About Us

At
DEI, our goal is to look beyond the ordinary and create motivated
design solutions backed by solid technical performance. We strive to
exceed our clients’ expectations. Formed in 1984,
Design Engineering, Inc. made a commitment in meeting this goal to
produce top-quality projects that our clients deserve. DEI
strongly believes in doing more than just offering its professional
consulting services to business, community, and government. A
routine approach does not serve the clients’
best interests.
DEI
regularly develops innovative methods to ensure client satisfaction
by involving them in the processes and consulting with them on
their specific needs throughout every phase of the project. DEI
has also implemented a Quality Assurance Program that meets state
and federal requirements along with our client’s needs. In using a
set of internal checks and balances, clients are assured that design
schedules are established, progress is monitored, feedback is
collected, and all project specifications are properly met.
While
meeting clients’ stated goals and objectives, DEI’s ability to
successfully work with government entities from the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers to U.S. Fishery and Wildlife Service to the Louisiana
Department of Transportation and Development to cities and major
public agencies, goes unmatched.
DEI promises to bring
together our experience and knowledge combined with our client’s vision to attain our goal at
every level.
Technology
DEI’s
state-of-the-art engineering is made faster and more accurate by
using the latest in advanced technology.
Our
Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CAD/D) capabilities assist to
create meticulous plans and resolve design problems by affording our
staff the opportunity to easily investigate numerous alternatives.
Engineering and drafting plans are not the only
areas where computers play a vital role in our success. We also
develop well-sophisticated, customized computer programs to complete
specialized projects more quickly and ensure that clients’
specific concerns are addressed. With these programs, DEI can offer
information in precise detail, regardless of the project size or the
extent of our company’s involvement in the design or engineering
phases.
Our
Staff
DEI
is equipped with highly trained technical and advisory personnel to
provide consultant services and assure expeditious handling of any
project. We build outstanding working relationships with
everyone connected. DEI has the ability to coordinate
work with numerous professional firms, the federal government, and
the client. This means smooth interaction with a dynamic
group of professionals who are sensitive to both the project’s
needs and those of the community.
DEI
has many diverse capabilities that attest to the wide-ranging
experience of our staff. They have designed airports and
arenas, wharves and docks, recreational areas and parks,
entertainment centers and warehouse conversions. They have planned
and engineered major flood control projects, levees and erosion
control systems, water distribution systems and major sewerage force
mains, in addition to roadways and bridges. They have
developed software for startup ventures, enterprises, and
proprietary users.
