Hiring an Engineer for Construction Oversight Services


BUSTAMANTE STAFF • February 2, 2021

Don't Let a Small Defect Cause Big Problems Down the Road

To ensure that the best-laid plans become the best-constructed projects, qualified engineering professionals are often asked to provide oversight on construction projects. They verify for the client that a project is being completed as planned. Clients are best served by having a construction oversight project manager that is independent from the contractor and retained directly by the client to ensure their best interests. Our staff of experts can provide comprehensive construction monitoring services to deliver a project that meets specifications, is more cost effective and solves problems before they impact the project.

  • Quality Assurance & Control – The project manager reports on the overall quality of the project and oversees the status of progress and costs to complete the project.
  • Problem Identification - While onsite, the technician can establish a punch list of incomplete and/or deficient items.

Culvert Replacement Project Made Possible with Assistance from PENNVEST
By BUSTAMANTE ENGINEERS Staff August 20, 2024
The BUSTAMANTE ENGINEERS Inc. project that we are highlighting this month is CMP pipes that deteriorated and caused a portion of the pipe to collapse, and the necessary funding to complete the project. These four pipes were initially installed to allow for an existing creek to continue flowing underneath a roadway. The project was pertinent as one of the four had already collapsed and the remainder of the pipes were in a similar disrepair. The cost of replacing the 400 linear feet of pipe was a significant undertaking but made possible with the assistance in the form of a loan received from Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST).
