HMB Professional Engineers, Inc.

HMB offers expertise in structural projects ranging from preliminary studies, inspection, design, and construction management. Our engineers regularly perform design services on bridges, box culverts, retaining walls and concrete pads. These structures provide critical connections to communities, carry traffic over waterways, carry storm water under roadways, and reduce impacts to adjacent properties. For government entities, ensuring the maintenance and safety of small structures is a constant challenge. While HMB has a litany of large structure projects in it’s portfolio, we also stand ready to assist with the inspection, maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement of structures both large and small. Our engineers specialize in a number of structural design concepts including: • Welded Steel Plate Girder Bridges • Pre-stressed Concrete Bridges • Reinforced Concrete Bridges • Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts • Three-Sided Culverts • Retaining Walls and Noise Walls • Water Storage Tanks • Water / Wastewater Treatment Facility Structures

Did you know that today is National Walk to School Day? #WalkToSchoolDay HMB is always thrilled to work on projects that diversify transportation systems while improving pedestrian mobility. One such project is the Prospect Street Streetscape Improvements Projects in Berea! HMB worked with the City of Berea and Berea College to develop a plan that reconstructed the roadway, improved sidewalks, and provided pedestrian and bicycle access across Brushy Creek. The newly enhanced Prospect Street in Berea, KY brings improved safety and capacity while preserving the scenic character of the area. The project successfully improved roadway safety, managed drainage runoff, and enhanced pedestrian and bicycle accommodations. Through community collaboration and minimizing impacts, HMB was able to achieve these improvements within a limited budget, showcasing how challenging projects can be accomplished effectively.

HMB is a leader in Survey Services in the Southeast United States. The Survey Divisions have collected field data for roadway, structures, airport, land development, sanitary sewer collection lines, water distribution lines, stream restoration and storm drainage projects. We have experience using conventional, GPS, and drone surveyequipment and have completed boundary surveys, topographical surveys, ALTA surveys, route surveys, environmental surveys and construction staking surveys. HMB’s Licensed Professional Surveyors and crews provide fast and accurate topographic, design and boundary surveys. Using the latest technologies, including robotic survey systems and network GPS receivers, our surveyors are capable of meeting demanding deadlines. With the addition of our 3D laser scanner and drone fleet, HMB is focused on safety, schedule and budget.

HMB has successfully completed numerous water and wastewater treatment plant projects in Kentucky and southern Indiana. These projects encompass a wide range of facilities, from 2000 gallons per day (GPD) to 10 million gallons per day (MGD) plants, including facility rehabilitation, upgrades, expansions, as well as the design and construction of new facilities. Our team develops studies on population growth, long-term economic trends, and other conventional planning measures. This planning process enables a comprehensive understanding of a community’s specific requirements for water, wastewater, stormwater, construction administration, and development services. We assist clients in meeting new and increasing demands by designing treatment systems, distribution systems, and storage facilities that ensure the provision of clean and safe drinking water. The design team considers essential features such as pressures, flows, and storage to ensure that public safety comes first. HMB also designs sewer collection systems and aids communities in adopting more efficient treatment methods. Forward-thinking wastewater systems design can also foster economic development potential within an area. Municipalities also encounter stormwater issues that can hinder growth. HMB has expertise in collaborating with cities and other organizations to deliver cost-effective, long-term solutions for municipal storm sewer projects, addressing associated problems effectively. Other services offered include: • Preliminary Engineering Reports • Utility Rate Studies • Pumping Facilities/Pumping Stations • Storage Tank Improvements • Distribution/Collection System Upgrades • Wastewater Gravity Collections • Facility Planning and Expansion/Improvements • I&I Elimination • MicroTunneling • CSO/Wet Weather Abatement

Happy I.T. Professionals Day! We want to say a huge thank you our head of I.T. David Humphrey and all of his hard work keeping HMB technology running smoothly through a host of recent changes, including our rapid continuing growth! Thank you Dave!
