Our History

ILSI has maintained a steady performance record since it was founded almost two decades ago. Five years ago, the founder’s daughter Iam C. Tucker assumed the role of the President and CEO, with a firm resolve to provide the same high-level services our New Orleans civil engineering company is known for.

The ILSI team is composed of professionals who bring to the table decades of valuable experience in the fields of civil engineering, structural engineering, water and sewer design, stormwater management, program and construction management, and infrastructure, which includes road and highway design.

Our Portfolio

As one of Louisiana’s most reputable civil engineering consultants, we have played an essential role in the completion of numerous projects, including the following:

*ILSI provided engineering services for the Southeast Louisiana (SELA) Urban Flood Control Project in New Orleans. In connection with our work for the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board (S&WB), we were contracted to provide construction and program management for the SELA program.

Responsibilities included creating feasibility studies and alternative analyses, designing hydrologic and hydraulic models, producing hydraulic and structural designs, handling utility relocations, generating cost estimates, coming up with public involvement programs, and delivering inspection services.

For S&WB, ILSI also provided engineering, construction management, and inspection services for the Waterline Replacement Program. ILSI was responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals regarding government utilities affected by the project.

*ILSI teamed with CH2MHILL in Baton Rouge to work on a $1Billion Sewer Rehabilitation Program. The project’s scope involved the rehabilitation of included more than 5,500,000 linear feet of gravity sewer pipe, including 20,000 utility holes.
