Capabilities

Civil Engineering

Our three Bs – biddable, buildable and beautiful – describe every plaza, pedestrian corridor, bikeway and roadway infrastructure project we design.

Lead Contacts

Looking for innovative designs tailored to the unique requirements of your project? Our civil engineers work with you to make sure you get them. Tired of settling for standard or humdrum solutions? We consider a variety of options – and suggest design modifications that can improve constructability. Combine our site civil services, structural design and geotechnical engineering, and you get holistic solutions that rev up your project’s efficiency and improve your bottom line.

Roadway Design
Our teams have performed planning, design, and construction inspection services for hundreds of complex urban intersections, corridor retrofits and suburban streets and roadways. We’re experts at meeting the requirements and exceeding the expectations of agencies at all levels of government.

Transportation Planning & Design
Our transportation planning, assessment, and design services draw on an in-depth understanding of evolving technology and an ever-changing regulatory landscape. We’re up-to-date on the latest transportation regulations. And we apply best practices to help you develop or adapt projects to maximize budgets and minimize potential impacts.

Truck and Vehicle Turning Analysis
We have unparalleled expertise in meticulously analyzing truck and vehicle turning movements within parking lots, roadways and garages to optimize egress and parking stall locations. With cutting-edge technology and a dedicated team of engineers, we employ advanced simulation software to model various scenarios, ensuring efficient traffic flow and maximum utilization of space. Whether it's designing optimal pathways for trucks to navigate smoothly or strategically locating parking stalls to minimize congestion, Our experts prioritize precision and innovation. Through our meticulous analysis and strategic planning, we enable our clients to enhance safety, accessibility, and functionality within their parking facilities, ultimately delivering solutions that exceed expectations.

Utilities
Our Civil Engineering group has tackled some of the world’s most complex utility infrastructure to devise economical and constructible trunk mains, water mains, steam mains, sewers, storm drains, distribution and transmission conduits, communications duct banks, manholes and subway stations. We also apply this expertise to forensic and renewal projects, performing investigations into gas main blasts, unexplained flooding, exploding manholes, leaking subaqueous transmission pipes and inadvertent electrocutions. Our engineers are experts in a extensive array of underground and overhead utility facilities.
