Best Engineering Firm: McClure Engineering Co.

According to McClure Engineering Co. President Paul Trombino III, one of the biggest projects for 2017’s Best Engineering Firm is building a strong presence in the Corridor. Although the firm is based in Des Moines, it has offices in North Liberty and Cedar Rapids, Mr. Trombino emphasized the importance of coordinating with area businesses and residents when carrying out their projects. “All lead project managers build strong relationships with the community and the leaders,” he said. “We accommodate the needs of people who live there.” McClure has previously been tapped for big Corridor projects such as the improvements to Highway 965 and the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort, and is currently working on a variety of projects in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. The firm focuses on what Mr. Trombino says is the foundation of any community: water infrastructure and transportation.
