Commercial Design
Services generally include:
- Site Layout and Design: Civil site layout and design establishes the overall site development layout to ensure building placement, circulation, parking, and supporting structures are well positioned for the site’s intended commercial use.
- Grading Design: Grading design in civil engineering shapes the land to create appropriate finished floor elevations and slopes critical to site development success and stormwater management.
- Erosion Control Design: Erosion control is a civil design component that protects exposed soils and supports responsible site development by minimizing sediment runoff.
- Sanitary Sewer Design: Civil design of sanitary sewer systems ensures reliable wastewater conveyance as part of comprehensive site development, including properly sized sewer connections and infrastructure.
- Utility Design: Utility design organizes water, sewer, electric, and other essential utility infrastructure systems and connections to support the site development of a commercial property.
- Stormwater Management Plans: Stormwater management evaluates how stormwater will be controlled, treated, and safely released. Civil design for stormwater incorporates runoff control structures–underground or above ground detention ponds, swales, culverts, storm sewers, and trenches–to mitigate stormwater impacts on commercial sites.
- Hydrology: Hydrology is a crucial element of civil design that analyzes and predicts how stormwater will flow after the site is developed. This ensures roads do not flood, buildings stay dry, and stormwater systems and structures are properly sized to handle predicted stormwater loads.
- Water System Design: Water system civil design provides dependable potable water delivery that is foundational to site development on commercial sites.
- Dams And Reservoirs: Civil design for dams and reservoirs supports on-site water storage and management as part of larger site development strategies.
- Landscape Design: Landscape design complements civil design and site development by enhancing the aesthetics and ecological function of outdoor spaces for commercial projects.
