MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING

HECO has a unique understanding and knowledge of the role of an appointed city engineer and county engineer.

HECO understands the importance of planning and preparation as communities grow and connect. The City Engineer is responsible to describe the municipality’s present situation, analyze alternatives, and propose a specific course of action from an engineering perspective. Common of smaller communities, staff resources and available capital is often limited. As an appointed municipal engineering group, we address challenges with recommendations of how the City can proceed with implementation schedules for funding and improvements.

HECO provides our municipal clients with a single point of contact who will be their city or county engineer but they still have access to HECO’s full staff of engineers with a variety of expertise. On any project, a city or county will have access to a full engineering department as needed. This allows smaller communities to have direct access to an entire staff that they could not otherwise afford. HECO actively advocates and facilitates a management plan that incorporates both an integrated design and team approach to utilities and projects. This approach is particularly effective in our role as City and County Engineer when we are managing projects that have multiple goals and multiple stakeholders.
