With GeoWall left in a state of disarray, under the leadership from undergraduate James Zou, a new vision for the team was established to create a sustained organization to expand geotechnical engineering through a competition based medium.

Under James, the team re-established lab, design and build sessions, secured lucrative corporate sponsorships and field trip opportunities, and created its vast networks of websites, social media, and archives of all known GeoWall history and information. In addition, under James, he established the first UC Berkeley chapter of the California Geotechnical Engineering Association (CalGeo) that will expand geotechnical engineering through a professional development based medium and complement GeoWall.

After a couple years in lockdown, universities worldwide began to open up in-person once again and another revival attempt was made. As graduate students, Connor Geudeker and Carlos Jimenez recruited a ragtag crew of undergraduate friends to represent Berkeley at MidPac. This crew would win 2nd place at Chico State. At the conclusion of the 2023 MidPac Competition, with the entire crew graduating, the shadow of uncertainty loomed over as to whether the team will continue.
