History

Established in 1979.

Civil Engineer, Steve Lett and Land Surveyor, Charlie Miller started Tri-​State Engineering (TSE) working nights and weekends. At first, TSE primarily completed surveying projects for municipalities and private residential developers in the Joplin, Mo area. As the firm grew, engineering needs began to grow and both private and public clients sought TSE for engineering and surveying roadways, water and wastewater systems, hydrology and drainage, site planning and development. Today, TSE employs 26 professionals and staff to continue serving the Joplin region.
