Our municipal engineers have dedicated their careers to developing better functioning municipalities. As leaders in the municipal field, our engineers oversee the execution of infrastructure-related projects, adhering to project schedules, remaining within allotted budgets, and abiding by environmental requirements. Municipal engineers wear many hats. The team is responsible for the operation and supervision of a variety of municipal services critical to the successful running of a community, most importantly, residents’ overall health, safety, and well-being.

Many of our projects are presented in public forums for discussion, education, and approval. Our staff is experienced in presenting at planning and zoning committee meetings, city and county council meetings, and a variety of other public meetings. We have a reputation for articulate professional presentations, even when discussing potentially controversial or contested projects. We thoroughly prepare for such meetings directly with our clients, ensuring that issues are presented clearly and effectively, and that eye-catching visual aids are developed for our presentations as needed. For these visual aids, we often use three-dimensional renderings of the project sites.
