Services
Highway Design
Our highway design specialists create compliant roadways meeting GDOT PDP, AASHTO and FHWA standards. We handle geometric design, intersection planning, and construction sequencing for projects expanding two-lane roads to four-lane divided highways. Our engineers ensure proper drainage integration and right-of-way oversight while maintaining strict adherence to PFPR/FFPR geometry requirements.
Utility Coordination
We resolve utility conflicts through comprehensive coordination services. Our team reviews existing records, identifies potential conflicts, and organises resolution meetings with utility providers. We manage adjustment schedules and produce detailed utility plans that integrate seamlessly with roadway construction projects while maintaining compliance with current regulations.
Subsurface Utility Engineering
Specialising in SUE services from Quality Level B to D, we provide accurate underground utility locating and electronic file production. Our certified teams perform utility impact analysis and cost estimation for highway projects, ensuring safe construction planning through precise electronic detection and marking of subsurface infrastructure.
Erosion Control
We implement certified erosion and sedimentation control measures meeting GSWCC standards. Our services include designing and installing silt fences, retention barriers, and check dams. We provide WECS-certified site supervision to ensure compliance with environmental regulations during construction activities across Georgia's diverse terrain.
Construction Management
Our construction management team provides comprehensive field administration for infrastructure projects. We handle scheduling, cost estimation, and phased QA/QC reviews while maintaining strict adherence to GDOT standards. Our OSHA-certified supervisors ensure proper implementation of erosion control measures and construction sequencing across highway improvement initiatives.
