What TREKK Design Group does

TREKK Design Group, LLC is a privately held civil engineering firm founded in 2002 by Kimberly and Trent Robinett and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The firm provides a full complement of infrastructure services — civil site design, transportation, structural, water resources, construction engineering and inspection, asset management and GIS, and power — to municipal and state government clients, water and wastewater utilities, airport authorities, and electric utilities across the Midwest and South. The firm operates from 11 offices in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, and Illinois with more than 230 employees, and holds Disadvantaged/Women-Owned Small Business (D/WOSB) and ISNetworld safety certifications.

TREKK has built a technology-enabled practice layered on top of traditional engineering services. Its proprietary products include the patented PreView sewer and storm surveillance monitoring system, which combines AI-driven time-lapse imagery with legacy flow, level, pressure, and water quality sensors for 24/7 anomaly detection; the TREKK360 panoramic underground inspection camera that captures 360-degree video and generates 3D models without confined-space entry; and a comprehensive LiDAR technology suite spanning aerial, mobile, SLAM, terrestrial, and hydrographic scanning. The firm also delivers grant writing services for transportation and infrastructure projects, with a reported 75% win rate and over $15 million secured for clients.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, on-call service agreements, and recurring technology-enabled monitoring contracts, primarily with government and municipal clients. Work is acquired via competitive proposals, RFP responses, and direct engagement with public-sector procurement officers. Major contract positions include the 25-year, $4.5B Kansas City Smart Sewer Program, the $1.5B KCI Airport Terminal Modernization, and the MoDOT I-44 Corridor Bridge Bundle design-build. In 2021 the firm acquired Access Engineering, and it continues to expand its office footprint, most recently announcing a Springfield, Missouri expansion in April 2026.
