Since 1960, Golder has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most technically accomplished ground engineering and environmental services groups. In 2007, with this expertise in greater demand than ever, our people used their skills and evolving technologies to make a difference in fields such as site investigations, foundation engineering, mining, due diligence consulting, site remediation, decommissioning, groundwater and surface water, industrial hygiene, air quality, environmental and social impact assessment, wastewater treatment and sustainable development.

across markets

In 2007, we continued to grow in each of our client market sectors. Our breadth of expertise, a continued focus on meeting clients’ expectations and very buoyant markets supported exceptionally strong growth in work for our Power, Oil & Gas, Mining, Manufacturing and Land Development clients in all regions of the world.

Our clients extend from local businesses to multinational companies, requiring a high level of local service and knowledge, enhanced by expertise from across the globe. These trends have powered the firm’s growth across borders. In 2007, Golder served clients through 6,000 staff, in 150 offices, in 29 countries on six continents, along with countless project sites.
