What Centurion Planning and Design does

Centurion Planning & Design, LLC is a Texas-registered civil engineering, planning, and surveying firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Angelo, Texas. The company delivers six integrated service lines — Aviation Planning & Engineering, Transportation Infrastructure, Land Development & Site Planning, Surveying & Mapping, Construction Services, and Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) — to airports, state departments of transportation, municipalities, and private developers. It also offers Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) services to support grant positioning and 10-year infrastructure planning for smaller communities. Named clients include Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, TxDOT, the City of San Angelo, and Angelo State University.

The firm's technical stack centers on geospatial data capture and digital modeling. Core technologies include drone and terrestrial LiDAR scanning (sub-centimeter accuracy), GPS/GIS integration, 3D digital twin creation for infrastructure visualization, and AI-enhanced surveying analysis applied to topographic mapping, predictive maintenance modeling, and cloud-based geospatial data storage. The SUE practice performs utility designating (Quality Levels B–D), utility locating (Quality Level A), coordination, and conflict analysis. Operations span nine office and materials testing facilities across Texas (San Angelo, Midland, Amarillo, Lubbock, Grapevine), Colorado (Denver), Florida (Orlando), and New Hampshire (Manchester), with engineering licensure in 14 states.

Centurion operates as a project-based professional services firm. Revenue is generated through negotiated contracts and RFP responses from government agencies, airports, municipalities, and private developers, with no publicly disclosed pricing or fixed rate cards. The firm is WBE, SBE, and DBE certified, TxDOT pre-certified in multiple work categories, and recognized by the FAA and AASHTO, providing access to small-business set-aside and federally funded infrastructure contracts. GTM motion is enterprise field sales supplemented by industry event participation (including Airport Consultants Council membership), content marketing via blog and industry publications, and direct outreach to public agencies.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Kimley-Horn: Large national planning/engineering consultancy with aviation, transportation, land development, and survey practices; competes for many of the same airport, DOT, and developer RFPs as Centurion, but with vastly larger headcount and geographic reach.
• Burns & McDonnell: Employee-owned engineering, architecture, and construction firm with significant aviation, transportation, and government infrastructure practices; competes with Centurion on large aviation and federal infrastructure pursuits.

Direct peers

• RS&H: National employee-owned AEC firm with deep aviation planning, airfield design, and transportation practices; Centurion has already subcontracted to RS&H on the Concho Valley spaceport feasibility study, indicating direct overlap in FAA-compliant airport work.
• Garver: Mid-sized infrastructure firm with FAA-recognized airport planning, transportation, and water/wastewater practices serving state DOTs and municipalities in the South and Midwest; highly comparable in service mix and client type to Centurion.
• Mead & Hunt: Planning and engineering firm with a dedicated aviation group providing airport master planning, airfield design, and environmental documentation; directly comparable to Centurion's aviation planning and engineering service line.
• Halff Associates: Texas-headquartered engineering and planning firm covering transportation, water, land development, and survey; competes head-to-head with Centurion on TxDOT, municipal, and private developer work across Texas.
• Woolpert: Architecture, engineering, and geospatial firm with strong LiDAR, GIS, and surveying capabilities serving aviation, transportation, and government clients; comparable in survey/mapping technology depth and federal-civil infrastructure focus.

Regional players

• Freese and Nichols: Texas-headquartered engineering firm with strong municipal water, transportation, and planning practices competing for the same TxDOT and Texas-city RFPs as Centurion, though primarily Texas-regionally focused.

Emerging players

• C & S Companies: Mid-size engineering and surveying firm serving aviation, municipal, and private developer clients across the Eastern U.S.; comparable service profile including SUE and surveying, though with smaller geographic overlap into Texas.
• WGI: Multi-disciplinary engineering, surveying, and geospatial firm with airport planning and land development practices; similar in scale and service breadth to Centurion, expanding nationally.
