Full-service engineering and architecture, built on service and stewardship

Wholly owned by the Pokagon Band since 2019, WBK is honored to serve tribal organizations. We are designing and repairing roadways, solving long-standing water drainage and flooding issues, assessing school facilities, engaging in community planning, and developing site plans for health clinics, community centers, schools, and government buildings.

WBK is increasingly partnering with federal agencies including the USACE, VHA, BIA, and NPS. Key to this work is our site planning and transportation design capabilities, as well as our water and environmental resources expertise. From trail system rehabilitation to dam assessments to ecosystem restoration, our federal past performance record is filled with projects that protect the earth.

Foundational to WBK from the beginning, our municipal and civil engineering team is honored by its long-term relationships with townships, cities, and counties. Often working as an extension of our client team, we are partners in creating and maintaining municipal site, utility, and stormwater infrastructure.

The transportation team at WBK Engineering are specialists in designing and permitting roadway reconstruction and rehabilitation projects, from local roads to complex highways. Whether we are modeling traffic, analyzing alternatives, designing roundabouts, or overseeing construction, we keep things moving.

Working with Bodwé transportation and water resource engineers, our structural team embraces their responsibility for human safety and for the protection of natural ecosystems. We understand the dynamics between built structures and potential impacts to people and planet. We design efficient, effective, and durable solutions that fit the context of the community and environment.

With recognized industry expertise in stormwater and flooding as well as natural riverine and manmade conveyance, Bodwé provides waterways analyses, flood studies, dam improvement and removal, and stormwater management design. And with every project, our team takes responsibility for protecting communities and natural ecosystems.

For decades, WBK Engineering has partnered with municipalities and private clients in northeast Illinois to improve infrastructure and create community. As part of Bodwé, today our planning and development work crosses the country, serving local, federal and Indigenous clients as well, with an approach that integrates people, place, and planet.
