Hanson Values

Integrity | Commitment | Quality | Relationships | Innovation

If you're looking for a firm that encourages innovative thinking and challenges you every day, with an opportunity to learn and advance, a career at Hanson is right for you. The belief in sustainability within our company's practices creates a focus on client success and partnerships that are important to our communities and our environment.

Our Roadway Engineering discipline is made up of Civil Engineers who plan, design, and prepare construction documents for rural and urban roadways, freeways, and interstates for local, state, and private clients. Aspects of design include vertical and horizontal alignments, geometric design, intersections and interchanges, roadside safety, pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, pavement marking and signage, utility coordination, erosion control, and construction staging. Software including MicroStation with OpenRoads/Geopak or AutoCAD with Civil3D are often used for this work, which may include 3D modeling of the existing and proposed improvements.

Here are some examples of exciting Roadway Engineering projects our interns have worked on:

• County Highway Project. Assist with sheet edits using MicroStation or AutoCAD, calculate quantities of various pay items to be used by contractor to bid the project, attend project meetings, and learn to write meeting minutes, and review work by others. Provide project site visits during construction to monitor contractor's work.
• Task Order Projects from large Transportation Agency (DOT or Turnpike). Projects may include design improvements for sidewalks and curb ramps to meet ADA requirements, intersection improvements such as adding a turn lane, evaluating roadsides for roadside hazards and how to address such hazards, toll plaza repairs, pavement patching, developing traffic control for bridge improvements, working closely with traffic and electrical engineers for roadway ITS installations, and developing new roads/highways. An intern may use programs such as MicroStation or AutoCAD, Excel, and MS Word. Like other projects, there may a need to calculate quantities of various pay items to be used by contractor to bid the project, attend project meetings, learn to write meeting minutes, and review work by others.
• Specific Projects from various transportation agency (municipal, local, DOT or Turnpike). Assist with project pursuit by performing a site visit to help an experienced engineer better understand the project. Collect data and photos. Prepare design alternatives and analyze provided data to produce impressive graphics for use in proposals. Each project will have different improvements if we are selected, but typical assignments for an intern may include working in CAD and a coordinate geometry package (COGO) to develop sheets and design layouts.
