    GMB provided engineering services for a boat ramp replacement at Memorial Park on Chincoteague Island, Virginia.

    The project included:

    • Removal and replacement of the existing single lane boat ramp with a double lane boat ramp along with the addition of a floating boarding dock between the lanes. The slope and depth of the ramp accommodate Class 1 and select Class 2 sized recreational boats.
    • Replacement of side flank walls with timber wales and vinyl bulkhead sheet that extend to the end of the ramp.
    • Survey of site to obtain bathymetry, topography, and locate existing exposed features on the site.
    • Conceptual design and construction drawings for the replacement boat ramp.

    Town of St. Michaels, MD

    In 2020, GMB completed a DNR funded Harbor and Stormwater Infrastructure Study for the Town of St Michaels. This valuable study projected the flooding and sea level rise by 2050 and then identified at risk areas and associated mitigation strategies for our main harbor and adjacent infrastructure. This was the valuable foundation the Town Commissioners needed for their planning and developed community awareness and support. Building on this study, the Town of St Michaels created the Climate Change/ Sea Level Rise Commission to pursue grants to implement these mitigation plans. Thanks to GMB’s study, the Town has been successful in pursuing grant funding.

    Harper & Sons, Inc. 

    For over 35 years, our firm has appreciated the outstanding engineering and architecture that GMB can be trusted to deliver. Project after project, we have found their designs to be sound and thoughtful. We’ve experienced the same successful outcomes while executing design-build and traditional general contracted projects – a ‘nuts and bolts’ design approach with excellent constructability, functionality, and pleasing atheistic that benefit both the constructor and project owner. We highly recommend GMB for any commercial, institutional, or civil construction project.

    We recently finished the second of three projects for which GMB won the bids in the last four years.  I would like to thank Morgan Helfrich, Deane Townsend, and the entire GMB Team for their attention to detail, great communications skills, and mindfulness of budget. They are impressive to watch as they make great progress in the development of construction documents for our newest facility in Federalsburg. I look forward to the continued utilization of their knowledge, experience, and architectural skills to complete our Federalsburg project.  I highly recommend GMB to anyone contemplating a building or renovation project of any size.
