The Engineering Services Bureau is the State of Iowa's agency which designs, in house or through consulting services, and oversees the construction projects for the Department after policies and programs have been created. We are very proud of our record and hope to share some of our pride with you.

From the smallest outhouse to the largest spillway construction project in Iowa, our professional staff provides and puts into practice the most advanced technology to ensure safe and cost effective solutions to architectural and engineering problems. We continually strive to provide the best products at the lowest cost to our ultimate customers; the Iowan taxpayers.

In addition, we hope that this site will be of help within the construction industry as a way to advertise our projects to interested contractors.
