Schnabel Engineering brings more than 50 years
of experience and expertise to your projects.

Jim Schnabel Schnabel Engineering's experience dates back more than half a century to 1956, when Jim Schnabel, our founder, established one of the first firms in the Mid-Atlantic to offer services in "soil mechanics engineering."

Today Schnabel Engineering, with our subsidiary LACHEL FELICE & Associates, Inc. (LF&A), is an energetic and dynamic, employee-owned company offering professional services within the United States and abroad from our 20 offices throughout the continental United States. While we look forward to working with new clients throughout the public and private sectors, most of our projects are performed for satisfied clients with whom we have long, well-established relationships.

Since our earliest days, Schnabel Engineering has been dedicated to exceeding client expectations so that once we've attracted a client, we keep them. We strive to help our clients achieve their project goals, continually honing our ability to deliver quality work that gives our clients added value: a mutually rewarding project experience.
