About
Our Story
In 1997, our founder, Michael Sutton, PE, purchased a small engineering firm in Chicago. In 1998, we changed the company name to Infrastructure Engineering Inc. (IEI) to better reflect the work we deliver. We partner with public agencies and private owners of all sizes to reduce risk, compress schedules, and keep critical infrastructure and communities moving. We deliver civil and structural engineering solutions for complex highway, roadway, streetscape, bridge, water management, mass transit, and aviation projects.
Our approach has earned us multiple industry awards for both engineering solutions and our company culture. IEI values our clients, partners, and employees because these relationships allow us to live our mission of connecting communities through every project we deliver.
Our clients benefit from the combination of our experienced leadership TEAM and the group of diverse, talented professionals working across ten offices in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Georgia, and California.
Through the Infrastructure Engineering Foundation, we support the communities where we live and work.
