Rooted In Community

The Thrasher Group North Carolina is a multi-disciplinary consulting engineering, field services, and survey firm with offices located in both Gastonia and Kings Mountain.

We have brought together staff from the former firms of Robinson & Sawyer Inc. and Gray Surveying Company, as well as additional key personnel, to provide a robust team of local engineering and surveying professionals backed by over 60 years of history in the area.

Rich with home-grown talent and firmly rooted in the community, Thrasher is dedicated to serving the area’s infrastructure needs. Maybe you need a water line extension down main street, a site master plan, or a boundary survey for an upcoming business venture – if so, call us today to discuss your next project.

A History of Successful Projects and Repeat Clientele

Our company history goes back to 1983, when H. Wood “Woody” Thrasher, PE, a young engineer with an entrepreneurial spirit, started a civil engineering firm with his father, a seasoned engineer himself. Their philosophy was centered around the commitment to building business through successful projects and the idea that strong relationships lead to repeat clientele.

Since that time, The Thrasher Group – a multi-disciplinary firm composed of professionals in civil engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, environmental, and field services – has been growing throughout Appalachia and the Mid-Atlantic region.

Woody operates The Thrasher Group North Carolina – a separate company with roots that go back to 1964 as Robinson & Sawyer – under the same principles. Our team is dedicated to improving communities where we live and work right here in the western Piedmont region and across the border in upstate South Carolina. We bring talented, home-grown professionals together in a collaborative environment and give them opportunities to do meaningful work on projects that matter to local residents.

By listening to our clients and prioritizing their needs, we are able to find strategies and solutions that continue to produce successful projects and strong relationships.
