Stoughton / Massachusetts / United States
About GAI Engineers In 1934, M. Samuel Gronich, M.E., founded Gronich Associates Incorporated ( GAI ), a business committed to helping insurance professionals understand the nature and cost of electrical losses. Mr. Gronich was Chairman of the Massachusetts State Board of Fire Prevention Regulations for a majority of the 1970s. This board is also responsible for the Massachusetts Electrical Code. During his five decades as owner, Mr. Gronich expanded the business to include plumbing and HVAC losses. In 1989, George F. Williams, P.E., purchased GAI. Mr. George Williams had over 30 years experience in the engineering industry, and held two Master of Science Degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. GAI relocated to its present location in Stoughton, Massachusetts in 1992. This move allowed GAI to double its office space, create a test lab, and store evidence in a climate-controlled warehouse. Further growth, between 1997 and 1999 expanded GAIs office space and evidence storage. In 2001, Andrew J Williams, P.E., was named President of GAI. Mr. Andrew Williams has over twelve years of engineering experience in manufacturing and design, and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Under the leadership of the Williams Family, GAI has transitioned its resource base from part-time to full-time employees. Because there will always be those niche jobs, GAI is constantly refining its database of qualified scientists, engineers, tradespersons and test laboratories in very specific fields, which they contract on a job by job basis.
