The management and enhancement of water resources is an essential component of community development.

American Core of Engineers

From estimating the amount of water available to designing the physical and non-physical infrastructure needed to meet water needs, our professionals seek the best solutions for public and private sector clients.

GEA has a reputation for developing efficient and practical solutions while maintaining well-established relationships with permitting agencies. Our staff of hydrologists, environmental engineers and economists all work together to accomplish cost-effective solutions.

Our role is to provide the tools and human capital to help communities design, fund and establish or improve upon flood control, stormwater management, water quality and water supply and routing.

Transport engineering aims to ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. It’s the design that

keeps everything moving.

GEA has successfully engineered transportation solutions for clients in both the public and private sectors. To assure reasonable project costs, we stay abreast of the latest technologies and design trends in managing  transportation projects.

Because we also must use the region’s transportation systems, GEA is acutely aware of  the importance of highway safety and traffic control. We continually seek new and innovative ways to resolve transportation issues in projects that focus on community recreational areas, office parks, schools, churches, factories and shopping centers.

Often, GEA prepares general analyses geared to traffic improvement or concurrency. Florida’s Growth Management Act of 1985 requires that infrastructure exist concurrent with the anticipated impacts of new developments, county by county. However, there are many examples of developments where traffic causes negative impact – major backups and unsafe driving conditions – on vital arterial roadways and within these developments.  With American Core of Engineers assistance, clients are assured that practical, farsighted transportation solutions will be presented.

 

Traffic and Transportation:

• Traffic Impact
• Concurrency Analysis
• Roadway Improvements
• Impact Fee Evaluation
• Maintenance of Traffic Plans
• Parking and Circulation Study
• Pedestrian Facilities Planning and Design

Construction engineering governs the planning and process of construction for structures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams and reservoirs. The administration and inspection of these projects requires a strong grasp of engineering and management principles as well as business procedures, economics and human behavior.

Typically, construction engineers design temporary structures, estimate and control costs, plan and schedule projects, and oversee the procurement and selection of equipment and materials.

GEA has played a major construction engineering role on nearly every project we’ve completed. Our professionals are highly trained and qualified to manage all phases of construction on projects of any size, with a particular emphasis on deadline and budget.

Our Construction Engineering Capabilities

• Quantity Estimating
• Cost Estimating
• Contract Documents
• Bidding Assistance
• Value Engineering
• Record Drawings
• Final Certifications
• Construction Observation
