At Hendrick and Sons, we have over 70 combined years of professional roadway design experience, and close to 100 years of land surveying experience.  This page is here to let you know a little more about our business and our employees who have made this business a success.

Who We Are

R. Alan Hendrick, P.E., P.L.S.

Mr. Hendrick has over 20 years experience in design of transportation related facilities including city streets, state highways and airports, as well as designs of numerous bridges, both rural and urban, throughout the state of Oklahoma.  He is President of Robert B. Hendrick & Sons Co., Inc. and Engineer-In-Charge of the firm's Norman office established in 1986. 

Since returning to the firm in 1986, Alan has been involved in the preparation and submission of plans for urban and rural roadway projects.  These have included many intersection improvements and signalizations in Norman, Lawton, Durant and Duncan.

Alan's master of science specialty was in structural engineering, and before joining the firm he was heavily involved in the design of several major bridge structures in Oklahoma City including seven bridges on the Central Expressway, the 63rd Street bridge over the west bypass, and the two Memorial Road bridges over the Lake Hefner Parkway.

Alan has been a resident of Norman for all but three years since the fall of 1975 and is active in Norman community affairs.  He has been president of the Norman Rotary Club, serves on the board of the Norman Chamber of Commerce, and chairs the Chamber's Transportation Committee.

Mr. Hendrick has worked on hundreds of miles of roadway projects in Oklahoma, including surveys, design, and supervision of construction for the Will Rogers, Turner, and H.E. Bailey Turnpikes, and 18 miles of Interstate 40 in western Oklahoma.  He originally worked for the Oklahoma Highway Department and then entered into private practice some 40 years ago.

Our Business

For fifty years, Hendrick & Sons has always been a family affair.  Hendrick and Hendrick Engineers was founded fifty years ago in 1957.  Then in 1975, Robert B. Hendrick, a 1950 graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, founded Robert B. Hendrick and Sons and took over Hendrick and Hendrick Engineers.  In the 50 years since the founding of Hendrick and Hendrick Engineers, four of Robert B. Hendrick's sons followed his lead in obtaining Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Oklahoma.  They then proceeded on to Master of Science degrees in Civil Engineering.  In addition to private engineering consulting, two sons have taught eleven courses in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, and research findings have been published in the American Institute of Steel Construction Engineering Journal. 

Alan Hendrick has since taken over for his father as president of the firm, and he has continued his father's legacy of quality.
