Our Foundation
At GEL Solutions, our core values exist far beyond the framed list on the wall. They are embedded into the grain of our corporate culture and define the focus of our organization. It is the foundation of who we are, directing our path before the boots hit the ground, they guide every step of the services we provide.
How do we keep our finger on the pulse? We talk about it. We discuss our conduct, examine our delivery and recognize examples of exemplary service, or shortcomings, on a regular basis. In order to maintain integrity as a company, secure the safety of our employees and the public, and provide the best possible quality for our clients, we must analyze our services and practices
continually
. There will always be challenges to test our character but when we habitually live our core values, we are rewarded with satisfied clients, dedicated employees, a safe and positive work environment and a product that we can be proud of.
"Our values motivate and inspire us and guide every client engagement. GEL was conceived with strong values — founders George and Molly Greene instilled their passion for excellence and their dedication to responsive service, flexibility and expert project management into the very DNA of the company."*

Vigilant Field Technician Protects His Partner
|

Kevin Miller and Fred Horne were locating utilities on a hospital property when a near miss occurred. Due to access issues to the E.R., they were not able to park their vehicle in the ideal location on the street. So they positioned it on a nearby curb with strobes flashing, alerting pedestrians of work in the area.
When Fred was focused on a vault in the road, a car came speeding up towards him. Thankfully, Kevin remained observant to their surroundings and got the attention of the driver, directing him to slow down. The vehicle
decelerated and
went around the work area without incident. The driver appeared to be distracted on his phone and did not initially notice the men working in the area.
Hats off to Kevin for recognizing the potential danger and staying alert for the protection of his crew!

Answers May Be Found Deep Within
|
|
Two bodies of solid rock located almost 2,000 miles beneath the earth's surface, could hold answers to the formation of the Earth. These masses, one located under Africa and the other under the Pacific Ocean, were discovered long ago but the seismic data that revealed them at the time provided little detail.
Originally, these structures were assumed to be ocean plates that had been shoved under a competing plate. But recent evidence has brought a new theory to light. Researchers state
(the masses) "may have been formed from an ancient magma ocean that solidified during the beginning of Earth's formation." Furthermore, these giant rock structures may have survived the impact that tore off part of the Earth, ultimately creating the moon. Thus indicating the masses could be as old as the planet itself.
