Five Questions: The Evolving Ag Tech Industry

Since its inception in the 1960s, GdB Geospatial has been a major presence in the northeast, known for its strengths in surveying and mapping, GIS, corridor mapping, subsurface utility work, and more. Several years back, looking to expand its construction-related services and seeing a good deal of opportunity in the western part of the state, the company established an office in Rochester, N.Y.

While all construction work is anything but a walk in the park, few projects are as demanding as an airport runway reconstruction. The specifications are (understandably) tight, the pressure to perform is high, and the penalty for delays can be astronomical. With all that as “incentive,” Rifenburg Construction successfully won the bid to head up a $46 million overhaul of runway 5/23 and adjacent taxiways at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Buffalo, New York.
