Our
History
IN
1992
- George Coiner forms GC Monitoring, a Subchapter
S-Corporate environmental engineering firm specializing in methane gas
control and groundwater monitoring. Our goal was to protect humans from
dangerous environments. It was then when we first learned that methane
is 25 times more greenhouse gas producing than carbon dioxide.
1994 - GC Monitoring created a new division titled GC Engineers
expanding our capabilities to include site civil grading, stormwater
modeling, earthwork modeling and utilities design. Our projects began
to expand from Washington to Idaho then Southwest to New Mexico and
Arizona. Finally we went international and obtained licensing in British
Columbia enabling us to serve various public and private clients there.
1997
- GC Monitoring expanded its successful services again to include site
civil general construction and hands-on installation of our methane
gas control systems a design/build capability! We also began
building large geosynthetic liner lagoons, drinking water reservoir
covers/liners and landfill liner cell projects....Our
client responsibilities now range up to $10,000,000 construction cost
per single project.
2007
- GCM morphs its new environmental division in June...."GC
Solar" for creation and installation of solar energy photovoltaic
systems focusing in Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, and Arizona. Our
goal is to dovetail greenhouse gas control experience with our successful
engineering and construction practices "for a better global environment".
2008
- Within 7 months, GC Solar begins to pick up speed by winning a
project with Sam's Club as "ECO Contractor" to install solar
and wind as a "House Makeover" award package announced
by national media news. This opened the
floodgates for receiving solar/wind project requests from all parts
of the US with over 75,000 website hits in three months.
At the same time GCS attracts attention from a national
retail chain to develop solar photovoltaics on six stores. GCS continues
to expand its renewable energy services for schools, universities, government
and military clients.
2010
- GC Solar's body temperature exceeds the "98.6 kilowatts-per-project"
barrier meeting our goal to develop large scale alternative energy and
reduce carbon signatures for public projects in the State of Washington.
2011-2021
- GCS has developed power plants for 28 schools, four government buildings, and numerous commercial clients holding title of most commercial design and installation PV projects in Washington State. This title includes implementation of the first Lithium-Ion Battery Backup System powered by PV for a Washington school.
