Engineering innovation since 1975

Since 1975 Shoemaker & Haaland has provided design leadership in innovative structural, civil, site design and surveying. Our staff includes over 40 professionals practicing in 20 states and 4 Canadian provinces with expertise in structural engineering, civil engineering, and surveying. Our success is derived from an intrinsic talent to integrate diverse professional disciplines into a cohesive design team to successfully meet the unique challenges of each project in imaginative, artistic, and sustainable ways.

Shoemaker & Haaland is a values based, employee-owned company. Employees become an ESOP stockholder once employment requirements are met.

Haaland, P.E., L.S. joined the firm and opened our Cedar Rapids office and the name was changed to Shoemaker & Haaland Professional Engineers. In 1986, the Krebill Engineering Company was purchased and the Keokuk branch office was established.
