Land Surveying
Our land surveying services utilize state-of-the-art equipment and a 100+ year historical database to deliver precise boundary determinations, topographic mapping, and construction staking. We specialize in ALTA/ACSM surveys, flood plane mapping, and subdivision layouts for residential and commercial developments. With licensed surveyors and experienced crews, we ensure compliance with Connecticut and New York state regulations while maintaining historical accuracy.
Civil Engineering
We provide comprehensive civil engineering solutions including storm drainage design, sanitary sewer systems, and flood-resistant construction. Our team develops site plans, grading proposals, and bid documents while managing municipal approvals. With expertise in both public infrastructure and private development projects, we deliver cost-effective engineering solutions that meet regulatory requirements and client objectives across Fairfield and Westchester Counties.
Environmental Science
Our environmental science division specializes in wetlands management, shoreline stabilization, and stormwater quality compliance. We process approximately 40% of Greenwich's wetlands applications, preparing environmental impact statements and mitigation plans. Services include erosion control, pond dredging, and FEMA elevation certifications to ensure regulatory compliance while protecting natural resources in coastal and inland ecosystems.
Project Management
We coordinate engineering, zoning approvals, and construction activities for complex developments. Our project management services integrate surveying data with engineering plans to streamline permitting processes and reduce project costs. We manage relationships between architects, builders, and municipal authorities to ensure timely execution of residential subdivisions, commercial sites, and infrastructure improvements across the region.
Flood Mitigation
We design flood mitigation structures and green infrastructure solutions to manage stormwater runoff. Our services include rain garden implementation, flood elevation certifications, and coastal development planning. By combining hydraulic engineering with environmental protection strategies, we help clients obtain flood insurance compliance while minimizing erosion and pollution in sensitive wetland areas.
