assurance for construction projects related to industrial,
infrastructure, and community development. As a drilling, materials
testing, and construction inspection and chemistry laboratory firm,
we supported the engineering and construction industry. Our early
years were building blocks that allowed us to get our feet wet -
literally - performing services along the Gulf Coast's rivers,
bayous, and streams. Today, Thompson Engineering is known for
leadership on projects defining skylines, coastlines, and
transportation lines. We support clients in the industrial,
commercial, transportation, federal, and municipal markets. We are

assessments, land surveys, and geotechnical studies. And our
project management and construction management services often mean
we are the last ones to leave. We are a proven leader in the
planning, design, and construction of major transportation,
economic development, and waterfront projects across the Southeast.
