Krieger & Stewart was founded in 1971 by Robert A. Krieger and Julian D. Stewart. Since our founding, we have provided civil and environmental engineering consulting services to numerous public agency clients throughout California, including cities, counties, redevelopment agencies, water and wastewater agencies, community services districts, parks and recreation districts, airport districts, and school districts. As a result of a corporate decision made by our founders, we have concentrated throughout the firm's history on providing engineering services to public agencies rather than private developers, thus enabling us to avoid potential conflicts of interest in serving public agency clients. We currently employ about 50 people, including 13 registered civil engineers, three licensed land surveyors, and a supporting staff of graduate engineers, designers, drafters, secretaries, surveyors, engineering technicians and construction inspectors. Our principals and senior engineers are not just managers, but are always directly involved in the details of each of the projects they oversee to ensure that our clients are provided with the benefit of their experience and expertise.
