OVERVIEW: 2014-2017
April-December, 2017 - GLGA conducted a Technical Review and Planning Study for a Major Water Sustainability Project to supplement and provide a long-term water supply for the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. Project is sponsored by the Idaho Water Resources Board and involves construction of a Pump Station on the Snake River and a 14-mile Pipeline for water delivery from the River to the Air Force Base. Also, completed a Strategic Plan for a New Industrial City Development comprised of Refinery & Petrochemical Plants, Gas Processing Plants, Crude Oil and Product Terminal Facilities, Marina and Port Facility, related Power and Energy Manufacturing, and Business and Residential Development. Plan currently under review; GLGA is in an association with local government agencies and developer to provide Master Planning and Feasibility Analysis during the next phase. GLGA continues to provide consulting services for various Mixed-Use Developments, most recently in Egypt, and on a proposed development in southern California started in 2016. From July into December, GLGA provided PM/CM services for a Tunnel Improvement Project in Utah, in a 1.5-mile tunnel built in 1937 by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The project is at a 10,000 ft. elevation, in a remote location in a National Forest. Project involved tunnel preparation and start of construction of a pipeline through the tunnel (to be completed in 2018) that provides for an important source of irrigation and domestic water to a small historic city and farms and ranches in the region.
September, 2016 to March, 2017 - during this period, GLGA became involved in a number of professional and technical publications including the Journal of Petroleum Technology, published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers; Welding Journal, published by The American Welding Society and featured at their exhibit at FABTECH in 2016 in Las Vegas; and others. Pre-contract engineering completed for "Snake River Habitat Restoration Irrigation Systems Project". Marketing materials prepared for "Heavy Lifting Crane Services" (up to 242,000 lbs.) with a new mobile crane system introduced by Volvo and for "Pipelines & Welding Services" utilizing robotic welding systems as featured in The American Welding Society article mentioned above. Pre-feasibility study completed for new 42-mile pipeline and 16-20 megawatt power station project under consideration by an Idaho Irrigation District that will use their water rights for both power generation and irrigation. Construction and related activities in the northwest were slow during winter due to both economic and extreme weather conditions, about 40" of snow received during a 2.5-month period, along with rains and freezing conditions. GLGA continues to provide services related to a proposed Mixed-Use Development in southern California, and for introduction of a new energy saving technology currently beIng introduced and marketed to U.S. oil companies for use on their electric motor driven pump jack installations.
March to August, 2016 - Continued involvement in agri-business projects. Recently completed major pipeline project that delivers water to a large farm on a plateau at the top of the Snake River Canyon. Prepared feasibility study with power utility company to demonstrate how proposed design would increase capacity and improve efficiency over existing pipeline system. Coordinated demonstration of new orbital welding technology with manufacturer's representative, article to appear during fall in welding trade journal.

Proposal submitted on behalf of Clearwater Contracting, LLC; team members including El Aero, Elko, NV to provide helicopter services for horse gathering
Pre-feasibility study prepared related to acquisition and privatization of an Oregon Irrigation District. Advantages would include economies of scale in farming operations; the District is currently comprised of many small farms, and to achieve more efficient use of irrigation water, made possible by the large farm operation, replacement of the canal water delivery system, approximately 10-miles in length, with a much shorter pipeline system, and access to capital for needed improvements. Water shortages and loss of available water through canal systems has reduced crop yields, shortened planting seasons; which are particularly significant for small and marginal farm operations.
Continued support provided for E2T to assist with its introduction of an advanced motor control technology to U.S. based oil companies. Technology involves reduction of demand charges, and sale or reuse of regenerated power from pumping jack operations. Utilities now have programs to offset investment in energy saving technologies, reducing the payback period for purchase and installation of E2T’s product and providing a high return on investment to oil companies in an initial 5-year operating period.
January-April, 2015 - Market research underway and pre-feasibility study completed for Oregon Irrigation District related to investment in and construction of new pipeline to replace canals historically used to deliver water to farmers from a reservoir in the District. Plan involves fabrication of special steel pipe in California, and its delivery by rail (150-cars) then truck to project sites. Currently responding to inquiries regarding International parties’ interest in investing in U.S. companies and technology; in conducting an engineering design review for refinery project in the Middle East and with U.S. groups to acquire major farm properties in the U.S. Northwest. GLGA continues to provide project management and consulting services to an Idaho-based construction company involved in pump station, pipeline and related agriculture, energy and infrastructure projects.
