Services
Water Resource Management
Our engineers design comprehensive water infrastructure solutions including transmission lines, stormwater detention systems, and wastewater networks. We specialize in hydrologic modeling and drainage analysis to support sustainable water management for growing communities. With nearly a million linear feet of water utility lines designed for Houston agencies, our team ensures reliable water distribution and flood mitigation systems.
Transportation Engineering
We provide full-spectrum transportation solutions from pavement analysis to traffic control planning. Our expertise includes roadway rehabilitation, bridge studies, and transit system integration. By combining stormwater management with transportation design, we create safer, more efficient infrastructure for Houston's expanding urban environment, including rail corridors and pedestrian pathways.
Land Surveying
Our survey teams conduct topographic, boundary, and construction surveys using advanced GPS technology. Certified for restricted area access, we provide ALTA/ACSM standards surveys and right-of-way mapping essential for infrastructure projects. These precise measurements form the foundation for all our engineering designs and permitting processes.
Site Development
We support commercial and public site development through grading plans, utility coordination, and permitting. Our engineers handle projects ranging from school campuses to industrial parks, integrating transportation and water management systems. We provide due diligence studies and construction-phase support to ensure projects meet regulatory requirements and community needs.
Stormwater Management
Our stormwater experts design detention basins, drainage channels, and pollution prevention systems. We conduct hydrologic assessments to mitigate flood risks in Houston's hurricane-prone region. By integrating green infrastructure with traditional drainage systems, we create resilient solutions that protect both urban development and natural waterways.
