Experience
Since 1978 KEM has gained a wealth of knowledge with regards to civil
engineering services, from design through project close out. The staff
at KEM has an average 20 years experience with the development and construction
of infrastructure improvement projects including: studies, design, on-site
construction observation, testings of materials, contract administration
and start-up services. This experience, encompassing all facets
of construction, ensures the attention to detail of critical items of
work which is necessary for a successful project.
Quality
KEM has established a quality-assurance program to ensure that we provide
the most accurate plans possible. A peer of the same discipline completes
the initial plan review. Senior managers complete the secondary reviews
and finally KEM construction personnel complete a constructability review.
This benefits the owner in both the quality of the construction project
and cost containment practices. In addition, all of our design personnel
have on-site experience with construction projects through previous work
as inspectors or periodic construction observation. This construction
experience is reflected in our plans and will ensure constructability
of the project.
Equipment
& Facilities
The staff at KEM are supported by a networked computer system equipped
with the latest Accounting, Surveying and Engineering Design software
available including: WaterCAD, Sewer CADD, Eagle Point, AutoCAD, Axium
and Merlin Dash to name a few. KEM also has two fully equipped survey
crews versed with GPS and data collection equipment. KEM has the ability
to submit projects in electronic format, via a high speed DSL internet
connection, if required.
Communication
KEM Project managers have weekly project status updates with the design
team and submit monthly status reports indicating services completed over
the past month and what is anticipated for the coming month along with
any areas of concern to the owner. This along with early coordination
and extensive communication help to make the plan preparation process
efficient and results in a set of plans that reflect the designer and
owner’s intent.
