Services

The fundamentals of collecting, processing, and delivering survey information have changed dramatically in the 60 years we've been providing surveying and mapping services. Our clients’ needs have evolved, as has the technology. From traditional surveying techniques to cutting edge technology, Nolte’s survey crews are at the forefront of meeting our clients’ needs.

Surveying

We meet our clients’ needs by using the appropriate equipment for each unique project. Using our Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, we can perform surveying tasks with sub-centimeter accuracy. And with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data collection, we can deliver the final product directly to your computer system in a variety of ready-to-use digital formats

High-Definition Surveying

Nolte recognizes that to use technology to our client’s best advantage, selection of appropriate technology is critical. One example is the increasing demand for rapid collection of highly accurate data. That’s why we’ve invested in high-definition surveying (HDS) technology, giving us the ability to capture and measure millions of data points in a single site visit. The data is then delivered in a familiar environment, such as AutoCAD® or MicroStation®, and can be measured, mapped and modeled into the future.

Services

Technology plays an important role in how we do our work. Using the expertise of our Geographic Information System (GIS) professionals, essential information is readily available with a few simple clicks of the mouse. From producing detailed designs to planning and budgeting for infrastructure upgrades, GIS facilitates collaborative solutions by providing access to valuable information linked to a specific location. With GIS technology, data is captured and stored in layers, with each layer providing even more detail about a specific area. Knowledge, information, and experience can be immediately visualized, searched and analyzed. Why would you accept less?

Services

Helping our clients meet the long-term demand for energy goes beyond our ability to provide site selection, entitlement, design and construction services. It means working with our clients to develop solutions that moves their energy facility vision from the conceptual stage to the actual delivery of a safe and reliable power source.

Site Selection

Developing both conventional and renewable energy resources takes careful planning and analysis to ensure the financial viability of your investment. That’s why major utilities and energy providers have relied on Nolte’s experience to assess potential sites and the necessary infrastructure upgrades.

Services

Structural engineering requires much the same technical skill and discipline as do the other engineering disciplines, but it requires that the engineer design a project that is not only buildable, but also safe, stable, and affordable. In fact, structural design often entails the added requirement that the design be as pleasing to the eye as it is functional. From elaborate office and industrial buildings, to major highway and railroad crossings, to complex rail and light rail structures, to a variety of water related facilities, our structural team provides design, inspection, rehabilitation, and seismic upgrade services.

Buildings

Providing affordable, aesthetically pleasing, yet functional designs is our foremost goal on structural projects. On all of our projects we emphasize cost-effectiveness without losing sight of the long-term solution, a design that is safe, stable, constructible, and aesthetically pleasing.

Bridges

Nolte has been providing structural design services on diverse projects since the mid 50s'. Our structural teams’ credit includes major highway, roadway, railroad/transit, and bridge structures, as well as small stream and river crossings. We have designed hundreds of these structures, some as complex as drawbridges and freeway interchanges, others as simple as sound walls, retaining walls, and drainage culverts.

Water, Stormwater and Wastewater Facilities

Nolte has over a half century of experience providing structural engineering and design services for water related facilities. It’s why numerous counties, cities, water agencies, sewer districts and water reclamation districts call on Nolte to design everything from complex treatment structures to simple storage and detention tanks.

Services

The design of transportation facilities has been an integral part of our professional practice since our founding in 1949. Our experience includes straightforward local road widening and traffic calming measures, major freeway construction projects requiring state and federal agency approvals, multifaceted bridge crossings and support structures, and complex rail and light rail engineering.

Streets and Roadways

While the design of roadways may appear to be straightforward, it is the understanding, coordination, and planning of countless details that result in a functional, first-class project. We have experience in the entire process of improving roadways and traffic conditions, from conceptual planning and programming of projects, to preliminary and final design, including construction management. Our depth of experience provides invaluable insight by bringing construction issues into consideration early in the project. This allows for efficient project development (knowing the plans can and will be built).
