Roadway and intersection design
Transportation

Roadways & Intersections

Road improvement, intersection reconstruction, and pavement rehabilitation for Ohio municipalities, townships, and ODOT.

We design and manage road improvement, intersection reconstruction, and pavement rehabilitation projects for Ohio municipalities, townships, and ODOT. Services include local roadway resurfacing, widening, and full depth design, intersection design, parking facility design, right-of-way services, and bike path integration.

Bridge and structural engineering
Transportation

Bridges & Structural

Bridge design, inspection, and load rating per ODOT/FHWA. Rehabilitation and new design with full bid and construction support.

We perform structural analysis and condition surveys for multiple types of structures, including all types and sizes of bridges. We inspect, inventory, and load rate bridges per ODOT/FHWA regulations. We design bridge projects, both rehabilitations and new.

Our services include right-of-way, hydraulic studies, maintenance of traffic design, bridge design, bid support, and construction inspection.

Traffic engineering and signalization
Transportation

Traffic & Signalization

Traffic signal systems, corridor and signal studies, signing and pavement marking, accident countermeasure analysis, and MOT plans.

We design traffic signal systems, conduct corridor and signal studies, and develop traffic flow management plans. Services include signal design, signing and pavement marking plans, accident countermeasure analysis, parking and traffic impact studies, and maintenance of traffic plans for construction projects.

Trails and shared-use paths
Transportation

Trails & Shared-Use Paths

Multi-use and bicycle paths, ADA-compliant alignment, and coordination with ODOT, ODNR, and local park districts.

We design shared-use paths, multi-use trails, bicycle paths, and pedestrian trail systems for communities across Northwest Ohio. Projects include park paths, golf course paths, playgrounds, and trail connections along utility right-of-ways, waterways, and limited-access highways.

Services include alignment, ADA compliance, surface design, and coordination with ODOT, ODNR, and local park districts.

Water distribution and sanitary sewer systems
Infrastructure

Water Distribution & Sanitary Sewer

Water main extensions, distribution and sewer system design with hydraulic analysis and construction administration.

We design water main extensions, water distribution systems, and sanitary sewer systems in compliance with federal and state clean water regulations. Services include hydraulic analysis, system design, and construction administration.

Streetscape design and pedestrian infrastructure
Infrastructure

Streetscape Design

Pedestrian infrastructure, lighting, signage, and site amenities integrated into roadway and utility projects. CDBG-funded work in Maumee and Waterville.

We prepare civil engineering plans for streetscape improvement projects, integrating pedestrian infrastructure, lighting, signage, and site amenities into broader roadway and utility projects. Projects have included CDBG-funded improvements in Maumee and Waterville.

Storm water management infrastructure
Infrastructure

Storm Water Management

Detention/retention design, storm sewer systems, floodway assessments, hydraulic studies, dams, pumping stations, and Ohio EPA compliance.

We design storm water management systems addressing flooding, drainage, and Ohio EPA compliance for communities and public agencies. Services include detention and retention basin design, storm sewer systems, roadside swales, floodway assessments, culvert and bridge hydraulics, dikes, dams and floodwalls, pumping stations, drainage master plans, and stream restoration.

Environmental permitting and compliance
Infrastructure

Environmental Permitting

Ohio EPA permitting including NPDES storm water, waterline, and sanitary sewer permits, with state and federal coordination.

Proudfoot manages Ohio EPA permitting requirements for civil engineering projects. Services include NPDES storm water permitting, waterline and sanitary sewer permitting, and coordination with state and federal regulatory agencies throughout the design and construction process.

Grant funding identification and project financing
Infrastructure
