Introduction Approach & Methodology
Robayna and Associates, Inc.’s philosophy since it was founded has been that there are two thing
that must be primary to our design, a) the quality of our work product must be the best possible
under the restrains of the project requirements and b) the client is the most important member of
our design team and as such his desires and requirements must be taken into consideration and
implemented within the design parameters.
We have combined this primary philosophy with our 31-years of experience plus the accumulated
knowledge of our entire staff. We have been involved with governmental infrastructure projects
as well as land development and private projects since our inception. Our involvement with
projects requiring multiple disciplines have increased our awareness of the importance of project
coordination and observance of schedules from the beginning to end of any project.
Whether it is the design of roadways, bridges, buildings, drainage systems, sewage collection
system, or water resource projects, Robayna and Associates, Inc. has the necessary civil
engineering capabilities. We emphasize the importance of good initial data to achieve successful
projects. Robayna and Associates, Inc., takes pride in its ability to develop engineering solutions
within budget to satisfy our client’s needs. These solutions are implemented within our frame of
services, which emphasizes technical innovation and high competence always coordinated with
our client’s staff.
Software changes, new equipment and technology are key issues to be addressed in a regular
basis to assure our technical competence. We constantly update our software and equipment to
maintain up-to-date technology. Our professionals attend seminars and training sessions to
increase knowledge and current competence.
The ever-increasing regulatory environment requires that our professionals maintain a current
level of knowledge and involvement on today’s issues. Sewer capacity, water supply availability,
water quality, handicapped requirements, wetland regulations, stormwater management, pollution
control and other environmental issues requires constant review and awareness of codes as well
as new technological changes. Our firm has always been, thru involvement in the regulatory
process, part of engineering and industry organizations, and have subscribed to the philosophy
that “No man is an island in his profession”. Our professionals keep in touch with the agencies
that create the rules that regulate our profession and stay current with knowledge of the regulatory
changes.
