Services
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering services focus on comprehensive site development solutions. We specialize in roadway design, utility systems, and infrastructure planning that meets regulatory requirements while optimizing land use. Our team creates detailed grading plans that balance soil movement to reduce trucking costs and implements stormwater management systems that comply with environmental regulations. With expertise in both residential and commercial projects, we deliver designs that integrate seamlessly with existing site conditions while maintaining strict budget controls.
Land Surveying
We provide precise land surveying services for property development and legal documentation. Our offerings include ALTA/NSPS surveys, topographic mapping, and construction staking to support accurate project execution. We conduct boundary surveys to resolve property disputes and create detailed site plans for permitting. Our team uses advanced GPS and 3D scanning technology to ensure survey accuracy within millimeter tolerances. These services support both small-scale residential projects and large commercial developments throughout Wisconsin.
Stormwater Management
Our stormwater management solutions combine hydraulic modeling with practical design to control runoff and prevent flooding. We develop detention basins, infiltration systems, and conveyance networks that comply with Wisconsin DNR regulations. Our engineers analyze watershed characteristics to create site-specific solutions that minimize environmental impact. We also provide SWPPP plans for construction sites and long-term maintenance strategies for existing stormwater facilities. These services help clients obtain necessary permits while protecting downstream properties from water damage.
Site Development
We guide clients through the complete site development process from concept to construction. Our services include zoning analysis, entitlement coordination, and infrastructure design for residential subdivisions and commercial centers. We specialize in transforming challenging sites with wetlands, floodplains, or poor soils into developable properties. Our team manages permitting with local agencies and prepares detailed construction documents for bidding. We also provide construction administration to ensure design intent is maintained throughout project execution.
Environmental Assessments
We conduct Phase I and II environmental site assessments to identify potential contamination risks. Our services include wetland delineation, hazardous materials evaluation, and regulatory compliance reviews. We help clients navigate environmental permitting requirements and develop remediation plans when necessary. Our assessments incorporate GIS mapping and soil testing to provide comprehensive site characterizations. These evaluations support informed decision-making for land acquisition and development projects across Wisconsin.
