From city streets and county roads to industrial infrastructure and site development — Western-EGI delivers full-service civil engineering with the expertise of a major firm and the responsiveness of a local one.
Western-EGI's civil engineering practice spans the full project lifecycle — from feasibility and preliminary design through final plans, permitting, construction oversight, and close-out. Our licensed PEs are registered in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Texas, and South Dakota, giving clients seamless coverage across the region. We are Wyoming residents who understand local soils, climate, regulatory requirements, and the communities our projects serve.
No other firm in Southwest Wyoming brings Western-EGI's combination of civil, geotechnical, structural, and materials testing capability under one roof. That means faster decisions, fewer coordination gaps, and better outcomes for our clients.
Full design services for paved and unpaved roadways from residential streets to high-speed industrial corridors.
Hydrology and hydraulic design for stormwater management, culverts, channels, and flood mitigation.
Complete site planning and design for commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential development.
Hundreds of miles of utility infrastructure designed and constructed — water, sewer, storm, and more.
Structural design for retaining walls, prefabricated structures, and smaller specialty structures — integrated with our civil and geotechnical practice.
On-site representation, contract administration, and project controls to keep projects on time and on budget.
Most civil projects require geotechnical, materials, and civil input to succeed. When those disciplines are separated across firms, coordination gaps create delays, cost overruns, and finger-pointing. Western-EGI eliminates that problem — our civil engineers work in the same office as our geotechnical engineers, lab technicians, and certified welding inspectors. One contract. One point of contact. One team accountable for results.
Our civil designs are grounded in subsurface reality. We don't design roads and then hope the geotech report matches — we know the soil conditions before the first line goes on paper. This reduces redesign risk and allows value-engineering solutions like geogrid reinforcement, crushed concrete base, and reclaimed material techniques that save clients real money.
When Western-EGI designs the project and performs construction materials testing, the inspector understands the design intent. Discrepancies are caught early, not after the pour. Our AASHTO-certified lab — consistently rated in the top 5% for testing accuracy nationwide — provides the quality assurance backbone for our construction management services.
We live here, work here, and are invested in this community. No out-of-state project managers, no unfamiliar faces on site. Western-EGI's principals are hands-on throughout every project — not just at kickoff.
Full civil and structural design, permitting, and construction management for the Events Complex horse stall facility — including sewer main relocation, a new potable water and fire suppression system, grading and paving of approximately 5 acres, and approximately 500 linear feet of retaining wall design. Designed, permitted, and bid-ready in 70 days to meet funding agency requirements. Client: Sweetwater Events Complex (Drew Dunn).
Design, construction management, inspection, and quality assurance for multiple parking lot improvement projects at Western Wyoming Community College. The projects included reclaiming existing asphalt as roadbase. Unforeseen water infiltration required a mid-project redesign — Western-EGI substituted CTB and eliminated the paving fabric, stabilizing the base and realizing substantial project savings. Client: WWCC (Chris Dever).
Geotechnical investigation and pavement design for two Sweetwater County paved road projects. CR #33 had experienced continual failures — Western-EGI's investigation identified the root cause and designed a section to address it permanently. Long Drive revealed saturated fine-grained soils and pumping during construction; Western-EGI redesigned in the field using biaxial geogrid and crushed concrete — a cost-effective solution that stabilized the base and saved the county significant cost. Client: Sweetwater County Public Works (Gene Legerski, PE).
Surveying, geotechnical investigation, and pavement analysis for seven Wyoming National Guard facilities statewide. Western-EGI evaluated existing conditions and developed cost-effective maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction recommendations for each facility. Project advanced from study through design and construction by Fall 2023. Client: A Pleasant Construction (Jim Jessen).
At the Sisecam Wyoming trona processing facility, concrete road surfaces had repeatedly failed due to sodium-rich process byproducts, heavy equipment loading, and thermal cycling. Western-EGI specified a chemical-resistant high-performance concrete mix, designed the roadway sections, and provided materials testing during construction — with a mandate to develop a facility-wide concrete replacement standard. Client: Sisecam Wyoming (Trent Sparks).
Structural design, CMT, and special inspections for the reconstruction of Sweetwater County Memorial Hospital's northwest entry — including a retaining wall and concrete flatwork directly over an existing underground utility tunnel. Western-EGI designed a lightweight concrete mix providing full structural strength without overloading the tunnel, and a zero-settlement concrete pad for an emergency oxygen delivery truck where any movement would interrupt critical hospital operations. Client: SCMH (Gerry Johnston).
