for more than forty years and has more than 4,500 staff and over 100 offices across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America. The company's growth and diversity of services have paralleled the needs of its clients as they operate in an ever-changing and complex global environment.
The Department of Highways Ontario (DHO) was embarking on major road building and an understanding of soil mechanics was to be key to the success of that program. In fact, Golder's first five projects involved the design of bridge foundations for DHO.
History and Growth Initially, Golder offered services in soil mechanics and foundation engineering. This rapidly expanded to include rock mechanics in the 1970s. In the 1980s, the company developed its groundwater expertise into the broader field of hydrogeology - and, in particular, contaminated soil and groundwater. With an increasing environmental awareness, biological capabilities were added in the early 1990s - especially in aquatic and terrestrial biology and toxicology. In the late 1990s, with the ongoing development of the company's capabilities in water-related fields, hydrology and hydraulic engineering services were added to Golder's repertoire. The new millennium brought skills in geographic information systems, information management and cultural sciences. As Golder's range of technical disciplines increased, so has the range of services. In the early years, the company offered specialist consulting services, acting as sub-consultant for a niche market. By 1980, the company was serving as prime consultant, providing project management plus retaining the services of other sub-consultants on behalf of its clients. In the 1990s, as the range of technical disciplines expanded, Golder began to offer full-service consulting packages - particularly for environmental impact assessment. This led to providing strategic and risk management services. The company now provides contracting services, so that clients can take advantage of turnkey service - particularly in remediation and restoration of contaminated sites.
Clients benefit from over 30 years of experience in Ireland. Through its sister office in Belfast - and the Golder network of offices throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and around the world - Golder can provide the full range of its extensive services portfolio.
