Engineering and site civil services

 Our engineering team will work closely with your project stakeholders, including architects, builders, and regulatory agencies, to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. From site grading and drainage design to utility infrastructure and roadways, site civil engineering services play a critical role in the development of functional and sustainable built environments. 

Wall check surveys, or foundation location surveys, checks to confirm foundation and structures are located according to plans to meet construction permit inspection requirements. 

During utility stake out, Landtek marks out the project area using project stakes to provide improvements, mark curb, gutter and utility locations as well as elevation grade measurements.  

Erosion and sediment control plan implementation is needed to control the exposed soil and keep it from washing away into storm drains, streams, rivers, the bay and ocean. The erosion and sediment control plan approval may be  required before construction, to prevent siltation due to releases of sediment (soil) from active construction sites.  

The plan typically includes a set of guidelines, best management practices, and specific measures designed to minimize soil erosion, reduce sediment runoff, and protect nearby water resources.

The erosion and sediment control plan service typically involves the following steps:

1. Site evaluation: A land development professional will evaluate the site and identify potential sources of soil erosion and sedimentation, such as steep slopes, waterways, and construction activities.
2. Design of erosion and sediment control measures: The professional will design a set of measures tailored to the site's specific needs, which may include sediment basins, silt fences, erosion control blankets, and vegetative stabilization.
3. Preparation of plan: The professional will prepare a written plan that includes a detailed description of the proposed measures, construction specifications, and estimated costs.
4. Implementation and monitoring: The professional will oversee the installation of the erosion and sediment control measures and monitor the site during construction to ensure that the plan is being followed correctly.

By implementing an erosion and sediment control plan, construction activities can be conducted in a manner that minimizes soil erosion and sedimentation, protects nearby water resources, and ensures compliance with local regulations.

Stormwater management plan approval is required to prevent stream bank erosion by controlling the rate of stormwater runoff from newly developed areas by using infiltration practices, shallow marshes, and retention and detention ponds.  A stormwater management plan is commonly required by municipalities for areas of disturbance greater than 5,000 square feet or areas that result in an excavation of more than 100 cubic yards. 

The plan typically includes a set of guidelines, best management practices, and specific measures designed to capture, treat, and control stormwater runoff from the site to protect nearby water resources and meet regulatory requirements.

The stormwater management plan service typically involves the following steps:

1. Site evaluation: Evaluate the site and identify potential sources of stormwater runoff, such as impervious surfaces, slopes, and drainage patterns.
2. Design of stormwater management measures: A set of measures tailored to the site's specific needs, which may include retention and detention ponds, rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable pavements.
3. Preparation of plan: A written plan that includes a detailed description of the proposed measures, construction specifications, and estimated costs.
4. Implementation and monitoring: Oversight of the installation of the stormwater management measures and monitor the site after construction to ensure that the plan is being followed correctly and that the measures are functioning as intended.

By implementing a stormwater management plan, a development site can capture and treat stormwater runoff, reduce erosion, and protect nearby water resources. This helps to comply with local, state, and federal regulations and protect the environment.
