Public Works

The most essential services provided by our public agencies and private utilities are enabled by the buildings that too often go unnoticed. At TKDA, we see these hard-working public works structures as hallmarks of thriving communities, worthy of focused, specialized attention to long-term stewardship through asset management and condition assessments, along with thoughtful design.

Transportation Facilities

Buildings, structures, and sites play a critical role in the function of our transportation infrastructure. Public-facing facilities like parking structures, terminals, and transit stops are highly visible examples. The back-of-house facilities that are equally important to efficient and accessible transportation include intermodal freight terminals, fueling and charging facilities, snow removal equipment buildings, and operations and maintenance (public works) facilities. TKDA’s deep experience designing railroad, aviation, and surface transportation infrastructure for more than a century is paralleled by our work on the facilities that support it.
