Background & Profile
Arceneaux & Gates Consulting
Engineers, Inc. is a Texas-based multidisciplined civil engineering firm
located in Port Arthur, Texas . Since
1988, the firm has provided engineering study, consulting, planning, design,
surveying, and construction management services to governmental agencies,
industrial corporations, municipalities and private concerns in Southeast Texas
and Southwest Louisiana. It is the philosophy of Arceneaux & Gates that
quality is always the result of intelligent direction, skilled execution, and a
continuing commitment to excellence.
During the planning and execution of our project assignment, our staff
of specialists is supported by state-of-the-art computer, automated plotting and
field equipment.
Project
Team
The project team realizes that effective management
and clear lines of communication are fundamental to any successful
endeavor. The management framework must
ensure that the Client is fully informed and involved in all key
decisions. Also, the management
structure must consider quality control in all elements of a project
assignment.
ARCENEAUX &
GATES utilizes a strong project manager approach on all assignments. The project manager is responsible for
directing the project through its various phases of completion via timely
communication with Client representatives and team members. Specifically, the project manager provides
technical supervision, assures project planning is accomplished, establishes
internal team assignments, and provides day-to-day direction and control of the
team. When we are chosen as the
engineering firm of record for project assignments, our Clients can be assured
that all planning, design, and construction phase engineering services will be
closely coordinated to ensure the design effort meets the Client's objectives,
as well as all regulatory requirements.
As the firm's Principal Engineer, RON ARCENEAUX, P.E.,
P.L.S. is active in all phases of our project work to
ensure that the goals of the project are met with timely actions based on sound
engineering principles. He has 24 years experience in the administration of
privately funded projects, and public works projects funded by State and
Federal agencies. Mr. Arceneaux has
participated as project engineer or project manager for projects funded by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT), the Economic Development Administration (EDA), the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), the Community Development Block Grant
Program, EPA Construction Grants Program, the Coastal Energy Impact Program,
Federal Highway Administration, the Texas General Land Office, and similar
State and Federal Agencies. Because of
the variety and depth of Mr. Arceneaux's expertise, he is fully aware of, and
understands the need for, careful project planning and coordination to
efficiently address the concerns of all involved.
JOE M. WILSON, JR., P.E. has a wide
range of design and construction management experience which enables him to
effectively assist the design team with constructability reviews, as well as to
participate in the preparation of projected construction cost estimates during
the initial planning and “design development” stages.
As the firm's Survey Coordinator, JOHN R. HODGES, R.P.L.S. directs the
data collection phase of our project assignments, thus providing the basis for
much of the plan preparation. Mr. Hodges
has an extensive background in topographic surveys, hydrographic surveys,
construction control surveys, and boundary surveys in the
Design
Team

Project
Continuity
It is the firm's depth of experience and creative
vision which afford us the ability to provide our projects with a continuity other
firms don’t always offer. An example of this continuity is demonstrated in the
firm's service to PARK
CENTRAL MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT.
Since 1979, the firm's principal has served as District Engineer,
overseeing a $15.5 million bond issue for the construction of public utilities
and drainage. Close management of the
District's resources has led to the successful development of a 2,000 acre
master planned community. In summary, ARCENEAUX & GATES has the
staff, resources, and depth of experience necessary to complete project
assignments timely, efficiently, within budget, and always with a continuing
commitment to excellence. The firm's
extensive experience in the management of public works projects, whether
self-funded, funded by bond issues, or by State or Federal grants, will ensure
that planning, design, bidding and contracting procedures follow all applicable
regulations.
