Conceptual Site Layouts
When a client needs to develop a piece of property, we look at it from many aspects.We will lay out several designs and present them to our client for input and discussion. We will point out the possible difficulties, along with the advantageous natural qualities of the site. We will attempt to maintain what is there, and blend the new layout with the existing. We provide rendered site drawings for use in presentations.
Platting
If a client needs to subdivide some property, we can create an efficient and friendly layout. We will do our best to maintain many of the natural features of the property, where desired or necessary. We can take care of the drawings and filing, and even have close relationships with several surveyors, should the governing body require a surveyors approval.
Master Planning
As populations swell, and existing infrastructure reach their peak, plans need to be made for expansion. Zoning needs to be adjusted and future trends need to be planned for. We can provide an unbiased view into what needs to be done for the whole community.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Designs
New construction almost always requires an extension, in some form, of water and waste services from the publicly provided lines. We can work with the city and determine what the best course of action would be, should a client need to extend public lines or simply tie into what is readily available.
Drainage Studies
In every new development there is often a requirement for a drainage study. The city will often require us to analyze the existing and proposed conditions of the property and determine how we are impacting the storm water runoff. We study the property and determine if detention will be needed, and how much. We can do our best to limit the need for detention or lower the impact of the development with newer techniques and methods, and when possible, we will do what we can to implement such concepts.
Storm Sewer Designs
Often the most need for storm sewer design is a culvert at the driveway. Falling hand-in-hand with drainage studies, we determine how much storm runoff is flowing through or past the property, in order to determine the optimum size of the culvert(s) to be placed. When an intensive layout is needed, we can develop a more stringent drainage study to encapsulate all the water from the site, and split it up to take it from the site into the public systems available or to store it in underground tanks for reuse.
