Engineering Infrastructure That Connects Communities
Transforming public transportation requires more than visionary planning, it requires engineering solutions built to perform for decades. As the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) advances the Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, INNOVA is proud to have partnered with our client, GCW Engineering, to provide the structural engineering behind the project’s modern transit shelters.
Stretching through one of Las Vegas’ busiest transportation corridors, the Maryland Parkway BRT project will improve mobility by connecting key destinations including Harry Reid International Airport, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the Medical District, Downtown Las Vegas, and surrounding neighborhoods. Designed to provide faster, more reliable service, the corridor will enhance accessibility, improve pedestrian safety, and create a more connected community.
Engineering for Performance
Working in collaboration with our client, GCW Engineering, and the broader project team, INNOVA’s Assistant Project Manager, Shimshon Zeidman, led the structural engineering effort for the enhanced transit shelters installed at 44 locations along the Maryland Parkway corridor. Through close coordination and a shared commitment to excellence, the team transformed architectural concepts into durable, resilient structures designed to serve the community safely and reliably for decades to come.
Each shelter required thoughtful engineering that balanced architectural vision with structural performance, constructability, and long-term durability. Designed to withstand Southern Nevada’s demanding climate and the daily use of thousands of riders, the structures were engineered to provide reliable performance while complementing the project’s contemporary architectural design.
While the striking red architectural panels and clean modern lines create a memorable visual identity, the engineering behind each station provides the strength and resilience that will allow these facilities to serve the community safely and dependably for many years to come.
Engineering That Moves Communities Forward
Public infrastructure shapes the way people experience their communities every day. Projects like Maryland Parkway demonstrate how thoughtful structural engineering can enhance mobility, strengthen communities and improve quality of life.
At INNOVA, we believe exceptional infrastructure begins with thoughtful engineering. We are honored to have contributed to a project that will serve Southern Nevada for generations while helping our client deliver a transportation system that is functional, resilient, and built to last.
