Hancock Engineering is a consulting engineering firm focused on providing comprehensive engineering services to villages, cities, and other clients in the suburban Chicago area. Hancock Engineering was founded in 1911 and this past year we celebrated 102 years of providing high-quality professional engineering services to our clients.

Hancock Engineering is capable of providing civil and consulting engineering services in a variety of municipal infrastructure services, including, but not limited to, the design and construction engineering of:

• Roadway pavement reconstruction and/or resurfacing and maintenance plans
• Storm, sanitary, and potable-water systems and networks
• Aesthetic improvements as part of streetscaping developments
• Green infrastructure solutions
• Pavement Evaluations
• Construction Management services
• Application for and acquisition of funding

Our typical client looks to us to facilitate projects from inception through completion. We assist the client in defining project scopes, planning time-lines, and estimating costs. Once the scope of the project has been defined, we collect project data necessary for design, generate preliminary and final plans, facilitate the bidding process and recommend award of the project. We then observe construction of the work to ensure compliance with the specifications.

Our engineering staff has a solid base of experience in the wide range of engineering services that most municipalities require. Our staff has acquired extensive education and experience in specific areas of civil engineering, creating a wealth of specialized knowledge that can be brought in to assist our clients. The collaboration between team members gives our staff exposure to all areas of civil engineering and is one of the great values we have to offer. Having engineers with comprehensive knowledge on the broad spectrum of the many aspects of infrastructure maintenance and improvements allows us to dedicate one or two expert staff members to our client on a long-term basis, who then develop keen insights into each client’s unique issues, ultimately saving the client money on future projects.

Throughout our projects, we make certain to continually keep the client informed on relevant engineering matters, to perform our engineering assignments to the best of our abilities, and to keep the best interests of the client as our primary objective. We believe we are properly staffed and exceptionally prepared to provide complete engineering services for your community. Having been in business for over 100 years, Hancock Engineering has a very long track record of completing projects of widely varying sizes, ranging from less than a thousand dollars up to several millions of dollars in recent projects’ construction costs.

Typically design engineering services are performed entirely by our own staff. We are highly experienced and qualified in performing all phases of Engineering for federally funded and internally funded infrastructure projects. Our company is a licensed Professional Design Firm and is pre-qualified to provide engineering services for the Illinois Department of Transportation (currently in an amount of $7,200,000) and for the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.

Hancock Engineering has an excellent track record of working with local, state, and federal agencies in our day-to-day operations. We have an exceptional working relationship with the Illinois Department of Transportation, which allows IDOT the ability to efficiently review our submitted projects ensuring our projects be completed within the intended schedule. We have been told by IDOT Local Roads that they “always know a Hancock submittal, by its complete attention to detail.”

We have also worked very effectively with other governmental agencies for permits, including the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, USEPA, MWRDGC, County DOT, and the Army Corps of Engineers, to name a few. Hancock Engineering acknowledges the importance of working closely with governmental agencies, as their approval of permits is an important aspect to a project’s overall timelines and budgets. Hancock Engineering is also in constant contact with Nicor, AT&T, Comcast, ComEd and other area utilities. Our excellent rapport with all permitting agencies and public utilities is something Hancock Engineering is very proud of.

The Hancock Engineering Company has been helping build municipalities in the Chicagoland area for 102 years. Hancock Engineering has always been committed to keeping our overhead costs low and to pass those savings to our clients. For over twenty-five years our sole office has been centrally located in Westchester, just minutes from the I-290 expressway.

Our office is within close proximity to all of our clients. Our immediacy to our clients provides us with the significant ability to mobilize to the project sites for meetings, layout, or consult with little or no notice. Our closeness to our communities ensures that our clients will not incur any costs related to travel or mobilization from Hancock Engineering during the project.

The Edwin Hancock Engineering Company is led by a team of seven Principals. These individuals make up the Directors and the Shareholders of the company, and all are active in the day to day operation of the company. A principal is typically assigned to each project as the Client-Manager. The client managers at Hancock Engineering are tremendously “hands-on” and continually devote their time directly to the client.
