Services
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering team delivers comprehensive solutions for water/wastewater systems, roadway projects, and site developments. We specialize in master planning, system rehabilitation, and regulatory compliance for municipal and private clients. With FDOT-certified professionals, we ensure projects meet technical standards while addressing community needs through sustainable design practices.
Subsurface Utility Engineering
We prevent construction conflicts through advanced subsurface utility detection and mapping. Our SUE services reduce project risks by identifying buried infrastructure before design begins. Using ground-penetrating radar and vacuum excavation, we create accurate utility models that minimize redesign costs and enhance worksite safety for transportation and development projects.
Terrestrial LiDAR
Our LiDAR technology creates precise 3D models for pre-construction planning and as-built documentation. This non-contact measurement system captures complex environments with millimeter accuracy, reducing field revisits. Applications include roadway corridor mapping, mechanical equipment modeling, and archaeological documentation under professional surveyor supervision.
Transportation Engineering
We provide full-spectrum transportation engineering services including highway design, traffic studies, and signalization planning. Our FDOT-certified team handles projects from conceptual design through construction administration. Expertise includes safety improvements, drainage solutions, and compliance with federal transportation funding requirements for municipal and state infrastructure projects.
Construction Inspection
Our construction engineering inspection ensures projects meet design specifications and quality standards. We provide on-site monitoring, materials testing, and compliance verification for public works projects. With LAP/ARRA grant experience, we help clients maintain funding compliance while ensuring construction accuracy through detailed documentation and field surveys.
