Our Services

Our services are structured to support both public agencies and private clients, with an emphasis on clear communication, practical solutions, and projects that can be successfully permitted, constructed, and maintained.

Civil Engineering

We design civil improvements for both public infrastructure and private development projects. Work commonly includes roadway and access improvements, grading and drainage, utility improvements, and related site work.

Services include:

Site and improvement design

  • site civil design for residential, commercial, and public improvement projects

  • grading and drainage design coordinated with geotechnical and hydrologic information

  • roadways, streets, and circulation improvements

  • driveways and access road improvements

  • water and sewer infrastructure

  • utility service connections and extensions

  • fire access and emergency vehicle access compliance

  • culverts and stream crossings, including fish and wildlife passage considerations

Drainage, stormwater & stabilization

  • storm drainage collection and conveyance systems

  • stormwater management design, including LID and green infrastructure features

  • bioretention facilities, infiltration basins, and treatment control BMPs

  • detention and retention systems

  • hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for site runoff and conveyance

  • erosion control and site stabilization measures

Accessibility & safety improvements

  • ADA-compliant site improvements and accessible routes

  • curb ramps, sidewalks, and pedestrian circulation improvements

  • grading and layout to meet accessibility requirements

  • intersection and crossing safety improvements

Structural & minor civil elements

  • small foundations and equipment pads for site structures

  • retaining walls and grade separations

  • culvert headwalls and inlet/outlet structures

  • guardrails, barriers, and protective site elements

  • signage and light site structures

Engineering documentation

  • basis of design memoranda and technical documentation

  • preliminary construction cost estimates and engineer’s opinions of probable cost

  • technical specifications and bid documentation

  • coordination with drainage, stormwater, and construction phase services

Engineering Survey & Site Evaluation

We collect and verify site information needed to prepare accurate civil engineering designs. Reliable base mapping and field verification early in a project helps avoid redesign, change orders, and construction conflicts. This information also supports preliminary project evaluation and planning.

Services include:

  • Topographic surveys to support civil design and plan preparation

  • Site evaluation and field verification of existing conditions

  • Construction staking and layout verification

  • Quantity takeoffs and cut/fill analyses for grading evaluation

  • Documentation of existing drainage patterns and access conditions

  • UAV (drone) imagery to supplement site review and project documentation

Agency Coordination

We coordinate directly with local and state agencies to prepare organized engineering submittals and respond to review comments efficiently. Clear documentation and communication help reduce review cycles and keep projects moving through approval and authorization.

Services include:

  • Preparation of engineering drawings and supporting documentation for agency review

  • Grading permit submittals with supporting calculations and technical justification

  • Stormwater compliance documentation, including WPCPs, ESCPs, and QSD/QSP-related support

  • Encroachment permit support for city, county, and Caltrans jurisdictions

  • Coordination with planning, building, environmental, and public works departments

  • Responses to plan-check comments, revisions, and resubmittals

We frequently work with small agencies and limited staff resources and structure our coordination and documentation to help projects move efficiently through review while maintaining clear communication with reviewing departments and oversight agencies.

Construction Phase Support

We remain involved during construction to help the project be built in accordance with the design and to address field conditions as they arise. Timely responses, field coordination, and clear documentation help reduce delays, avoid misunderstandings, and keep construction moving. Continued engineering involvement during construction helps resolve field issues promptly and supports accurate project records.

Services include:

  • Construction observation visits and field documentation

  • Responses to contractor RFIs related to civil improvements

  • Review of civil submittals for general conformance with the design intent

  • Evaluation of field conditions and recommendations for minor design adjustments

  • Coordination with contractors, agency staff, inspectors, and other consultants

  • Assistance with change documentation and clarification sketches

  • Preparation of record drawings (as-builts) based on contractor-provided information
