WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“I trust Hanson to provide high-quality plans when I need them. They identify and work through a project’s complications, providing a clear and detailed engineering opinion.”
Alan Bloomquist Assistant Director Structures Engineering BNSF
We help your projects succeed by anticipating challenges and efficiently addressing them. Our team focuses on minimizing construction risks, reducing total ownership costs and limiting disruptions to train operations. We prioritize high-quality construction documents, which leads to competitive bids aligned with your timelines. Our deep understanding of construction adjacent to or through existing rail and public infrastructure is essential to your success.
“While the ability to use engineering training to turn calculations and drawings into a real object within the built environment is rewarding, the ultimate accomplishment is to do that successfully while working as a team with peers, clients, contractors and project stakeholders.”
Hanson’s commitment to our clients reflects our allegiance to our most valued asset — our employee-owners. We invest in you. Find out how you can forge your path with us.
