AGE ENGINEERING SERVICES INC

What AGE ENGINEERING SERVICES INC does

AGE Engineering Services, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering and land surveying firm headquartered in Stanford, Kentucky, founded in 1992 by Douglas Gooch and incorporated in 2004. The firm employs 33 staff including 7 licensed Civil Engineers, 5 licensed Surveyors, and 3 Engineers-in-Training (EITs), with professional licensure spanning Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Service delivery is organized around four core offerings: civil engineering design (highway/roadway, municipal, stormwater management, construction engineering), comprehensive land surveying (boundary, topographic, route, easement, construction staking, ALTA/ACSM), spatial imaging and 3D laser scanning (Trimble GXa since 2008 and TX5 systems), aerial LiDAR UAV surveying, and hydrographic/bathymetric surveying via Sea Floor Systems autonomous equipment. The firm's technical differentiation includes a proprietary web-based 3D point cloud viewer accessible through Google Chrome and early-mover specialization in 3D machine control modeling, with over 600 models delivered across five states.

The business operates as a project-based professional services firm serving three primary customer segments: government and municipal agencies (notably the US Army Corps of Engineers on the Wolf Creek Dam remediation and Lincoln County Fiscal Court on the US 127 sanitary sewer project), electric and gas utilities (American Electric Power, East Kentucky Power Coop, Kentucky Utilities, LG&E, Dominion Virginia Energy), and commercial developers (notably Stake 'n Shake restaurant chain with four repeat design packages). Distribution is direct, via competitive bidding, contract awards, and long-term client relationships, with no disclosed pricing model beyond project-based engagements. Marketing is primarily driven by the firm's project portfolio website, blog posts highlighting completed work, and social sharing channels. The company shows no evidence of external investment, private equity ownership, or public listing, operating as a founder-controlled firm under Douglas Gooch's ownership.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Civil Engineering Provides civil site design, highway and roadway design, municipal engineering, stormwater management and treatment, construction engineering, and permitting for non-coal mining operations including limestone quarries. Designed for government agencies and commercial developers requiring infrastructure planning and design services.
• Surveying / Geospatial Imaging Comprehensive land surveying services including route surveys, utility parameter surveys, movement monitoring (dam monitoring), hydrographic/bathymetric surveys, easement surveys, subdivisions, topographic surveys, boundary surveys, ALTA/ACSM boundary surveys, spatial imaging, construction staking/layout, and flood elevation certificates. Designed for utility providers, government entities, and construction contractors.
• 3D Site Modeling for Machine Control Creates highly accurate 3D models for site, highway, and pipeline construction using Trimble Terramodel and Trimble Business Center. Models can be as large as 500 acres with vertical precision to 0.01 feet and include complete school campus models with steps, handicap ramps, and curb & gutter sections. Designed for construction contractors requiring 3D models for machine guidance.
• Aerial Surveying Uses LiDAR-capable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to capture aerial LiDAR survey data, providing 3D Point Cloud data from aerial platforms. Includes Digital Ortho Photos and Oblique Imagery capabilities. Capabilities include topographic surveys of large areas, forestry analysis, damage assessment, and as-built surveys. Designed for large-area topographic surveys and design professionals.
• Spatial Imaging (3D Scanning) 3D dimensional scanning services capturing millions of true-to-scale points on surfaces, with file sizes of 20+ Gigabytes. Applications include electrical substations, building facades, interior buildings, and streetscapes. Uses Trimble GXa Scanner (since 2008) and Trimble TX5 Spatial Imaging Scanner. Designed for utilities, building owners, and engineering professionals needing dense spatial data.
