What We Provide

Engineering provides a full range of civil engineering services, with a primary focus on transportation projects. From surveying, drafting and design to construction management and inspection, Engineering provides total project management capabilities. The same services are also offered to Larimer County and the Colorado Department of Transportation for projects within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA).
