Overview
Founded 1946
Company Origins
The company was established in 1946 by two U.S. Army Corps engineers, marking the beginning of its legacy in infrastructure projects.
1957
Midwest Pioneers
One of the Midwest's first firms to adopt computer-based engineering analysis, setting the stage for modern technical solutions.
300 Strong
Employee-Owned Firm
Grown into a thriving, employee-owned enterprise with more than 300 dedicated professionals.
Top 400
Design Firm Ranking
Consistently ranked among America’s top 400 design firms for innovation and excellence in engineering.
Takes on high‑impact infrastructure, municipal, structural, environmental and land‑development projects, from diverging diamond interchanges to water systems and hazardous-waste planning.
Designed Iowa’s first diverging diamond interchange and led major utility haul‑route assessments and drone‑based structural inspections.
Early FAA-approved operator of commercial drones, enabling advanced inspections like high‑mast light tower surveys for Kansas DOT.
Expanded regionally with offices in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota—and soon Oklahoma—supporting growth across the Midwest and Southwest.
Delivered the Southeast Connector in Des Moines—its largest transportation project at $185 million over nearly twenty years.
Culture + Values
We avoid, minimize, and mitigate environmental impacts throughout conceptualization, construction, and completion of a project
We keep schedules and budgets on track while fostering environmental stewardship
Environment + Sustainability
Avoid, minimize and mitigate environmental impacts through careful planning during design and construction
Use green infrastructure and best management practices such as stormwater treatment trains, permeable pavements, detention/retention systems, and MS4 improvements
Commitment to minimizing environmental impact embedded across project lifecycle from concept to completion
Offices in four states (Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota) with Oklahoma coming soon—regional focus on environmental services
