Every day, GZA’s professionals build on a legacy of trust through their personal commitment to excellence.
Founded in 1964 by Donald Goldberg and William Zoino, two geotechnical engineers who first collaborated while attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, GZA has grown to a nationally recognized consultancy, practicing in the areas of geotechnical, environmental, water, ecology, and construction management. Over the last five decades, we have completed over 100,000 projects, both nationally and internationally.
