Before a building goes vertical, everything below it has to line up.

Our team recently scanned the foundation and piers for a new 25-story hotel in downtown Nashville, providing QA/QC data to help verify accuracy before the next phase of construction begins.

Accuracy starts from the ground up.

Congratulations to Trevor Teague on graduating from ACEC Tennessee’s Leadership PE program!

Over the last few months, Trevor had the opportunity to learn alongside engineering professionals from across the state, gaining valuable insight into leadership, advocacy, and the role engineers play in shaping Tennessee’s communities. The program wrapped up with its final session at the State Capitol, where participants got a closer look at the legislative process and the importance of staying engaged in issues that impact the engineering industry.

We are proud to have Trevor representing L.I. Smith & Associates and continuing to grow as a leader in our profession. Congratulations, Trevor!
