Civil engineering is about more than infrastructure - it’s where vision meets reality.

It’s thoughtful, behind-the-scenes work that quietly powers the built environment. Our designs support resilience, sustainability and the everyday experiences of people moving through space. Our civil engineers work closely with owners, architects and municipalities to balance performance, constructability and long-term value.

Whether we’re navigating site constraints, regulatory hurdles or tight timelines, we bring a steady, thoughtful approach and a deep understanding of how decisions ripple through a project. We pride ourselves on being collaborative problem solvers and trusted partners.

Site Design

Aligning vision with the land to create possibilities.

site design

Site development civil engineering transforms raw land into construction-ready sites through comprehensive technical design and planning. Our approach encompasses grading and earthwork design to establish optimal building pad elevations and site drainage patterns, as well as utility infrastructure coordination for water, sewer, storm drainage and dry utilities. Additionally, we provide strategic parking lot and internal roadway layouts that provide efficient circulation and accessibility.

We design integrated stormwater management systems, including detention and retention facilities with water quality measures, while implementing erosion and sediment control strategies that protect your investment from day one. Our team navigates the full spectrum of regulatory requirements – from local zoning and environmental compliance to accessibility standards – helping your project comply with all codes while integrating seamlessly with existing surrounding infrastructure.

Subdivision Design

Creating communities to improve lives.

subdivision design

Subdivision civil engineering transforms large parcels into thriving communities through comprehensive master planning and technical design, creating entirely new neighborhoods or districts. Our process begins with strategic lot layout optimization and the design of new public streets, built to proper geometric standards, which provide seamless connectivity to existing road networks while establishing efficient circulation patterns throughout the development.

We design complete utility infrastructure systems – including water distribution networks, sanitary sewer collection systems and storm drainage systems – all properly sized to serve the entire subdivision both now and as it grows. Our planning integrates recreational facilities, parks, trails and community amenities that enhance livability while adding long-term value to the development.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

A comprehensive approach integrating diverse datasets to create a clear, visual representation of your world.

geographic information systems

Our team unlocks the power of location intelligence by creating, managing, analyzing, and mapping data in ways that traditional methods simply can’t. Whether you’re optimizing resources, assessing risk, or planning for the future, GIS provides the insights to make smarter choices.

We offer services ranging from digitization and data entry to cartography and map production, extending to advanced geoprocessing, spatial analysis, and geospatial data science. We handle GIS projects comprehensively from inception to completion.

We provide GIS for many sectors including oil and gas, transportation, infrastructure, power, waste and water, government and municipalities, planning, utilities, retail, school districts, healthcare campuses and more.

Data Collection: We tailor your data to your specific requirements. Our capability to work with a variety of different data formats means we can work with just about any data sent our way. A specialized spatial database offers tailored management, processing and analytical tools designed for intricate geospatial data. These databases are expanded to accommodate spatial data types and queries.

We have experience in crafting and implementing file-based and server-based databases, whether on-site or in cloud environments. Some examples of spatial databases we work with include ESRI File Geodatabase, ESRI Personal Geodatabase and ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase (ArcSDE).

Mapping and Visualization: GIS-based web mapping represents an innovative technology enabling users to access and engage with spatial data via the internet.

Going beyond the limitations of traditional static maps, web mapping democratizes spatial data accessibility, catering to a broad spectrum of users beyond GIS professionals. These interactive maps incorporate real-time data, fostering collaboration and sharing.

From data visualization to analytics and cloud-based data storage, we provide comprehensive support to leverage the full potential of web mapping technology.

Pavement Management

Extending the life of your pavement and protecting your investment.

pavement management

Well-maintained pavement is essential in preserving the value of a property. A typical parking lot or service road will last about 20 to 30 years before it deteriorates into a safety hazard. However, sometime before that, the lot will no longer provide an acceptable serviceability. 

Our pavement management services provide a proactive approach to maintaining your valuable assets. We analyze your pavement network, identify potential issues, and develop customized solutions that address your specific needs and budget.

Many property owners and managers can benefit from a one-time repair of their pavement, while others may benefit more from a comprehensive analysis of their pavement network. Our pavement management system prioritizes localized failures for budgeting purposes and to maximize maintenance dollars.

Our team can update an existing pavement management program or develop a new system. We can customize the entire pavement maintenance and rehabilitation requirements of multiple facilities. Our services correspond to the individual operational needs of each client on a site-by-site basis.
