Company Overview:

Many of their projects have been award-winning designs recognized by the clients and the industry.

Our name, 10-4 Engineering, is derived from the widely used term "10-4," which signifies “message received, taking action”.

  • Perform structural analysis and design calculations using a variety of structural engineering software.
  • Use Microstation CAD software to prepare design sketches and construction drawings.
  • Perform quantity calculations and assist in the preparation of cost estimates and contract plans.
  • Coordinate with other disciplines (roadway, hydraulics, geotech, etc) on structure layouts and details.
