Over 50 years of geotechnical excellence, powering projects like Rancho Mission Viejo.
At GMU, large-scale earthwork isn’t just what we do—it’s what we excel at. For over five decades, we’ve partnered on some of California’s most ambitious grading projects, providing geotechnical expertise from initial investigations through design, construction, and successful completion.
One of our most impressive collaborations is the ongoing work at Rancho Mission Viejo, where GMU is proud to support the team and work alongside Sukut Construction and LB3 Enterprises to make sure the job gets done right. In 2024 alone, this project involved approximately 12 million cubic yards of earthwork—an extraordinary achievement made possible through teamwork and innovation.
Powering Earthwork Excellence
Our role in these projects goes beyond just design and testing. GMU’s geotechnical expertise ensures every phase of the project, from initial mass grading to delivering final lots, runs smoothly and meets the project requirements. Working closely with Sukut Construction and LB3 Enterprises, both leaders in earthwork production, this project exemplifies the scale and precision required for transformative land development.
