WHKS is a 51–200 person civil engineering firm anchored in Mason City, Iowa, serving municipal, transportation, and environmental infrastructure clients. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward Bentley (Civil 3D, MicroStation, OpenRoads, SewerGEMS) and Esri (GIS, ArcMap)—standard for infrastructure design—with no active tech adoption or replacement signals, indicating a stable, mature engineering practice focused on core design workflows rather than modernization.
WHKS provides full-spectrum engineering, planning, and land surveying services to public and private clients across municipal infrastructure, transportation, structural, environmental, and water systems. Core service lines include municipal engineering, structural design, roadway and bridge engineering, wastewater and water distribution systems, environmental services, land development, GIS, and construction engineering oversight. The firm has maintained continuity since 1948 and emphasizes long-term client relationships and team-based project delivery. Active project work spans highway design, bridge rehabilitation and replacement, wastewater collection and treatment, stormwater management, water distribution, and roadway resurfacing—primarily for state DOT and municipal clients.
WHKS uses Bentley's Civil 3D, MicroStation, OpenRoads, and SewerGEMS for design; Esri's ArcGIS and ArcMap for GIS; Bluebeam for plan markup; and Trimble Business Center for surveying workflows.
