Welcome PennDOT


Serving PennDOT Around the Commonwealth


Over the years, Erdman Anthony has been one of PennDOT's leading consultants for both design and construction inspection services. We continue to win repeat contracts with districts throughout the state who have been satisfied with our schedule and budget performance. Our knowledge of PennDOT design standards has led to design management and review assignments in three PennDOT districts. In addition, our wealth of construction inspection experience provides a field-informed approach to constructability that many other consultants cannot offer.


Pittsburgh Office

In March of 2009, Erdman Anthony opened its Pittsburgh office, which provides us with more convenient access to projects in western Pennsylvania and additional bridge design expertise. Our Pittsburgh team complements the staff in our Harrisburg area office, who include more than 30 technical personnel focusing specifically on transportation engineering.

Your Schedule, Our Commitment 

Reducing schedules in both the design and construction phases is even more critical now to project success. Strong schedule performance stretches available funding and helps meet the dire need to increase capacity and improve safety on the state's highway system. As PennDOT's business partner facing this reality, Erdman Anthony has reacted by adapting its practices to better meet this need. Our staff includes an internal open plan scheduling specialist who has helped PennDOT track recent projects in District 8-0 and who now tracks internal delivery schedules using the same skill set. We have modified our project delivery methods for a variety of recent projects, using services such as:
  • modified turnkey design
  • design management and review services
  • construction phase design
  • conceptual design for department force construction
Above all, we have a staff that has successfully managed and completed hundreds of design and design review work orders in recent years under open end agreements in five different PennDOT districts. Erdman Anthony has proven its ability to meet the quick turnaround required by such projects. We are committed to continuing to improve our performance in this critical area, and to being a trusted partner for PennDOT when situations demand the highest level of responsiveness.

The Accelerated Bridge Program, Round 2

With the current transportation program in Pennsylvania focused on small bridges, Erdman Anthony looks forward to applying its experiences from the first phase of the Accelerated Bridge Program to future projects requiring similar expertise. We have the experienced staff, the organizational structure, and the commitment to schedule that will help PennDOT meet its project objectives.
