Infrastructure
SOCOTEC brings expert guidance and trusted solutions across the Infrastructure sector, addressing complex challenges with innovative solutions for public and private facilities.
From planning and design to construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation, our multidisciplinary teams work across the U.S. to meet the complex needs of infrastructure development with a focus on safety, sustainability, and long-term performance.
We support clients across a wide range of civil and urban infrastructure systems including roads, bridges, tunnels, public spaces, utilities infrastructure, and more. Our teams understand the regional, technical, financial, and regulatory realities of infrastructure development, whether for small municipal improvements or large-scale national projects.
Comprehensive Services for the Infrastructure
Integrity
Addressing Aging Infrastructure and Deferred Maintenance
Much of the U.S. infrastructure was built decades ago and is facing accelerated deterioration. Safety risks, service interruptions, and soaring maintenance costs are becoming more frequent, especially for bridges, tunnels, highways, electrical grids and dams. Reliable inspection and timely remediation are important to maintaining safe and functional systems.
SOCOTEC supports the longevity and integrity of critical infrastructure systems through expert evaluation and testing:
- Structural inspections and condition assessments
- Construction materials testing (CMT)
- Industrial hygiene and environmental testing
- Rehabilitation and remediation planning
- Lifecycle analysis and durability modeling
- Project advisory and construction planning
- Risk-based asset management programs

Project Management
Navigating Through Financial and Regulatory Constraints
Infrastructure development often faces tight governmental budgets, complex permitting processes, and evolving local and federal codes, which can delay essential upgrades or expansions. Public-private partnerships (P3s) and limited municipal funding require innovative delivery models, strong governance, and detailed planning. Successfully advancing projects under these conditions requires expert coordination, risk management, and a deep understanding of both technical and regulatory landscapes.
SOCOTEC helps navigate financial, regulatory, and planning challenges efficiently with:
- Project management and delivery
- Code compliance consulting (safety, industrial hygiene, zoning, environment, etc.)
- Entitlements and permitting support
- Budget optimization and cost control
- Owner’s representative and third-party reviews
- Troubled project turnaround
- Value engineering to optimize project costs
- Due diligence for infrastructure investments
- Scheduling review and maintenance
- Risk management and integrity monitoring
- Claims evaluation, review, and preparation

Environment
Facing Climate Change with Resilient Infrastructure
With increasing climate risks, infrastructure must now be adaptive, resilient, and designed to perform under extreme conditions. Rising seas, extreme heat, and heavy rainfall are straining infrastructure—from Florida’s coastal roads to desert cities’ utilities in Nevada and aging stormwater systems in the Northeast. These evolving threats make climate adaptation a critical priority, requiring forward-thinking design, risk mitigation planning, and sustainable engineering solutions to protect both assets and communities.
SOCOTEC enhances your project sustainability, adaptability, and long-term performance with:
- Energy and sustainability consulting for infrastructure systems
- Resilience and risk mitigation planning
- Flood resilience and stormwater management solutions
- Carbon footprint analysis and reduction strategies
- Circularity and building materials reuse
- Environmental impact assessments
- Sustainable project certification
- Remediation and environmental consulting
