About Kaw Valley Engineering

In 1982, the founders of Kaw Valley Engineering set out to build a firm that could provide a full range of consulting engineering services. Since then, our success has been evident as more than 170 employees in six offices continue to provide civil engineering, survey, geotechnical engineering, and construction phase testing and observation services throughout the Midwest.

The number of repeat clients at Kaw Valley Engineering is proof that we believe customer service and technical expertise are requirements for our industry. Our reputation depends on the ability to meet required schedules while maintaining the flexibility to assist our clients as needed.

We believe offering a full-range of services will benefit you. As anyone familiar with the design and construction process knows, coordination with multiple disciplines is just as intertwined as the components in the project itself. The disciplines overlap and questions arise – this is when our multi-faceted firm, with expertise in many fields, will be a great benefit to you. We will access knowledge in many fields of expertise to find a feasible solution to your design and construction needs.

Our continuing success is achieved through the intense daily efforts of our staff to give each project, regardless of size or complexity, the highest level of responsive and professional service.
