Government
Federal Government projects vary greatly as each contracting office has different regulations, expectations, and requirements. Our services range from full campus buildings and lodging to roadways and parking lots to building analysis and improvements.
Our team works with top secret agencies and understands the mission critical nature of the different facilities, as well as the sensitivity of the documents developed for design and construction for these projects. As we are often responsible for issuing documents for design, collaboration, or bidding purposes, the firm utilizes specific measures in the protection of documents.
Centers/Complexes
National Records Center
Frontenac Engineering provided civil engineering services and land surveying services for boundary, improvement, and topographic alta/acsm survey of 120-acre rural property for the New National Personnel Records Center. The National Archives and Records Administration working through the General Services Administration began the design of a new building for its National Personnel Records Center in 2007. The building features storage for over 80 million civilian and military personnel files, plus public research rooms, an archival preservation laboratory, public meeting rooms and staff offices. Design included strict standards for fire prevention, security, temperature and humidity control, and air filtration. The facility houses 600 employees.
The scope of this project consisted of relocation of the national archive records administration facility to a new state-of-the-art building. Site location, layout, and functionality were key design considerations on this project.
Client: Molasky Group of Companies
M.W. Boudreaux Recreation Center
Frontenac provided civil and structural engineering design of new 8000 s.f. visitor’s center and complex overlooking Mark Twain Lake. The project employed LEED© Gold equivalency on a fast track project schedule. The project included a comprehensive exhibit design integrated into a “Lodge Style” structure reflecting the natural setting overlooking Mark Twain Lake and Clarence Cannon Dam. The project included the construction of a new loop driveway extending from the existing parking lot that is to remain, relocation of the existing memorial and the construction of a new outdoor learning area/pavilion.

Transportation
Each transportation project presents a new unique set of working conditions and challenges. Our engineers assess the proposed conditions, develop several different solutions and options, and then work with the clients to develop the best course of action tailored to their budget.
Frontenac Engineering roadway and transportation projects utilize traffic studies and implementation of signalization, pavement markings, and roadway and streetscape improvements. Our scope of work includes topographic surveys, easements, roadway and streetscape design and construction documents, inducing drainage and utility relocations/adjustments. Many projects we have managed have been funded through state and federal funding.
Maplewood Streets
Frontenac Engineering provides daily construction engineering and inspection services for renovation of multiple city streets each year. Specific duties included review of all material and product submittals, daily material delivery tickets and material test results, maintenance of daily work log books, field measurement of work completed, daily inspection of curb removal and replacement, sidewalk and driveway removal and replacement, sewer inlet and manhole replacement and adjustment, pavement and pavement base removal and reconstruction, paving fabric installation, and right-of-way restoration, monthly review of pay applications and lien waivers, and final project closeout.
Leyman Plaza
Frontenac Engineering provided the civil engineering design for the pedestrian plaza that creates a gateway into the south side of Lemay in south St. Louis at the intersection of S. Broadway and Ripa Ave.
Lemay Plaza includes entry monument with benches and signage that builds an attractive urban space that shapes connections between two area schools. It boasts a curvilinear limestone landscape wall topped with sinker Cyprus form seating and a backdrop as well as a custom bus shelter and bicycle racks. Porous pavers formed the plaza surface and landscaped rain gardens enhanced stormwater management. The coordination involved the State Highway Dept, County Highway Dept and MSD.
