We provide civil engineering design and permitting support to guide projects from concept through regulatory approval and construction. Our services address site development requirements while balancing functionality, constructability, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Our approach integrates site planning, grading, drainage, and utility coordination with permitting strategies to minimize approval timelines and reduce redesign during construction. We work closely with project stakeholders and authorities having jurisdiction to ensure designs align with municipal standards and environmental requirements.

Our civil engineering expertise supports a wide range of projects, including commercial, industrial, and infrastructure developments, with careful consideration of existing site conditions, access, stormwater management, and long-term site performance.

Our key deliverables include:

Site Layout & Grading Plans

A successful project starts with a smart and sustainable site plan. We specialize in creating detailed site layouts and grading plans that form the foundation of your development. This service is crucial for optimizing land use, ensuring proper drainage, and minimizing earthwork costs.

Conceptual and Detailed Site Layouts
We design the optimal placement of buildings, parking lots, access roads, and green spaces to maximize functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Earthwork Analysis
Our team performs cut-and-fill calculations to balance soil volumes on-site, significantly reducing the costs associated with hauling dirt off-site or bringing new fill material in.

Precise Grading Plans
We create plans that ensure positive drainage away from structures, prevent erosion, and comply with all local accessibility (ADA) requirements for slopes and walkways.

Stormwater & Drainage Design

Effective stormwater management is critical for protecting your property and the surrounding environment. We design robust and compliant stormwater and drainage systems that manage water runoffs effectively, prevent flooding, and meet local and federal regulations.

Effective stormwater management is critical for protecting your property and the surrounding environment. We design robust and compliant stormwater and drainage systems that manage water runoffs effectively, prevent flooding, and meet local and federal regulations.

Hydrology and Hydraulics Analysis
We conduct thorough studies to determine runoff characteristics and design systems capable of handling storm events of various magnitudes.

Drainage System Design
This includes the design of surface drains, underground pipe networks, culverts, and channels to efficiently convey water away from critical areas.

Stormwater Management Facilities
We design solutions like detention/retention ponds, bioretention areas, and underground storage systems to manage runoff quantity and improve water quality before it leaves your site.

Roadway & Parking Design

Safe and efficient access is key to any development. Our team designs roadways and parking facilities that ensure smooth traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and long-term durability, all while adhering to local zoning and transportation standards.

Parking Lot Layout
We design efficient parking layouts that maximize space, ensure safe vehicle and pedestrian circulation, and comply with ADA requirements.

Access Road and Driveway Design
Our designs focus on safe intersection sight distances, appropriate turning radii for service and emergency vehicles, and logical traffic flow.

Pavement Design
We provide detailed designs for pavement sections (asphalt or concrete) based on soil conditions and expected traffic loads to ensure a long service life.

Retaining Wall & Foundation Details

When your project involves challenging topography or complex structures, robust structural support is non- negotiable. We provide detailed engineering for retaining walls and foundations to ensure stability and safety for the long term.

When your project involves challenging topography or complex structures, robust structural support is non-negotiable. We provide detailed engineering for retaining walls and foundations to ensure stability and safety for the long term.

Retaining Wall Design
We design various types of retaining walls (e.g. gravity, cantilever, and segmental block) to stabilize slopes and create usable flat areas on sloped sites.

Shallow and Deep Foundation Design
Based on geotechnical reports, we provide detailed plans for foundations that will safely support your structures, whether they require simple spread footings or more complex deep foundation systems.

Utility Coordination & Design

A well-coordinated utility plan prevents costly conflicts and delays during construction. We manage the intricate process of designing and coordinating all essential utilities for your project.

Utility Infrastructure Design
We design water distribution lines, sanitary sewer systems (gravity and pressure), and storm sewer networks.

Dry Utility Coordination
Our team prepares composite plans showing the proposed locations of all utilities (water, sewer, gas, electric, communications) and coordinates with the respective utility companies to prevent conflicts and streamline installation.

Permit-Ready Packages

Navigating the permitting process can be one of the most challenging aspects of any project. We take the lead by preparing comprehensive, permit-ready packages and managing the submission process on your behalf. Our established relationships with review agencies help keep your project moving forward without unnecessary delays.

Complete Drawing Sets
We compile all necessary civil engineering drawings, details, and specifications into a professional, clear, and complete package.

Technical Reports and Calculations
All supporting documentation, such as drainage reports, traffic impact studies, and structural calculations, are included.

Agency Submission and Management
We handle the entire submittal process, respond to comments from review agencies, and work proactively to secure all necessary approvals for construction.
