Engineering

To complement our surveying services, Flatirons, Inc. has added a staff of experienced and qualified engineers capable of meeting your civil and structural engineering needs. Our engineers are licensed in multiple states and are familiar with the needs of the development community and the requirements of various jurisdictions. Having managed the development of multiple communities, we are confident that we have the knowledge and skills necessary to produce unique, high-quality solutions to many civil and structural engineering tasks. In conjunction with our surveying services, the engineering department at Flatirons, Inc. offers a complete package to take any project from preliminary design to complete build-out.

Engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (eg, railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (eg, river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (eg, buildings, bridges, and tunnels).
