In infrastructure construction projects where modification or relocation of utilities is required, Utility Coordination allows concept, conflict identification, design and the beginning of construction to be performed concurrently, all within state and federal regulations. Early utility coordination allows cross flow of information, gives affected utilities sufficient time to plan new routes for their facilities and provides project designers time to work out a design compromise with utilities that will benefit both sides.
Our Utility Coordination section has years of DOT experience and knows the state and federal guidelines for reimbursement from the inside. Headed by a professional engineer and backed by a knowledgeable team of right-of-way and land agents with comprehensive experience in utility coordination at all levels, our team has expertise in civil engineering, surveying and transportation design as well as the DOT Utility Manual and FHWA Utility Accommodation Rules, which can often provide alternative designs that eliminate the need for a utility to relocate.
