Mr. Adewale formed ABNA Engineering in 1994 after an exemplary 10 year experience with the Illinois DOT as a project manager for major roadway and bridge construction projects. As a licensed professional engineer in Illinois and Missouri, he has managed both design and construction projects on transportation, water/waste water infrastructure and routinely manages multiple projects related to site design and construction. Mr. Adewale has overall management responsibility for the operations of the firm in addition to his direct management involvement of various projects. A small sampling of projects is listed below. He is also responsible for bid preparation, proposals, contract negotiation, and client interface.

Nicole has 12 years of experience in planning, surveying and engineering. Prior to forming ABNA Engineering she performed key roles in projects of different sizes in Southern Illinois. Currently Nicole is responsible for managing and supporting all planning projects and has led efforts to emphasize the use of GIS in the management and production of planning deliverables. She also lends support to various engineering projects usually in the areas of technical specifications. In addition to her direct involvement with the projects listed below, she is also responsible for marketing, bid preparation, contract negotiation, and EEO compliance. Seeing a need in certain segments of the community to promote careers in science, Nicole formed strategic alliances between ABNA and the Science Center, NSBE, and a national sorority. In this capacity she helps organize major events at the science center and works with community groups to help break down barriers to technology.
