SCJ Alliance | Serving clients and communities with engineering, transportation planning & design, urban & environmental planning, landscape architecture, and public outreach.

What can SCJ do for you?

Engineering

There’s nothing simple about transforming undeveloped land into a completed project. It takes vision, tenacity, and commitment. Let’s make your vision a reality.

Transportation

There are many ways to move people and goods. Our transportation planners and engineers thrive on those unique opportunities. They’re wicked smart and creative to boot!

Planning

Developing the big picture requires expert knowledge of the pieces. In the beginning the solution may not be clear, but with careful assembly of those pieces, the answer reveals itself.

Landscape Architecture

Great design enhances your experience where you live, work and play. Let us transform your environment with right-sized solutions customized for your site.

Cable-Propelled Transit

In steep terrain and dense urban settings, the use of cable-propelled transit (think gondolas!) is on the rise. SCJ is leading the way with this efficient, cost-effective solution.
