What Heath & Lineback Engineers does

Heath & Lineback Engineers, Inc. is a Marietta, Georgia-based civil and structural engineering firm founded in 1994, operating as a subsidiary of BCC Engineering and currently on track to become an indirect subsidiary of Parsons Corporation following Parsons' October 2024 announced acquisition of BCC. The firm provides transportation infrastructure engineering services across nine core practices: bridge and structural design/inspection/maintenance, roadway design, multi-use trail planning and design, hydraulic and hydrologic studies, site design, water/wastewater/sewer design, design-build delivery, engineering during construction, and railroad/transit/automated people mover (APM) infrastructure design. Its technical work relies on conventional engineering methods including 1D and 2D hydraulic modeling for waterway crossing assessments and a hands-on field methodology for trail route selection that involves walking and staking key constraints on-site. The firm has delivered marquee projects including the 5th Runway bridge structure over I-285 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Tampa International Airport SkyConnect 1.3-mile APM, the $470 million Orlando International Airport south expansion APM station and ground transportation center, and the $38 million LEED Silver MARTA Brady Transit Facility.

Heath & Lineback serves a government-and-institutional customer base spanning federal, state, county, and municipal agencies alongside architectural firm partnerships. Documented clients include Cobb County, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Tampa International Airport, Orlando International Airport, MARTA, Forsyth County, the City of Sandy Springs, and the Atlanta BeltLine nonprofit. Project selection is qualifications- and price-based via competitive RFPs, and pricing is project-specific with no publicly disclosed rates.

The firm operates from four offices: its Marietta, Georgia headquarters, a Carrollton, Georgia office, a Savannah, Georgia office serving the coastal region, and an Easley, South Carolina office extending reach into the Upstate SC market. Headcount is in the 51–100 employee range. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven by direct business development with government agencies, partnership with architectural firms, and a professional-services marketing approach that uses the company website's project portfolio, news releases, and industry awards (notably PATH400's 2018 America's Transportation Awards win) to support future RFP positioning. Revenue is generated on a per-project professional services basis with no disclosed pricing or public financials.

• Multi-use Trail Planning & Design Trail project development using a hands-on field approach where planners and engineers walk the project and stake key constraints and features, avoiding side-long ground and respecting natural features such as rock outcrops, specimen trees, and view sheds. Award-winning practice (PATH400).
• Hydraulic/Hydrologic Studies One- and two-dimensional modeling techniques to assess bridge structure suitability for waterway crossings, evaluating geography, topography, and soil characteristics with regulatory compliance. Supports bridge and stormwater infrastructure projects.
• Site Design Civil site engineering including grading and drainage plans, stormwater management, sanitary sewer and utility plans, paving plans, erosion control, landscape plans, building foundation plans, and structural sections.
• Water / Wastewater / Sewer Design Water, wastewater, and stormwater conveyance design and operations as well as design of stormwater retention vaults focused on basin discharge improvements.
• Design-Build Services Permitting awareness, design expertise, and construction savvy for design-build projects, ranging from small to mega-size, with focus on contractor partner success and client satisfaction. Partner-led delivery model.
• Engineering During Construction On-site engineering support to conceive, develop, design, and detail solutions to construction challenges, including value engineering and contractor-proposed designs.
