Civil engineering and design services for southeastern infrastructure
Keck & Wood is a 70-year-old engineering consulting firm serving transportation, water resources, and site design across the Southeast. The tech stack—Microstation, OpenRoads, Civil 3D, GIS—reflects a traditional CAD-first workflow typical of infrastructure design; notably absent are modern project-management or collaboration platforms, suggesting potential friction in cross-office coordination (they operate five locations across Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama). Hiring remains minimal with engineering dominating roles, consistent with a services-delivery model where profitability and cash-flow optimization are stated pain points.
Keck & Wood provides engineering consulting and professional design services to public agencies, utilities, and private developers across the Southeast. Core service lines span transportation engineering (highway and intersection design), water resources (distribution systems, treatment plants, stormwater), natural gas infrastructure, landscape architecture, site engineering, and land surveying. The firm operates five regional offices and is employee-owned. Active project work includes highway widening, public water systems, sewer infrastructure, and parks planning, primarily for GDOT and local government clients in Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama.
Primary tools include Microstation, OpenRoads, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS, and Deltek Vantagepoint (financial). Microsoft Office and Google Docs handle general collaboration.
Duluth, Georgia. The firm also maintains offices in Fayetteville (GA), Rock Hill (SC), North Charleston (SC), and Auburn (AL).
