GRS was founded in February 2007 by Steve Parry and Jonathan Hart. Having worked together technically on a number of landslide investigations in Hong Kong and professionally as committee members of the Hong Kong Regional Group of the Geological Society of London, they saw a niche for a specialist company providing high quality, focused engineering geological services both in Hong Kong and world-wide.
Steve and Jonathan are engineering geologists with first degrees in geology and master degrees in engineering geology, both from Imperial College, London. Fundamentally, they consider that engineering geology is a subject in its own right and as such it provides specialist support to a range of projects and professions.
