Services

Our dedicated staff has built its reputation by providing clients with quality transportation planning and design services.

Today, Affinis continues to provide those services to both municipalities and state departments of transportation throughout the Midwest. Plus, Affinis professionals provide clients with a wide range of structural and geotechnical design services.

However every client knows that high quality service depends on more than good planning and design. It requires a team that strives to understand the client's needs and objectives, and has the ability to provide the array of services that support design efforts. Affinis meets this need with its full array of engineering support, construction and consulting services.

THE AFFINIS INTEGRATED DESIGN APPROACH

  • Public comment and public acceptance: We work closely with the people whose lives our projects will affect, whether it's a single block in a neighborhood, a mile-long commercial arterial, a dam, a bridge, stream bank stabilization, or 70-mile stretch of highway. Gathering information, listening to resident concerns and issues, sharing information, and answering questions early means fewer complaints and concerns later.
  • Design: We've built a reputation on the attention to detail, resulting in fewer change orders and fewer cost overruns. Our professional staff members use sophisticated computer technology in a design process that captures expertise from several perspectives, moves efficiently, and accommodates change quickly. In addition, we have built long-lasting relationships with colleagues that compliment our services.
  • Utility coordination: Beginning with our survey teams, we are able to meet with utilities well before design begins to help them understand our client's requirements. Continuing with our design engineers, we coordinate with utilities to incorporate their requirements into our project process.
  • Schedules: Experience and the ability to identify potential problems early mean our professional staff members establish reasonable schedules and meet deadlines. We understand the impact of missed deadlines on project budgets.
  • Construction: Our clients expect consistent, quality designs from us because that's what we do. We pay attention to the details - such as using construction sequencing to minimize traffic disruptions - to reduce the effect of projects on the public.
  • Construction observation: Successful projects are constructed according to design and according to accepted construction standards. Our experienced construction observers see that the intent of our design is followed.
