The firm enjoys an excellent working relationship with state department of highway officials and consistently receives Excellent and Above Average ratings on consultant evaluations. Lu Engineers has demonstrated exceptional technical ability and quality of work recognized by technical awards from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the NYS Department of Transportation.

We utilize the latest CADD and Civil software to perform virtually all aspects of highway design. Our highway projects have ranged in scope from pass-through projects to large multi-county studies to urban roadway improvements, and interstate interchanges. This wide variety of projects has given us valuable experience in areas of highway design such as traffic analysis, signalization, storm water systems, right-of-way plans, lighting, intersection/interchange configurations, horizontal and vertical roadway geometrics, earthwork design, drainage, utility relocation design, and pavement marking requirements.

Lu Engineers provides a thorough understanding of planning responsibilities, citizen involvement techniques and the appropriate environmental processes required to select transportation solutions before final design. We maintain regular contact with the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Federal Highway Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other permitting agencies. This contact enables our key personnel to develop excellent working relationships with the many different entities involved in administrating and reviewing projects. Lu Engineers’ knowledge of DOT standards, regulations and procedures allows us to prepare the necessary permit applications, designs, plans, specifications, and estimates for transportation assignments.

Our professionals recognize the importance of interagency coordination and community involvement in transportation planning. Traffic and transportation planning projects can present especially sensitive challenges with regards to public involvement. We use our technical expertise to develop solutions to complex transportation problems. At the same time, we use sound consensus building strategies to work with our clients toward high public acceptance for these solutions.
