Community Spotlight: Batture

Batture is a New Orleans-based civil engineering and land surveying firm that is committed to a social mission that serves the greater good. Their services aim to make people’s lives better with well-designed infrastructure, potable water, sanitary sewers, drainage, roadways, and sidewalks. Bob More and Jenny Snape, the owners of Batture, met while working with the New Orleans chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Thus, Batture was founded on a shared desire to give back. To this day, they practice with community work as an integral part of their philosophy, where paid projects and pro bono projects are held with equal importance and priority. Batture’s impact is as follows:

Batture has worked on projects ranging from City Park bank stabilization to the Mirabeau Garden stormwater management and flood mitigation to the St. Anthony green streets. During last year’s LoveYourCity Awards, Batture was a presenting sponsor and was incredibly enthusiastic about doing whatever they could to contribute to community wellness and improvement. We are excited to have Batture sponsor us in next year’s LYC awards and have hopes of working together on projects that focus on the greater good.
