TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

The nation moves and thrives on its vast network of highways and bridges. Agricultural products must be delivered from farm to market - industrial and commercial products must be transported from factory to consumer - people must be provided with transportation facilities for ease of movement from home to work and to play.

Schwab-Eaton has played a part in the design of important segments in the great highway system of America. Projects span a range of highway uses from local roads and bridges for cities and counties to major State and Interstate highway and bridge projects.

A couple of Schwab-Eaton's first major projects included highway designs for an eleven mile stretch of dual-lane highway in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky - rugged and challenging, the location and design surveys were completed on schedule. Equally tough and demanding was a design project in the Republic of Panama - a 40 mile stretch of pioneer highway through the upper reaches of the Darien Jungle. The Owner of this project was the Panamanian government and the Engineer was a joint venture by the principals of Schwab-Eaton and San-Ore of McPherson, Kansas. From those early projects, Schwab-Eaton has continued to thrive and excel on transportation projects.

As the highways of America expand to meet the needs of our people, Schwab-Eaton will meet the challenge of this expansion.
