Transportation Engineering
At TBT Engineering, we provide complete engineering services for road improvements, new road construction and highway maintenance systems. We manage all aspects of highway engineering projects, including consulting, researching and planning, designing, and building.
TBT Engineering can provide clients with feasibility studies that outline the scope of the project, summarizing preferred routes, possible alternatives, assumptions, any environmental and social considerations, economic justification, as well as interim and final reports.
With every project, extensive research and planning are key. TBT Engineering has the expertise to manage and coordinate large teams of industry professionals, incorporating multiple disciplines. Noise and air quality, landscaping, structural design, drainage, and geotechnical appraisals are all aspects we take into consideration to provide the best solutions for the community.
