About Royal

We Do More Than Simply “Our Job.”

How it Began

The vision for Royal started with two young engineers working together in the industry with a belief they could do it better than it had been done before ─ better for clients, better for employees, and better for communities. From that initial vision, Royal brought its distinctive brand of engineering and consulting to the Gulf Coast in 2005, establishing its headquarters in New Orleans. Soon after opening, Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, and Royal quickly became immersed in recovery efforts, developing niche expertise in the unique challenges of recovery and rebuilding from natural disasters and coastal land loss.

Founded with a culture focused on innovative solutions and dedication to our community, Royal quickly expanded from our initial services of Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Program Management, and Disaster Recovery to meet new challenges head on, with Coastal Engineering, Coastal Planning & Science, Structural Engineering, Architecture, Environmental Compliance, and Grants Management becoming key services in Royal’s portfolio. Now, after nearly two decades in business, we continue to strive to be our clients’ first call in the face of complex challenges.

Our Greatest Asset

The Royal team collectively shares varied skillsets, unique backgrounds, and a vast range of experience to support a myriad of projects and initiatives. Our unifying factor is that the work we do matters and creates significant impact in the world around us.

Excellence is built into every interaction we have ─ with each other and our clients ─ and into every effort and project we deliver.

Results Driven

We strive to set the bar against which others are measured ─ the Royal Standard. If you have needs that fall within any of our service lines, please contact us. We stand ready to provide customized, cutting-edge solutions backed by outstanding leadership and management from Royal’s hands-on executive team and dynamic staff.

Our Disaster Response & Recovery team takes advantage of “blue sky days” to get a head start on planning for storm season!

We recently held a planning session led by Catherine Bordelon – RoyalVue Team Lead, Ron Mitchell – Sr. Project Manager, and Brittany St. Pierre – Sr. Project Coordinator. Their deployment history, combined with hands-on experience working with our clients, contractors, and mutual aid responders, gives this group a unique perspective. They understand what’s needed in the field to meet rigorous State and Federal requirements while also maximizing productivity on the ground.
