Civil Engineering

Better Living

We engineer modern infrastructure projects that improve communities and every life within them. Our civil experts know how to solve the complex, ever-growing challenges facing population centers to advance our societies.

Our Expertise

Our civil engineering team handles all facets of all types of infrastructure projects, including land and site development, public and private utility systems, flood control and drainage systems, streetscape improvements and more. We understand what it takes to make major changes within densely populated areas. Our experts design for optimal stage sequencing to ensure construction is cost and time efficient, disruption is minimal, and the finished spaces are functional, livable and beautiful.

Geomorphology

Our engineers have deep understanding of how water moves and shapes the landscapes it flows through over long periods of time. We are experts in the behaviors of clays, sands, silts, rocks and loams as they encounter currents from rivers, streams, storm runoff and other flows. Our scour and other geomorphology studies inform bank restoration and erosion control projects to protect our built environments in harmony with the laws of nature.

Land Development

Our civil engineers are solemn stewards of the land. Our team evaluates planned development sites on a range of criteria, including traffic, roadway access, flooding, drainage, available utilities, regulations and permitting, always measured against potential environmental impacts. Our studies guide the full range of infrastructure projects, from special funding districts to campuses to municipalities.

Master Planning

Our team creates detailed plans to help our clients realize the grand vision they have for their projects. It starts with inspiration. We envision how the finished spaces ultimately will serve the people who use them. Then we create a plan to make it happen, encompassing development sequencing, capital stewardship, asset management, sustainability, and infrastructure design for foot and vehicle traffic, drainage, utilities, and more.

Roadway Design

We help growing cities run smoothly and serve their citizens with better connectivity, less congestion, lower stress and happier lives. Public and private clients call on our expertise in traffic control, bridges, drainage, green infrastructure, and master planning to engineer new thoroughfares and upgrade failing roadway systems. We bring advanced visualization tools, clash detection technology and decades of experience to every project.

Site Development

We collaborate with architects, landscape architects and other specialty consultants to ensure sites can be developed that achieve the client’s goals. We analyze all elements critical to successful site development, including traffic and roadway access, flood potential, drainage, environmental impacts, utility availability and regulatory approval. Our team brings expertise in assessment, design, planning, permitting and sustainability to help projects proceed.

Utility System Design

Our civil engineers are adept at designing all forms of utilities. For municipalities we plan and engineer stormwater, wastewater and water supply systems. We also design all franchise utility systems, including electrical, gas, communications, data and more. Our team is well known for its expertise creating complex systems that balance user needs, construction efficiency and maintainability of the finished project.

Infrastructure Litigation

Leveraging extensive insurance expertise, our seasoned professionals specialize in global property loss and CAT Events response. We have worked with major corporations worldwide and have the experience to ensure swift recovery. Our in-house consultants adeptly navigate insurance processes, efficiently reporting findings to expediting the claims and litigation process. Whether addressing water intrusion, construction defects, or catastrophic losses, our experts conduct thorough site reviews, develop strategic cases, and offer forensic services. 24/7 emergency response ensures swift risk mitigation and practical solutions for rapid business resumption.
