The Middle East District’s design staff provides engineering and design assistance on a wide range of projects. For certain projects, we provide complete design services using our in-house staff. For other projects, we manage architect-engineer contracts or obtain services from other USACE offices. We also review contracted designs to ensure that they fully meet the customer’s requirements and are ready for the construction contract phase.

The Middle East District has registered professionals in the following disciplines: civil engineering, architecture, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, geotechnical engineering, and fire protection.

Our design staff is available to assist customers in developing new projects from beginning to completion, or to assist with repair or alteration projects.

The Middle East District provides project management services for both U.S. and host nation projects. Our program and project managers are a valuable resource in helping customers receive the maximum benefit from the services our organization provides. Project managers oversee each project throughout its life cycle and serve as the customer’s primary interface with District professionals, representing their interests and acting as their advocate.
The Middle East District ensures that contractors meet all technical, quality, and safety specifications on contracts. Our staff manages construction contracts, job order contracts, facility support services, life support, and operations and maintenance contracts. In addition, we provide construction surveillance on contracts awarded by host nations using agreed-upon standards.
