ROAD ENGINEERING : Schultz & Summers Engineering

Designing and Building highways is a complicated process that involves several steps. Typically, it requires putting together a team of contractors and engineers to handle the different aspects necessary to complete any road project. Schultz and Summers Engineering has been fortunate to play key roles in numerous road projects in Southeast Missouri.

Our experienced personnel understand what it takes to construct roads and we have provided many of the key services necessary when building highways and bridges. We have been involved in both privately and MoDOT funded projects. In addition, we are able to provide advice on funding for road construction through the various agencies that are able to provide infrastructure loans and grants. We also have experience in the creation and implementation of Transportation Development Districts, which can be the key to securing funding for transportation projects.

We have worked on the following projects:

• Shelby Road - Poplar Bluff, MO – Complete roadway and drainage design, Right-of-way Acquisition, Construction Staking & Materials Testing for a two mile, four-lane road that is funded through the Missouri Department of Transportation and made possible through the use of a Transportation Development District (TDD) that we helped to create.

New technology and equipment are improving and changing the highway construction industry. SSE prides itself on obtaining the best equipment, and newest technology available. Whether you need our laboratory services, surveying services or design services, SSE makes sure our experienced engineers and technicians have the best and most advanced tools available in the market.

We have a Corps of Engineer certified materials testing laboratory staffed with modern equipment and experienced technicians with a keen understanding of testing soils, asphalt and concrete. We can provide road and development designs that will work with all FEMA requirements in order to obtain Letters of Map Amendments (LOMR’s).

SSE also has sufficient survey parties equipped with the latest Global Positioning System (GPS) and surveying instruments to support the field surveys necessary for an accurate and timely completion of transportation improvements.

Designers and drafting personnel use AutoCAD Civil 3d to provide a comprehensive design and knowledge to expedite your project quickly and efficiently. After our Surveyors have made an initial survey of the project our Designers will take that data and create a 3 dimensional model of your project. This will allow us to provide our clients and the contractor with an accurate design, itemized quantities, and a smooth roadway that will be a benefit to everyone.

On time and under budget are two things you don’t hear enough of in highway construction, but at Schultz and Summers Engineering we are dedicated to providing our customers with timely service that keeps their project on schedule and under budget. From small city and county roads to large interstate highways, SSE has the personnel, experience and knowledge to transform your ideas into reality.
