KC Engineering and Land Surveying, P.C.

KC Engineering and Land Surveying, P.C. is a New York engineering firm headquartered at 7 Penn Plaza in Manhattan, with offices in Newburgh and Albany. It offers civil, structural and geotechnical engineering, construction inspection and land surveying, mostly for public transportation owners. Its structural group handles bridge rehabilitation and replacement as well as new steel and concrete structures. The site doesn’t state a founding year or headcount. KC is the lead designer on Contract 6 of the I-81 Viaduct Project in Syracuse, the largest piece of the program, working for the CNY Alliance Six contracting team of A. Servidone, Rifenburg Construction and Economy Paving. Stantec and four other engineering firms are its subconsultants, according to KC’s own announcement.

Three offices and three phone numbers, which is how a transportation consultant covers New York State without pretending a single address works: 7 Penn Plaza, Suite 1204 in Manhattan at (212) 947-4945; 15 Governor Drive, Second Floor in Newburgh at (845) 931-2900, placed near Stewart Airport and the I-84 and I-87 interchange; and 100 Great Oaks Boulevard, Suite 122 in Albany at (518) 690-4020. The firm describes its coverage as the NY Metro area, the mid-Hudson Valley and the Albany area.

Staffing is published, which is unusual and useful: over 120 full-time professionals, with the About page’s narrative figure given as over 100 and the careers copy at over 120. Either way this is a mid-size firm with licensed professional engineers backed by engineers-in-training, and licensed professional land surveyors who the firm says have completed hundreds of surveys. Staff maintain current licensing and are encouraged into continuing education.

Six disciplines are offered: civil engineering, construction inspection, geotechnical engineering, land surveying, structural engineering, and design-build services. Geotechnical in house is the one to note — most inspection-led firms subcontract subsurface work, and keeping it internal shortens the loop between a boring log and a foundation decision.

The equipment investment is specific. The firm cites laser scanners that capture full roadway corridor detail with minimal impact on the traveling public, cutting field time roughly in half and producing detailed survey plans. For a DOT project, reduced lane closure time for survey is a real cost item, not a technical footnote.

Design-build is where the firm has put its recent visible work. It names Phase 2 Contract 6 of the NYSDOT I-81 Viaduct project as underway, a completed NYSTA cashless tolling design-build, and a completed NYSDOT D900034 design-build. Design-build on a state transportation program puts the engineer inside the contractor’s team with the schedule risk that implies, which is a different posture from traditional owner-side consulting.

On credentials, KC states membership in the American Council of Engineering Companies of New York. The firm describes itself as having provided services for over 40 years, though its About page header still reads over 35 years, and no founding year is published — worth clarifying directly if a precise date matters for a qualifications submission.
