storm water design & hydraulic modeling

Storm water design has traditionally been situating pipes to get the water away as fast as possible, but now after several generations of pushing the problem downstream major damage has been done to receiving streams including pollution, and major erosion. Most municipalities require storm water detention to slow the water and help alleviate erosion, but many are now also requiring water quality features. Ecological stormwater design is important not just for meeting the code, but also for the environment. Storm water solutions can be worked artfully into the site design to avoid large detention ponds and work as multi use areas and as ecologically blended plantings that provide color and interest to the site while providing a water quality function. Ironically, do things with a more natural bent can be a more affordable option.

utility extensions large and small

Commercial development projects of all sizes often require water and sewer extensions, but often small projects also need to navigate the labyrinthine process of design and approval through the local water authority and the state. It is often the case that a lot you want to build your dream house on needs to have public sewer or water mains brought to it. Most municipalities and agencies do not let you run private services across neighboring properties even with an easement. I can design and gain approval for a utility extension and get you on your way toward building your home. No project too small. I know how difficult it can be to find someone for a small residential project.
