Civil Engineering
Tailored Solutions for a Project-Ready Site

Our civil engineers work tirelessly to lay the groundwork, literally and figuratively, that sets the stage for the success of your entire site. To do this, we start by engaging our engineering experts early in a project, collaborating with key stakeholders to define project goals, desired outcomes, and the overall vision for the site. We also build alignment on community needs and regulations and work closely with key agencies such as water and wastewater service providers to gather data on existing services, ensuring proper integration and avoiding conflicts during design.

As a project progresses, we don’t shy away from change; we expect it and adapt accordingly as other disciplines move through design iterations. With this unique mindset and our fluid engineering approach, we can act quickly and keep your project progressing. The result is a construction-ready site optimized for your exact needs.  

Site Master Planning

• Conducting comprehensive assessments of a site's physical characteristics, including topography, environmental features, existing infrastructure, and zoning requirements
• Developing initial site layouts and circulation plans that optimize land use, promote accessibility, and integrate green spaces while considering future growth and development
• Positioning building(s) on the site while considering circulation patterns, roadways, parking areas, sidewalks, curbing, and any necessary paving

Site Grading and Stormwater Design

• Assessing existing property topography and adjacent roads to develop the most appropriate and cost-effective mass grading strategy
• Utilizing grading strategies to minimize soil erosion during construction and directing rainfall away from buildings and other structures towards engineered drainage systems after construction
• Designing stormwater management systems that meet or exceed local water quantity standards

Sanitary and Process Waste Design

• Evaluating site topography, soil conditions, and existing drainage patterns to determine the optimal layout for the sanitary sewer system
• Calculating expected wastewater flow rates and peak loading conditions to size pipes and determine necessary slopes for effective drainage
• Developing detailed engineering drawings that specify pipe materials, diameters, alignment, and manhole locations, ensuring compliance with local codes and standards

Domestic and Fire Water Supply & Distribution

• Assessing the topography, existing infrastructure, and water source availability to determine the most efficient layout for the water service system
• Calculating projected water demand based on usage patterns, peak flow rates, and future expansion needs to size pipes and design the distribution network
• Creating detailed engineering plans outlining pipe materials, diameters, valves, and hydrant placements, ensuring compliance with local regulations and industry standards
