Planning
TYPSA believes that planning goes beyond simply documenting existing and future conditions for a community; it is fundamentally about bringing shared visions to life. This philosophy is reflected in the firm’s ongoing partnerships across a wide range of planning projects from multimodal corridor studies to transportation master plans, safety studies, and many more.
In addition to its planning expertise, TYPSA supports clients in securing project funding through comprehensive grant writing services; including identifying funding opportunities, preparing competitive applications, and ensuring alignment with regulatory and program requirements. By combining thoughtful planning, technical analysis, and strategic financial support, TYPSA is able to guide projects seamlessly from concept through implementation.
Roadway
Our highly experienced Roadway Group provides engineering planning and design services on projects ranging from small arterial/rural roadway to large multi-directional traffic interchanges.
Our CAD designers have extensive knowledge in design software such as SelectCAD, Autodesk Civil 3D, and MicroStation to perform various civil engineering tasks such as generating horizontal and vertical alignments, digital terrain models (DTMs) for earthwork analysis and evaluating horizontal sight distance in 3D.
Traffic
TYPSA’s Traffic Group has experience working on a variety of projects including corridor improvement studies, design concept reports, final traffic signal and signing and marking designs, maintenance of traffic plans, roadway lighting, and a variety of traffic impact analyses and evaluations.
TYPSA conducts development project-related traffic modeling, traffic impact assessments, and engineering analyses to evaluate potential impacts to surrounding roadway networks, determine if/when stop controls or traffic signal installations are necessary, and to establish traffic signal phasing and timing.
Our traffic modeling suite includes the latest versions of HCS, Synchro, AGI and Vissim.
Structures
Our Structures Group brings extensive experience in the analysis and design of prestressed and conventionally reinforced concrete bridges, bridge rehabilitation and replacement, bridge substructures/foundations, bridge inspection, retaining/noise walls, special underpass structures, box culverts and complex bridge widenings. In addition, our experience encompasses all aspects of design including project assessment reports, bridge selection reports, bridge design, bridge load ratings, bridge inspections, wall selection reports, retaining and sound wall design, box culvert and equipment underpass design, miscellaneous drainage structure design, light pole and foundation design, and solar panel mounting structures and foundations.
Drainage
TYPSA’s Drainage Group provides full service engineering services for surface water analysis, design, treatment and management.
Our design and analysis experience includes: watershed hydrology, floodplain analysis and mapping, roadway drainage design, storm drain collection and conveyance systems, open channel collection and conveyance systems, retention and detention basins, water quality basins, surface water treatment and site civil design of grading and drainage improvements.
We routinely prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates for roadways, freeways, site developments and flood control projects.
Utilities
TYPSA understands the design, coordination, protection and relocation of utilities are critical to the success of any project.
From large urban freeway projects to municipal utility projects to commercial developments, we are continually able to effectively design and coordinate with all utilities and municipalities within a given market, state and/or municipality.
