Services & Technical Oversight
We deliver independent civil engineering audits, environmental monitoring, and stormwater compliance services to protect project timelines, budgets, and water quality.
How Can Municipalities Maintain Regulatory Compliance And Protect Local Watersheds?
Municipal Stormwater & MS4 Compliance Services
We assist local governments and municipalities in managing Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) compliance and enforcement requirements. Our work includes detailed MS4 permit audits, outfall monitoring, illicit discharge detection, and storm sewer mapping verification.
Through flood risk assessments, infrastructure planning, and public outreach program evaluations, we ensure local storm drainage networks operate within state and federal guidelines to prevent community flooding and ecological damage.
How Do You Prevent Soil Erosion And Avoid Costly Site Penalties?
Erosion & Sedimentation Control (E&SC) Services
We perform Certified Level II E&SC plan reviews, site drainage plan evaluations, and soil erosion risk assessments to verify compliance before construction begins. Our team evaluates Best Management Practices (BMPs) to confirm their field effectiveness.
During active operations, we conduct regular field inspections of installed sediment traps, silt barriers, and soil stabilization measures. We monitor construction site runoff to limit soil loss and protect surrounding water bodies.
How Do You Guarantee Infrastructure Performance Across All Construction Phases?
Construction Site & Infrastructure Inspections
We provide site evaluations to verify active safety practices, temporary stormwater controls, and correct site grading. Our inspectors audit structural drainage elements, including catch basins, retention ponds, detention basins, inlet/outlet structures, and stormwater pipe lines.
At project closeout, we perform final site stabilization assessments, permanent BMP functionality checks, and as-built stormwater system verifications to confirm long-term drainage reliability.
How Can Private Developers Keep SWPPP Management Simple And Compliant?
Commercial, Industrial & Residential SWPPP Services
We create and manage Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) tailored for commercial, industrial, and residential land developments. For industrial sites, we conduct water discharge evaluations, hazardous material spill prevention planning, staff training, and water sampling.
For commercial and residential projects, we perform parking lot drainage evaluations, BMP maintenance scheduling, permit assistance, rain garden design consulting, and permeable pavement planning to control site runoff.
