Geotechnology joined in on a USACE St. Louis District contract to provide drilling services at the Wood River Levee. The project consisted of Professional Services for Geotechnical Exploration and Relief Well Pump Testing as well as Piezometer Falling Head Tests within the Geographic Limits of the Mississippi Valley Division.

Geotechnology was a geotechnical member of the design team for the Western Regional Conveyance Project in Boone County, Kentucky. The project included 32,574 feet of 9.5-foot diameter tunnel ranging from 35 to 300 feet below the ground surface. This included 702 feet of aerial, bridge-supported sewer as high as 43 feet above the ground surface.

Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) has begun its $4.7 billion, 23-year, wastewater/stormwater system overhaul. This project was launched for remediating the combined sewer system originally built before the Civil War — the first system to be built west of the Mississippi River. The system needed to be improved to be compliant with USEPA and MDNR standards.

In 1993, Chesterfield Valley faced historic flooding due to the failure of the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee. The levee district has since authorized its redesign and reconstruction to a 500-year flood level. Geotechnology, under subcontract to Sverdrup Civil, Inc., completed six separate drilling assignments as part of the design phase of its redevelopment program.
