The University of Mobile is a private Baptist university that has seen rapid growth since its inception in 1952. This growth warranted the addition of new residence halls, additional student parking areas, a new baseball field house, and a redesign of the main entrance. GSE completed ALTA and subdivision platting of the entire campus property and performed several topographic surveys on campus, which aided in the design of all updates throughout the campus.

Samuel, Son & Co.
Constructed on a 30-acre Greenfield site, this facility houses a world-class hybrid automotive blanking line with a width capability of up to 2050 mm. Other enhancements include the ability to inspect, clean, level and lubricate sheet as well as produce rectangular, chevron and custom shapes. GSE provided civil, rail, architectural, life safety, and foundation design for Phase 1 and 2 of this project. Phase 1 was completed as a design-build partnership with Brasfield & Gorrie. The facility comprises over 200,000 square feet of environmentally controlled process and coil storage, an administrative office building, a tornado shelter and pallet storage. Phase 2 includes a new 2133 mm wide slitter.
Braidy Aluminum
GSE provided front-end engineering services in support of Braidy Industry’s planned aluminum mill in Ashland, KY. The front-end design scope required extensive coordination with primary vendors SMS, Ebner, Gautschi, Amova and several more in support of the melting and casting furnaces, hot mill, cold mill, annealing furnaces, CASH Lines and two automated coil handling bays. GSE’s scope included general arrangements, life safety, material handling, building and equipment foundations, medium voltage electrical, process, and fire protection design for the 1.6 million-square-foot facility, budgeted at approximately $1.4 billion.
Nucor Mill Complex
GSE provided complete engineering services for Nucor’s Specialty Cold Mill Complex, which spans over 400,000 square feet and contains a Push/Pull Pickle Line. Specialty steels are becoming increasingly vital in the automotive industry, and this facility is equipped with a six-high reversing cold rolling mill, twenty-four batch annealing furnaces, and a reversing temper mill. The complex will produce advanced high-strength, low-alloy, and motor lamination steel products designed to minimize energy losses when used as core materials for electrical equipment and motors.
