    GMB provided Wicomico County with engineering services for the water extension of municipal water supply to the Salisbury Regional Airport.  GMB’s work on this project began in 2013 with the completion of a Feasibility Study for Wicomico County to determine the most cost-effective and feasible option to provide public water service to the Airport.  GMB assisted the County in efforts to find funding through State and Federal loan and grant programs.  Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) provided $1,500,000 in grant funds to fund this project with the remaining of funds coming from a state revolving fund (SRF) loan.

    In 2017, GMB was hired to complete final planning and design phase services.  The project extends the City of Salisbury public water from Wor-Wic Community College located east of Salisbury on U.S. Route 50, along Walston Switch Road, crossing under Mt. Herman Road (State Route 350) and connecting to the Salisbury Regional Airport on Airport Road and within the Airport Industrial Park.  The project included installation of approximately 24,000 LF of water main and 3,900 LF of directional drilled fusible PVC.  In addition to installing the main distribution lines, the project also included abandonment of all existing onsite wells and connecting the existing buildings to the public water supply.  The project also included a chlorine booster station to maintain chlorine levels within the system for disinfection.

    GMB provided full construction administration and inspection services for the project on behalf of Wicomico County.  GMB coordinated all monthly meetings between the County, City of Salisbury, MDE, and Contractors and managed the grant and funding reimbursements.  GMB provided full-time inspection and coordinated daily with the Contractor to complete a high-quality job and maintain the schedule.

    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.

    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.

    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.
