Our Philosophy / Values

At EGS, our philosophy is simple: to be the very best geotechnical engineering and environmental permitting firm in the State of Florida. We measure that metric by the number of project pursuit wins that our Clients achieve on Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) projects and State and local municipality infrastructure project wins. We know that EGS cannot be successful unless our Clients are successful, so we strive to go the extra mile. At EGS, we are also focused on making a difference in the communities that we serve. We are dedicated to community service outreach in a wide variety of programs and promote STEM education programs for K-12 students to help guide the engineers of tomorrow.
