Utility Coordination


With extensive experience in utility coordination and negotiation, Cardno TBE appreciates ongoing, productive relationships with numerous state DOTs, local, county and city governments, utility companies, engineering and consulting firms. Our utility engineering/coordination staff include many former state DOT engineers and district utility engineers and coordinators who, prior to joining Cardno TBE, helped develop policies, procedures, practices and agreements still in use by DOTs today.
