Transportation

LDG’s expert staff of civil engineers have honed the skills necessary to successfully complete transportation projects of all types and sizes. Their responsibilities include items such as providing stormwater management and drainage solutions for highway projects, preparing and submitting highway occupancy permits, and site preparation.

LDG’s cadre of certified construction services staff is dedicated to representing your interests at the construction site. Through a variety of services such as materials testing, schedule coordination, change order management, project documentation, ensuring the work is being performed according to the plans, applicable codes, and specifications, and verifying invoices for payment, we help to ensure the project is completed on time and within budget.

LDG’s staff of environmental specialists and scientists are successful because they continually seek to balance the needs of the owner, the community, and the environment by providing environmentally sensitive and sustainable project solutions. We have substantial experience with stream mitigation projects, wetland identification and delineation, threatened and endangered species habitat identification, and coordinating with permitting agencies. All of these are critical requirements in securing the environmental clearances needed to move transportation projects forward.

Whether it is determining the type of foundation a bridge pier will require or evaluating slope stability of a highway cut, a thorough understanding of a project’s subsurface conditions is critical to the design of practically every transportation project. LDG’s geotechnical staff begins work on each project during the concept stage, and their involvement continues through the design phase into project construction. This unique approach to geotechnical engineering ensures our staff is intimately familiar with a project, which helps us deliver right-sized and cost-effective solutions.

Larson Design Group offers a range of survey and mapping services such as highway and roadway layout, rights-of-way, easements, street mapping, drainage ways and much more. Using state-of-the-art technology including 3D laser scanning and drones, we have world-class capabilities to successfully execute large scale survey and mapping projects quickly and economically.

Our transportation engineers, designers, and technicians provide a fully integrated approach to transportation projects. The roadway, bridge, and traffic services incorporate design, inspection, traffic studies, and comprehensive planning to assess issues and recommend solutions. Our dedicated transportation experts have hundreds of years of combined experience supporting projects of all sizes.

LDG’s structural engineers understand the specialized engineering that supports energy initiatives and work toward an optimal balance between technical function and economic impact. We review and consider all of a project’s structural requirements as well as the project requirements for the other engineering disciplines and use that input to develop our structural engineering approach. Whether designing collector buildings, structural foundations for wind turbines, or supporting solar panel installations LDG has the expertise to support the design of new structures as well as the rehabilitation and analysis of existing structures.
