Services
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering team provides comprehensive planning, design, and project management for infrastructure projects. We specialize in roadway design, water system development, and municipal engineering. With integrated services spanning land development to transportation, we deliver solutions that meet regulatory standards while optimizing community impact.
Environmental Permitting
We navigate complex environmental regulations to secure permits for development projects. Our services include Phase I/II assessments, NEPA compliance, and hazardous materials management. By aligning projects with EPA and state guidelines, we minimize delays and ensure sustainable outcomes for clients.
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical services assess subsurface conditions to inform foundation design and construction. Using advanced drilling rigs and lab testing, we evaluate soil stability, shrink/swell potential, and slope integrity. This data reduces project risks and ensures structural longevity for diverse infrastructure projects.
Pipeline Inspections
We conduct CCTV pipeline inspections to identify defects in sewer and stormwater systems. Using NASSCO-certified protocols, we document pipe condition, detect infiltration issues, and provide benchmark data for maintenance planning. Our services support municipalities and developers in preserving infrastructure integrity.
Cultural Resource Management
Our CRM team identifies and preserves historical assets during development. Services include archaeological surveys, historic structure reports, and artifact conservation. Partnering with academic institutions, we balance regulatory compliance with development needs through data-driven preservation strategies.
