Transportation Market
KCI’s team helps state and local governments design, build and maintain a comprehensive multi-modal transportation network, including highways and roadways, bridges, ports, mass transit, rail, and airports.

From capital planning to ribbon cutting, we serve as a total project resource on large- and small-scale projects. We employ our planning, engineering, design and construction management services to develop innovative solutions that address aging infrastructure and capacity demands. Our environmental scientists develop innovative strategies such as stormwater management retrofits, fish passage, wetland creation and stream restoration to mitigate project impacts to the natural environment.
Whether through design-bid-build or design-build and public-private partnerships, we understand and adapt to different project requirements and delivery methods. Our projects keep people, goods and freight moving safely by land, rail, air and sea.
