Omland Engineering Associate, Inc. believes that a successful Consulting Municipal Engineer is one who understands the philosophies of the community and shapes the development and maintenance of the municipality infrastructure and capital improvements accordingly.  We pride ourselves on close working relationships and understand the needs of a municipality and its citizens.

Our philosophy for municipal engineering services embraces the theme that engineering is more than mere infrastructure; when provided in proper context it is fundamental to the quality of life.

Our advisory and government liaison services can also assist you in complying with all applicable federal, state, county, regional and local regulations, and also secure permits, grants and low-interest loans for a municipality’s capital improvements.  Our services include developing comprehensive plans that focus on responsible economic growth, land management and environmental impact so future area expansion meets the unique philosophies and needs of your community.  We recognize that patterns of growth impact roads, utilities, budgets and community services (Fire, Police, Emergency), in addition to impacting the quality of life for area residents and affecting overall community character.

Superior Planning and Construction Phase Services

Municipal governments face extraordinary infrastructure, environmental and land use issues.  These issues become increasingly complex as land development shifts from rural to suburban to urban areas.  We take a multi-disciplinary approach in planning capital improvements and look at each project from every angle to determine the best comprehensive solution.  This includes landscape architecture and streetscape design.

During the construction phase we ensure each project is completed according to the approved plans in a timely manner and on budget.  This requires seamless coordination among the contractor, municipality, utilities, residents and other affected parties so field changes are minimized and issues are resolved quickly.  This is essential for any capital improvement project to proceed smoothly.
