What Atlas Engineering Group does

Atlas Engineering Group, Ltd. (AEG) is a privately held consulting engineering and land surveying firm founded in 2007 by Natalia N. Homedi, PE and Eyad Homedi, PE, MD, headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois with a second office in downtown Chicago. The firm delivers ten coordinated service lines — Structural Engineering, Construction Management, Transportation, Rail & Transit, Land Surveying, Traffic Data Collection, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Stormwater Management, Traffic Engineering, and Aviation — through the standard three-phase public-infrastructure delivery model (Phase I planning/environmental, Phase II design/PS&E, Phase III construction inspection).

AEG's technology stack is composed of industry-standard civil engineering software (Synchro, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, XPSWMM, SCAT, Intersection Magic) and conventional field hardware (Miovision Scout cameras, HiStar NC300 magnetic counters, IRD tube counters, robotic GPS/GNSS survey instruments); the firm has developed a proprietary three-step QA/QC process for traffic data collection that enables high-volume counts (100+ two-lane counts per crew, twice weekly; 8,700–9,900 24-hour counts completed for IDOT Districts One and Two). The firm pioneered the first FAA-certified warm-mix asphalt project using recycled roof shingles on the O'Hare Taxiway ZS, earning a Green Airplane Certification from the Chicago Department of Aviation.

AEG generates revenue on a professional-services, project-fee basis through government contracting processes, serving as both prime consultant and subconsultant. The firm is prequalified with IDOT, Illinois Tollway, InDOT, WisDOT, and the City of Chicago, and holds Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certifications that enable prime and subcontractor access to diversity set-aside programs. Revenue is essentially fully exposed to Illinois public-sector infrastructure spending, with key customers including IDOT, Illinois Tollway, Chicago Department of Aviation (O'Hare), CTA, Metra, Cook County DOT, Kane County DOT, and the Village of Northbrook, plus a limited institutional presence (Northwestern University). Named project engagements include the $16.3M O'Hare 90-inch water main relocation (which achieved $12.9M in construction cost savings), the $6.6M North Branch Bike Trail Extension, the $20.4M Congress Parkway Improvement, and the $26.9M Chicago-Halsted Viaduct replacement.
