OUR FOUNDER
GET was founded in April of 1974 by Lynn C. Doyle, P.E. Mr. Doyle completed his Bachelors of Civil Engineering in 1964 and subsequently received his Masters of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Arkansas in 1967. Following his graduation, Mr. Doyle began practicing engineering for the US Army Corps of Engineers in Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1968, he moved to Mobile to be the resident geotechnical engineer for a local firm. After several years practicing geotechnical engineering in Mobile, he created GET with the commitment to provide quality geotechnical engineering and testing services to clients along the Gulf Coast.
Mr. Doyle had a passion for engineering and was a fixture in the engineering community for many years. He was a part-time instructor at the University of South Alabama – College of Engineering from 1969 to 1982 teaching soils mechanics and geotechnical engineering to many students who later became practicing engineers in the Mobile community. His dedication for the profession led him to serve as the President of the local chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the National Society of Professional Engineers and the state chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Additionally, Mr. Doyle was appointed by two Governors to serve on the State of Alabama Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors from 1996 to 2006. He was named the Mobile Area Engineer of the Year in 1991 and inducted to the Arkansas Academy of Civil Engineering in 1999.
OUR LEADERSHIP
Following in the footsteps of their father, brothers Curt and Clay Doyle, now run the family-owned business. Curt is the President and Principal Geotechnical Engineer of the firm while Clay is the corporate secretary/treasurer overseeing the financial and administrative aspects of the firm.
Both Curt and Clay began working in the family business early on in life and worked in nearly every position within the firm over the course of their careers. In 2011, Curt took over the role as President of GET while his father was still actively working and involved with the firm providing a seamless transition in leadership. With Curt’s leadership he has led the effort in the growth of the firm by serving clients across the Southeast while continuing his father’s commitment to providing quality geotechnical engineering and testing services.

In addition to creating a family atmosphere, GET provides employees experience in all disciplines of work. This experience and family-based approach to business is why GET is able to retain the most knowledgeable employees in the area.
