GoldSim Technology Group

GoldSim technology can be traced back to 1990, when a group of engineers at Golder Associates, an international group of engineering consulting firms, was asked by the United States Department of Energy to develop probabilistic simulation software that could be used to help with decision support and management within the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, the organization responsible for the safe disposal of the nation’s nuclear wastes. After GoldSim was released in 1999, it was used as a proprietary tool by Golder Associates and was generally provided only to our clients. In April of 2002, Golder Associates began licensing GoldSim to others as a stand-alone software product.

In order to provide the flexibility required to continue to grow the business into new arenas and better service our growing list of customers and clients, the GoldSim development team purchased the software from Golder Associates and established a new, independent company, GoldSim Technology Group LLC (GTG), on February 1, 2004. (The detailed history of GoldSim through the founding of GTG in 2004 is discussed in this blog post).

Since the founding of GTG, the user-base has grown rapidly, and there are currently over 600 organizations and thousands of users in over 50 countries around the world. The software is very actively developed, and continues to evolve in response to customer’s needs.
