OUR HISTORY
Regionally known, Gee Grading & Excavating was founded in 1950 by Albert Gee and quickly became highly successful in the region. Twenty years later, Albert launched Gee Asphalt Systems which enabled him to tap into years of extensive research done into the then undiscovered field of asphalt preservation.
Albert's desire was to find better more effective means to preserve the ever increasing volume of asphalt pavement found in public streets, roads and highways, airports, commercial and shopping center parking lots, and industrial and manufacturing sites across the nation. Albert was a visionary before his time and always strove to use his talents to help other people.
Alberts' early research into the properties of aging asphalt binders and how they quickly degrade from exposure to environmental forces led him to the realization that effective preservation practices significantly extend the life of asphalt surfaces. Following his study of many coatings and processes, Albert chose the GSB product line because of the cost-effectiveness, and compatibility of Gilsonite with all asphalt pavements.
Albert discovered that GSB offered:
- lower life cycle costs
- longer wear
- superior performance compared to the "top only" coating processes
- no short-term or long-term detrimental effects on the environment and EPA-tested
Albert was also concerned about the safety and health of his employees, and even back in the seventies discovered serious health consequences associated with coal tar coatings. These significant findings on the negative impact on the environment and health of employees helped sway him away from popular coal tar coatings towards the environmentally friendly and EPA-tested GSB product line. Today, Albert's hard work and perseverance in finding the safest and best asphalt preservation product has paid off in our continued growth and the loyalty of our clients.
