Collins Engineers, Inc.

Building Tomorrow’s Infrastructure, Today.

Founded in 1979, Collins Engineers provides civil and structural engineering solutions for transportation, waterfront, energy, and infrastructure projects across the United States. Their team combines decades of hands-on experience with innovative technologies to solve complex infrastructure challenges and deliver practical, long-term solutions.

Waterfront engineering has been part of Collins’ work since the firm’s founding. Understanding that waterfront infrastructure must stand up to time, tides, and traffic, their engineers design with durability, safety, and functionality in mind. Collins supports projects through every phase, from initial inspection and assessment through structural design and construction oversight, with a focus on compliance, durability, and long-term performance.

A distinguishing part of Collins’ waterfront practice is their team of certified engineer-divers, who combine engineering expertise with firsthand underwater inspection and assessment. This integrated approach gives their engineers direct knowledge of existing conditions and helps clients make informed decisions about maintaining, rehabilitating, and improving critical waterfront infrastructure.
