Civil engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the physical environment, both natural and man-made. The civil engineering process typically begins with a site survey to establish local topography and identify possible terrain hazards. Also included at an early phase is a geotechnical investigation and report, which establishes the suitability of the existing soils to support the proposed installation.

After the preliminary investigation is completed, any or all of the following civil items may be included, depending on your project-specific requirements:

  • Layout and design of access roads,

  • Drainage system design,

  • Erosion control system design

  • Site grading and other required earthwork,

  • O&M building layout and design,

  • Foundation design (pads or piles),

  • Fencing layout,

  • Preparation of necessary documentation, including:

    • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP),

    • Preliminary construction drawings for review, and/or

    • Final construction drawings for jurisdictional approval

  • … and more!
